Dear Manitoba Families:

I am sorry but, we are unable to begin receiving students in our Camp “Kids Club” (before/after school care) with a start date of September 20, 2021.  One of our instructors has not cleared the hiring process and another will be out until the end of September.  I am sorry for the inconvenience this may have caused you.  The camp director, assistant director and tutor are ready to begin.  We are waiting on our instructors.

I will keep you posted once everyone has cleared and we are ready to go.  The recreation department is always looking for people that are interested in working with and assisting our students.

Sincerely,

Rhoda Jones Goodwin

Principal
