Weekly Update: April 27 – May 4

“April showers bring Mayflowers.”  Mayflowers are the official flower for the province of Nova Scotia, Canada.  They are a sure sign that spring is here and summer is not far away.  The IBDP and AP exams start next week so that indicates that the end of this school year is fast approaching.  Please be sure to stay ahead of all the due dates and please keep your GradeBook up to date.
