#TBT The students of the three Rossbrook House off-campus schools were celebrated two weeks ago. Graduates and special award winners were honoured from Rising Sun, Eagles’ Circle and Wi Wabigooni. We also said farewell to teachers, Laurie, Claire and Jenn. We wish the students who graduated or have moved on to other schools the very best.
Thank you to Sons & Daughters of Italy for once again providing the delicious pasta meal and being there to dish it out! Your friendship to Rossbrook House children and youth is invaluable!
