Here are some picture of our grade six students from this evenings concert.

Get ready to support École Good Shepherd School during the Covet School's Out Contest this year! Starting May 25th until June 5th, you can order a Shepherd Summer Sparkler! This is the ultimate summer drink for Grizzlies! It starts with Lemonade and a blast of Blue Raspberry to get that perfect school blue. Then, we mix in a splash of Mountain Dew and a swirl of Mango Puree for a 'Grizzly Gold' look that tastes like sunshine. We even added Fresh Lime to make it super refreshing - it’s the best way to celebrate the end of the year!

Last week, Mme Boudreau’s Grade 5 class was introduced to coding through the use of Ozobots! 🤖✨Through this hands-on experience, students are beginning to explore the basics of coding by using colour-coded commands to guide their Ozobots. This introduction to coding is a fun and engaging way to build foundational skills like logical thinking, creativity, and perseverance. They are excited to build on this learning as they continue to develop their confidence and skills in coding!🚀
