Highlights of the Week: Sept. 26 - October 2

THANK YOU

to Mrs. Choboter and the Grade 7 class for planning and presenting the Tuesday assembly about Terry Fox, helping us all to understand more about this man and his cause, and why we continue to run each year
to Miss Gillespie and her team of staff members for organizing and assisting as the actual run on Thursday - what a great community event! It sparked conversation among staff that we need to do more of these runs for fun through the year - it was great to see the interaction between different classes!
to those who came out to the Hot Lunch meeting on Wednesday evening - it was so wonderful to see new faces meeting together! We will have details about the revamped hot lunch program very soon!
