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.

As semester 1 nears its end, I wanted to send a shout out to my Bear Bites crew. Year upon year the students who take on this job never cease to amaze me. Every group seems to start where the last left off and makes the program better. From the early days of making meals and selling until we ran out we have come along way. Some of the student initiatives have included the order board which allows us to track the orders in real time, the punch cards which eventually morphed into digital punch cards, and and ever expanding litany of culinary equipment. This group was no exception. They started on the run and have not slowed down. This years claim to fame has been taking full advantage of our new storage equipment and coolers in that they have made most of their meals from scratch, with lots of complex meals including meat loafs, noodle bowls, hand made dumpling, and yet to come beef dips and lasagna. They have not shied away from complex meals. Consistently they have put out high quality meals within the allotted 62 minutes and turned a profit at the same time. I will miss their commitment to excellence and willingness to try new and difficult things. Thank you Kruze, Cruz, Max, Zack, Logan, Lane, Jax, Jett, Archer, and Carter. Your contribution to the program has been amazing. I am sure that your last few meals will be just as delicious as the rest.

Jaxon Holinaty

Jaxon has been coming out to volunteer to work at the table for basketball games. He does a great job following and understanding the game. He takes his role serious and is always on the ball with what he has to do. We enjoy having him help out and hope he continues to volunteer in his future. Thanks a bunch Jaxon.

Earl Santiago December’s tip of the hat goes to Earl Santiago. Earl has been clutch in the dying moments of close games by delivering dagger threes to seal the win. Perhaps his best feature is still his defensive hustle and annoyance of his opponent or anyone who rooms with him. We are excited to see what more he will bring to the team this season. Way to go Earl.

Amitiel Samalla had a great December leading her team through the first weeks of the season. Her speed , agility and pressure can cause issues for her opponent. Amitiel’s attitude and work ethic demonstrate just how much she loves the game. Great job Amitiel and good luck with the rest of your year.

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.

Please note, as we get used to this new system, please be aware that punch card balances may be up to 1 week behind.

You can click the button below to check on how much your child has left on his/her punch card. To help support privacy, we have developed account numbers for each student. The account number is their grade followed by the last 4 digits of the phone number we have on file. For example, my son Noah is in grade 5. His account number would be 059017.

Once you click the link below and find your child's account number, you will see a number to the left of their account number (i.e. 17). That number will not change, so you only have to remember that number going forward.

We hope that this will help our families.
