September 30- October 4

Congratulations to our students who participated in the (very chilly) Run for the Pumpkin!  Even though the weather was not the greatest, the runners had smiles on their faces and gave it their all!  Well done!  Our fall running club is over, but our spring running club will start in April.

We also had our first school wide "exploratory hour" on Friday!  This was a BLAST and the students came back to the classroom very excited about their activity.

Information Items

ORANGE SHIRT DAY

On September 30 we invite students to wear orange shirts in honour of Orange Shirt Day.  Orange Shirt Day is an opportunity for First Nations, schools, and communities to come together in the spirit of reconciliation and hope for generations of children to come.

We also celebrate Orange Shirt day to remember Residential school survivors as well as those that didn't make it home from Residential school. The theme behind Orange Shirt Day is: Every Child Matters.
