Ore Valley Student Notice
Hey everyone, happy Monday! I hope you all had a great weekend.
We hope you enjoyed our first end-of-year initiative celebrating culture. I couldn’t believe how many of you came along and got involved in the quiz—thank you! I hope you also enjoyed the mini Dutch pancakes, nachos, and scones.
We hope you had a great time at our Culture Day and look forward to seeing you at more events soon.
