• Curriculum Night Event 2019- Once again on Curriculum Night, we will sell glow necklaces for $2.  As you heard at the school assembly, we are looking to change things up this year!  So, we encourage you to bring a flashlight and wear a bright coloured shirt to help light up the night to support the fight against cancer!  We are selling the rest of the glow necklaces we currently have and will no longer sell them after this event, as we work towards lessening our negative impact on the environment.  The sale of glow necklaces will take place right after school that day, and if there are any left, we will sell them at night!  See you September 12th.  Please take part in this important event and bring the whole family!  We will meet outside in the backyard of the school, immediately following Curriculum night.  Proceeds will go to the Terry Fox Foundation.  Let’s work on beating our goal of $5000!
