- Did you know that Monday May 15th is Black Excellence Day? Wear black on Monday and together, let us recognize the past, present and ongoing achievements, stories, art and innovations of people of African descent. As an opening for Black Excellence Day, today the Maritime Center for African Dance will be present to teach, share and promote African Culture through the art of dance. Did you know that to date, the Maritime Center for African Dance has taught well over 600,000 children and adults in schools, community centres, camps and programs? This organization was formed out of a necessity for lack of cultural representation in the form of traditional dance in Canada and is a collective of different individuals from Africa who have are trained in traditional dance and ranges from the South, North, West and East of Africa.
- Our last dance of the year is on Thursday May 18th from 7-10. It is beach themed. However no real beach will be present so no sand or bikinis please.

It is sure to be the best school event to date. Tickets will be on sale in the Cafeteria everyday at lunch from Monday the 15th to Thursday the 18th.
