Meet our Circus Artist In Residence


Flyin' Bob is an internationally renowned 1-man circus performer. He has performed and taught circus arts to kids for more than 20 years.  In a bizarre coincidence, he attended our school when he was in grade two!

Check out his website:  flybob.com   for more about who he is and what he does.  The Circus Camp tab is the most relevant to our project.
