Happy New School Year!

                   Our First Day.....
We've had a terrific first few weeks at Metcalf School! Grade two and three students and all the new teachers in our building are settling into their classrooms nicely. Take a look at the pictures below as our faculty and staff make sure our students are happy and comfortable on their first day!  So many smiling faces eager to see their friends from last year and excited teachers finally meeting their new students.  :)





FUN with DJ OOCH!!  We had a blast!


































Thank you Mr. Flood, Mrs. Gardner, and children for sprucing up our playground before our first day of school! Thank you also to all the families that sent in sand toys, balls, and games. Metcalf students are loving all the new games. What a team we make!
