An Awards Ceremony is expected to happen outside in the plaza, following COVID-19 protocols. If it rains, we will hold it below the plaza. Families will be asked to organize outside by grade. This year we will not be able to provide refreshments. 

Thank you for your understanding.

Please Note: If it rains, there might be a change of plans for the ceremony, so please be aware of that. We will let you know if the forecast predicts it.
