Week at a Glance (Sept 30 - Oct 4)

Terry Fox Planners Extraodinaire!

Thank you to our Terry Fox planning committee. Mrs. Bentley, Mrs. Haraga, Mme Lundgren and Mme Tiphaine worked hard to plan a great event. A big thank you also to all those who came out to cheer on our runners. It was a big success!

Today was also Orange Shirt Day in Elk Island Public Schools. We are grateful for Ms. Carruthers and Ms. Whitney who helped to plan a meaningful activity and display that our students created to honour Orange Shirt Day and National Day for Truth and Reconciliation.
