Profession Day - Nov 25

We have a professional-development day tomorrow, Friday, November 25.

Please be reminded that tomorrow is a Day 1, not a Day 0. What that means is, when you return to school next Monday, November 28, it will be a Day 2.

Thanks, and have a restful and rewarding weekend - with term 1 winding down, it's your last opportunity to get caught up!

Volunteering Opportunity at Hastings Elementary

Hastings Elementary is looking for responsible students in grades 10 to 12 to assist in their Christmas dinner on December 1 (Thursday) from 6:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. Dinner will be provided - your main job would be to assist the clean-up process following dinner.

If you are interested, there is a sign-up form taped to the entrance of the counselling area. A brief meeting will take place after school Monday, November 28, in the office conference room for all candidates. For more information, please contact the community school office, or speak to me or any counsellor.
