Happy Weekend Bruce Families!
My apologies for not sending a memo last week. We have had busy times at Bruce lately with much to celebrate!
On October 17th our Grade 6 students had a spectacular time at camp. They were highly engaged in all the activities that Manitou had to offer with the Wall Climbing, Zip-Lining and Archery among the favourites. We were incredibly proud of the participation and conduct of our students - way to go New Bears!
