We are home safe & sound !

Thank you for an awesome time at Toronto Island School !


We will be returning to McMurrich JPS shortly after 2pm today

Parent(s): I will do my best to tweet out snapshots of our daily activities. However, the wifi/data service on my phone is a bit unreliable on the Island... and in the moment photos will not be shared as quickly as I would like. Please feel free to check my class twitter account @McM_MsT
