Good afternoon everyone,

I hope this message finds you all doing well. To those of you who just finished celebrating the month of Ramadan, Eid Mubarak!

Next week we are preparing to invite Fit Set Ninja to work with all of our students in grades 6-9. This is the first time we have had the team in, and we are hoping the experience is a positive and enjoyable one for our students.

Tuesday is our next School Council meeting; it is also a special meeting (please see below) to address bylaw changes. The meeting is at 6:30PM and is virtual. Please use the following link to join:Click here to join the meeting

Please note that next Friday, April 19, 2024 is a system professional learning day for staff and students will not have classes. Wishing you all a great weekend, and please reach out if there’s anything I can support you with.

Sincerely,

Nancy Lisi, Principal
