Parking Lot Reminder
Student safety is our biggest priority, and we are asking parents
to help us out. We have a number of authorized school vehicles, buses, vans
and taxis, that pick students up at the end of the day. As a result, our entire
parking lot is devoted to this purpose at the end of the day. We respectfully
ask parents to say out of the parking lot and bus loop from 3:15 to 3:45 p.m.
Please park your vehicle on the street and walk into the school if needed.
Go Girls
Go Girls began this week. Go Girls is facilitated from Big Brothers Big Sisters. It is to provide girls with information and support to make informed choices about active living, balanced eating and feeling good. The girls will participate in fun, educational games and activities that encouraged relationship- building as well as self- reflection and group discussions.

Camp Muskoka
Our Grade 7 students travelled to beautiful Muskoka to spend
three days at Camp Muskoka. There they worked on team building and personal challenge
skills. The Aerial Park, a ropes and ladder course, was a big hit with the
students. It provided them with the opportunity to challenge themselves
physically and mentally as they worked towards the chance to run zip line.
Thank you to our staff who volunteered their time to make sure our students
were safe.Cross Country
