Hey Friends
We have to be under the snow blanket a little longer. ❄️ 🌨️ Usually we prepare on Sunday to welcome you all back on Monday. That didn't happen due to the weather, so we're pushing it back for the day today, like many other business and institutions . Enjoy your snow day Brock students and others; and please be safe when travelling. Take care of each other.

Hey. School might be closed today, but we aren't! As long as the roads are passable we'll be here to put the coffee on! Getting out into the winter is the best way to make the best of it. (Safely of course)
