Good morning room 5 and 6 families! It was so great to see so many of you yesterday during our Taradale Caravan! It was definitely one of the highlights of my time at Taradale, and it reminded me that we have an amazing school community. Thank you to everyone who came out! If you saw me, and I missed you, I'm sorry! I was waving like a crazy person and doing my best to try to spot everyone. I hope that it was as special for you as it was for all of the teachers. We miss seeing you everyday, and we can't wait to get back to school with you. Have a great Thursday, everyone!
