Remembrance Day Assembly
Today, our school gathered for a special Remembrance Day assembly. It was a meaningful time for us to honour and remember those who have served - and continue to serve - our country in times of war, conflict, and peace.
A big thank you to our Grade 6 students and teachers for leading the assembly with care and respect. Your words and leadership helped everyone understand why this day matters.
We also want to thank Ms. Whitehead and the Division II Choir for their beautiful performance of "One Tin Soldier." The song added something very special to the ceremony and touched everyone in the room.
Thank you to all who helped make this a thoughtful and respectful event.
Fall Break – Nov. 8-12
Just a reminder that Fall Break runs from Saturday, November 8 to Wednesday, November 12. Classes will resume on Thursday, November 13. We hope everyone enjoys a safe and relaxing break!
