As Treaty people, we take this moment to honor the lands of Treaties 4 and 6, and all they have provided to us and our families across many generations. These lands have long served as traditional meeting grounds, gathering places, and traveling routes for the Cree, Dene, Nakota, Dakota, Saulteaux, and Ojibway peoples since time immemorial. We also recognize these lands as the homeland of Métis Nation Eastern Region II.

We honor the ancestors whose footsteps have shaped these lands. We acknowledge that our use of these lands has come at a profound cost, including the impacts of colonialism and the residential school system. With this recognition, we commit to working together toward reconciliation and forging a path forward that honors the past and builds a better future for all.

Can you say threetpete? I know that our Senior Boys Basketball team can, because they are heading BACK TO HOOPLA! Our boys were victorious at Regionals this weekend at PPCS (thank you to everyone who came out and everyone who helped out). They will travel to Hoopla in Saskatoon this coming weekend to once again compete for the Provincial title. We are hoping to add gold to our pair of silvers. Congrats to Coach Bloski and the boys on a great season, and best of luck at Hoopla!

3 way conferences will be March 19 and 20.

Information about signing up for a time slot went out last week.

Attendance is mandatory.

Please contact the school if you have any questions.

As some of our projectors have come to the end of their life, we made the decision to replace them with smart panels rather than new projectors. The price point is about the same, but the smart panels come with many more functions to engage students in learning. They act as giant touch screens that allow multiple touchers at the same time. Our staff and students look forward to using them in their learning.

Miss Whitney

Ms. Whitney has joined forces with Mrs. Brezinski to lead the PPCS curlers this season. Her lively spirit and enthusiasm brighten the players experience and day. We appreciate all the help and time you have given, hopefully we can continue to have you on our team. Thanks again.

Emma Pohl Emma has had a great Feb on the PPCS curling team. She plays as a lead or second who is accepts feedback well and has been a great teammate. Her coaches are impressed with her level of improvement and her dedication to the game on her own time. You rock Emma, keep up the good work.

JR Antazo JR Antazo is a solid pick for this months Athlete. JR is a top performer on O and D with the Sr. Boys and can be found pushing himself and his teammates to do better. He is the fastest player end to end as he passes by opponents who are also astonished by how hard he goes. JR is in his last year with us and we thank him for his time, skill, leadership and would like nothing more than to see him go out on top. Good luck in the playoffs JR.

Bears Athletics is looking for coaches for the upcoming school year, mainly Sr. Boys Basketball, Track and Field. and an assistant for Girls Volleyball but if you are interested in others let us know. Please contact Mr. Bloski for details.

We have had a significant punch card update.

In the past, as we got new accounts we simply added them to the bottom of the list so that our families would not have to relearn their place in the list of accounts. That has become very difficulty to manage. As a result, we have alphabetized the list on our end and updated account numbers to reflect your child's current grade followed by the last 4 digits of your phone number (i.e. 113213, grade 11 phone number ends in 3213).

Punch cards have been updated to the most recent values heading into semester 2. Please let us know if there is an error.
