Wednesday Woof from South

  We are immensely proud of our 7th grade English teacher, Mrs. Christine Norris, who was honored last night at the Norfolk County Teachers' Association annual awards ceremony.

She is the type of person who, if she’s going to do something, she’s going to take the time to do it right.
