The Abbeydale school values project is well underway! Students have been reading stories, watching videos and learning about the different values displayed by the people they are learning about. We also want families to think about the values that are important to them, and share them with us, as we create our Abbeydale School Values. That is why I am sending you this survey link. Please click the link and share the values that you think are important for us to teach at Abbeydale school.
