Summer music camp was a hit! Grade 4-8 SRPSD students from W.J. Berezowsky, Princess Margaret and Vincent Massey public schools had the opportunity to participate in a four day SMA Summer Music Camp held at W.J. Berezowsky School in July. Students tried their hand at wind, percussion and string instruments as well as sang together in a group each day. The camp was a great opportunity for students to improve on their skills, try new instruments and make new friends.

It’s been a busy summer for SRPSD students with many involved in literacy, music and sport camps. Most recently Carlton Crusaders Sport Camp saw Grade 6-9 students learning about Badminton, Basketball, Volleyball, and Track and Field. Crusader Sport Camp Instructors include current Crusader Coaches, Athletes and Crusader Alumni. Each athlete receives a Crusader Sport Camp T-Shirt to remind everyone what they did this summer! SEE YOU TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 5th FOR THE START OF CLASSES AND A GREAT YEAR!
