Dear Families,

To all the Mothers, Grandmothers and Mother figures celebrating this weekend, we thank you for everything that you do for our students. We wish you a day filled with love and joy. Happy Mother’s Day!

Congratulations to all of our Track and Field Athletes who participated in the Track and Field Event on Monday. We are so proud of all of our Thunderbirds that represented Cliff Drive! Everyone worked so hard in training and it really paid off, as we have over 65 athletes heading to the District Track Meet. Our District Track Meet is on Thursday May 14th at North Delta Senior Secondary. Please see the notice that went home Friday with those students who qualified. Go Thunderbirds!
