Good afternoon to our QEB families,
Thank you to those that were able to join us for our Open House - it was wonderful to see so many families touring through the school and joining us for our BBQ! We are thankful also for our community partners for volunteering their time, energy and resources to provide the BBQ for us to enjoy!
Our QEB Cross Country Team had an amazing day of racing this past Wednesday at the School Group meet at Quinte Mohawk school. We are proud of each and every runner who gave it their best! Congratulations to the nine QEB runners who will be competing at our District Cross Country Meet in Prince Edward County next Wednesday
Our students also reviewed and learned many things this past week as we completed our Terry Fox Run and continued to learn about Truth & Reconciliation. Check out our Twitter and/or Facebook accounts for great pictures of the events!
