Taking a Bite Out of Education
Since the start of the school year, there have been wonderful things
taking place at Primary Plus Elementary and West Valley Middle Schools.
Numerous changes have been implemented that are currently improving
young minds and ensuring that our students do, in fact, start ahead and
stay ahead. We’ve received great feedback on our new Transitional
Kindergarten program due to the inclusion of OWL (“Open the World of
Learning”) materials, our popular soccer league is in full-swing, our
dance classes are all filled to the brim, and the students have just
begun another stimulating academic year.

school’s very own (undiscovered!) artists. The artwork on display was
made in Stephanie Nguyen’s week-long summer art camp, where aptly-titled

https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.10150259160541753.368103.173345551752
Where else can you go on a Friday night for great food, good drinks,
shopping and spa services in one location? The first Action Day Primary
Plus Mommy Mixer was a huge success and we were happy to host moms from
our community. There was a great line-up of vendors including the Blue
Jean Bar, Stella & Dot, CaBi and Essential Bodywear selling their items,
as well as discounted spa services, including brow waxing, henna
tattoos, make-up applications and feather extensions from local vendors.
Guests could nosh on fabulous food offerings from local restaurants,
including the new Yard House and Michi Sushi, while sipping Mommy Juice
wines or one of our custom mixed drinks at the bar. Throw in some tunes
from Marla Davies and the Mix 106.5 team and it was quite a party. At
the end of the night, Marla helped announce the raffle winners who won
prizes including a month’s free tuition, a 4-hour limo ride, and more. |
