We are expecting our playground to be ready for our students to use this Monday! Construction should be completed this weekend where gravel and final touches are being completed. There will be a recess/lunch schedule shared with students Monday morning to ensure all students have the opportunity to use.

To keep our staff and students as safe as possible, we have now completed the required 3 Fall fire drills and 1 Shelter-In Place drill.

Our final emergency drill of the Fall will be a Lockdown drill where we will have CPS support. This drill will take place on Wed. October 26th at approximately 9:15 am.

Six students ranging from grades 9-11 participated in the virtual Canadian Student Leadership Conference (CSLC) from Oct. 6-8. Throughout each day they listened to keynote speakers ranging from Catriona Le May Doan, a Canadian Olympian, to the son and granddaughter of Honorable Murray Sinclair. They took part in workshops on using social media to enhance student life at a school, job prep, scholarships and more. They also had the opportunity to meet other Canadian students in their designated spirit groups and to do team building activities as a group of six. These three days generated a spark in each of these students. In November they will be running a 20k sock drive to help out in the community.

Thank you to all of the students that donated money and purchased ice cream sundaes after the Terry Fox School Run .Our donation to The Terry Fox Foundation was $904.78 .

Also, a special thanks to those families that donated $410.00 online.

Please consider helping our school out; any financial support is appreciated! Please see the attached letter.
