Thompson Community Centre(TCC) after school Program for grade 6/7 studentsIn 2018, the grade 4/5 participated in TCC after school program. Now, in 2019, it is the grade 6/7’s opportu-nity. The applications for the grade 6/7s have been made available for students who would would like to participate, however we are currently undersubscribed with only 2 applications received so far. If the grade 6/7 numbers remain low, we will open it up to also include grade 4/5s so that this free program can proceed.
