Dear Parents & Guardians,

Here are a few more updates of current events taking place at school this week:

1) The SJAM band will perform in our gym on Wednesday afternoon from 1-1:45/2:00.

This is part of the grade 6 transitions. Your child will choose their options for grade 7 earlier that day when SJAM's resource teachers are coming to visit our class.

2) This week is Mental Health Week in Canada.

To show your support we encourage everyone to wear a hat, toque or cappy to school tomorrow.

3) Lastly, on Thursday is

The National Day for Awareness of Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women and Girls and Gender Diverse People

We encourage everyone to wear something red to school to show your support and empathy.
