Highlights from this morning’s announcements:

Read first: “I would like to acknowledge that this school is situated upon traditional territories. The territories include the Wendat, Anishinabek Nation, the Haudenosaunee Confederacy, the Mississaugas of Scugog, Hiawatha, Alderville First Nation and the Métis Nation. The treaty that was signed for this particular parcel of land is collectively referred to as the Williams Treaties of 1923 and applies to lands east of Woodbine Avenue. I also recognize the enduring presence of Aboriginal peoples on this land.”

• A message from the Eco Club: It’s another cold day outside, but it’s also beautiful! Did you know you will be much warmer if your boots and clothing are nice and dry? At the end of each day, make sure to hang up damp mittens and put your boots where they can dry. Then you’ll be  ready for more fun outside the next day!
