On Friday, Sept. 23, the Great Northern Exhibition (GNE) hosted an education day, where schools from nearby areas came and learned about farming and agriculture, maple syrup, animals, and even machinery.
Select classes from NCPS got to tour around the GNE fairgrounds, learning about those things, and they also got to purchase some of the food from the food trucks.
Nottawasaga and Creemore Public School has an annual tradition of having a barbecue and meet the teacher night near the beginning of the school year. This year, the day was Thursday, Sept. 29, and the menu was pulled pork on a bun, veggie burgers, and organic ice cream.
Parents also got to talk to their teacher child’s teacher, though the formal student led conferences are taking place Nov. 17-18.
