Annual school pictures week

Next week, we will have our annual class and individual school photos. Please make sure that your children are well-groomed and in full uniform during these days. Look out for your child’s class schedule.

We will take an all-school photo next Thursday at 7:50 AM so please make sure your child is at school on time.

Breast Cancer Awareness Month

Breast Cancer Awareness Month is celebrated every October, providing an opportunity to raise awareness about breast cancer and the importance of early detection and prevention.

Next Wednesday, October 23, all Secondary will have the opportunity to dress in pink to support Breast Cancer Awareness Month. There is also an art contest and other related activities that the Student Council will share more about on Canvas.

LifePlus Quality of the Month:

Courage

Courage is overcoming fear so I can do what is right.

There’s more to learning than gaining knowledge. To bring transformation from the inside out, we stay true to our values and invite our students, families and community to do the same.

This month as we focus on courage:
We will take risks and do what is right even if others do not; we will keep trying even when we are afraid; we will make mistakes and learn from them.

Our inspiration this month is Ms. Jessica Smith from ‘Ride for Unity.’

Save the dates!
