Jennifer Story invites you to a Ward Forum on French Language Learning in the TDSB.

Thanks to all who participated in our winter fundraisers. It’s no surprise that Roden parents stepped up to help organize, volunteer and participate in BIG ways! Not only did we raise funds for our school, but we built school spirit and were able to get out and meet new people along the way. Thank you for making this happen!
