IMPORTANT DATES

We acknowledge that we are in Mi’kma’ki, which is the traditional ancestral territory of the Mi’kmaq people.

MASKS-SANITIZER-SOCIAL DISTANCING - REMINDERS
Just a reminder to students to please remember to wear/bring your (A) school-provided mask or (B) your own mask to school.  Also, (1) when you enter the building to sanitize your hands (2) walking through the halls in single file/social distance and (3) bring your water bottle to school.

SPIRIT WEEK
This week we will be having our first spirit week. All students and staff are encouraged to participate in the different theme days. Today - Monday is Fall Colours day, Tuesday is Spooky Socks day, Wednesday is Pink day to show our awareness for Breast Cancer, Thursday is Pyjama Day and Friday is costume day. When planning your costume for school, please keep in mind masks are required, but the masks cannot be full face masks.

SOCKTOBER
It is officially SOCKTOBER and we are collecting new socks to donate to local shelters. As the weather is starting to turn cooler, the need for socks at shelters rise. Students and staff are encouraged to bring in new socks and put them in the bucket in their homeroom.

LUNCH TIME
Before students are dismissed for lunch, please remove all items off your desks so they can be cleaned during the lunch break.
