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.”

1. From Ms. Kopka: A big thank you to all students, parents and staff for supporting our Beguiling book fair. It was a great success and our library gained a number of new graphic novels for all ages. They will become a part of our collection in September. Happy reading everyone!

As you know, Family Fest takes an army of volunteers to make it a success. If you can volunteer even a small amount of time, that would be great!
