Mr. Burke, principal of SKSS, came today to talk with our Grade 7 students.
Every single Grade 7 was an excellent representative of Pacific Way, their home, their community.
Mr. Burke stopped at the school office on his way out and told Mrs. Zryd that "he was very impressed with our Grade 7's and that SKSS is looking forward to having Pacific Way students attend their next year."
Great Job, Grade 7's.
