Today our students celebrated diversity with over 2000 other students from across Winnipeg School Division. Everybody met at The Forks to hear and celebrate important work and messages about Diversity. We are so proud of our students in room 207 along with some classmates in room 203 for leading the challenge of taking care of one another back at the school. Alexis, along with Maria and Xander, designed the banner that will proudly be on display at Fort Rouge School. 
Everybody Has The Right…
