Special Opportunity June 4:
Today our neighbour school, Corpus Christi, celebrated their 60th Anniversary. They had a Musical Ride from Lord Strathcona’s Horse Ceremonial Mounted Troop Cavalry Ride. We were invited to watch. Our class gathered on Thorncliffe School’s front grassy area and viewed the horses and riders perform.  What a wonderful opportunity!
