What an eerie-sistable Howl-loween night at Dr. Penner! Thank-you to the PAC for the fang-tastic night! So much fun. So great to see so many families out and students having a great time! #PandaNation

@JohnRossVP Thank-you Michael, we appreciate you calling for language that is reflective of inclusivity for different abilities.

@pennerLRSD I am encouraging schools to be inclusive of different abilities and add “Roll” to the name of their Terry Fox event.

Warming up with a relay for the Terry Fox Run. Wow, what a great campaign everyone, we exceeded all goals and raised $1023.00! Thank-you students, staff, families and community. Way to go #PandaNation!

In the spirit of community and gratitude, our students gathered today for Thanksgiving lunch hosted by our PAC, and we shared the things that we are thankful. At Dr. D. W. Penner we are grateful for our community and PAC who are driven to enrich the experiences of our students.
