Our school community meets every Monday and we "shout out" our students. The whole gym claps along to this tune. This week we shout out those of you braving the danger day in, day out. ❤ @orchardparkdsbn animoto.com/s/fmEZ2Aa7TISA… #animoto

Our Ms Abbey is celebrating a milestone birthday this year! So staff and students surprised her with a bday gift at morning assembly. A flash mob to her favourite song! She had no idea what was about to happen! @orchardparkdsbn

I know you're not allowed to take photos at an official polling station, but here are some shots from @orchardparkdsbn #studentvote Gr4-8 cast their ballots. Gr8 poll clerks, returning officers, scrutineers. What a cool day! Can't wait to cast my own vote tonight! @CIVIX_Canada

Week 1 is in the books and what a great week it was! Our theme for the week and the foreseeable future is focusing on moving towards a growth mindset. @orchardparkdsbn

Challenged ourselves today in Math with a brain teaser activity to warm up our minds! The kids loved it, and they crushed it! @orchardparkdsbn

Awesome way to kick off the new year with an excited bunch of Grade 7s - they loved our Robotics team building exercise! We were working on building the robots - stay tuned for programming in the future! @orchardparkdsbn
