Parents and guardians, do not miss this opportunity to enroll your students in summer swim lessons. As island residents, it is imperative to know how to swim and, it's a fun skill to have. Transportation to and from the ferry is included in the session costs.

We enjoyed a beautiful day in Cedarville Thursday! Thank you to the Green Thumb for taking the time to show our kids around, and allowing each of our students to take home a flower or tomato plant. We were able to enjoy a delicious lunch and An-Gios and then wrapped up our day with a gorgeous hike! We couldn't have ordered better weather!

Now that winter seems to have sunk its teeth into us, we are finding that we having to drive slower than we do when the grass is green. Starting tomorrow, Mr. Martin's bus route, on Drummond Island will be picking students up, at their stops, 10 minutes earlier than our Spring and Fall routes allow for us to do. This will allow for us to make the 8:00 am ferry to the mainland. Thank you for your patience and understanding. Please feel free to share.
