  • There will be a baseball practice on Monday at Graves Oakley Field. All members of the baseball team including affiliate players are expected to be at practice on Monday.
  • Kwe'. The Mi'kmaq word for the week is: "Weli eksitpu'k"(pronounced: wellee eck zick boog) and it means "Good morning"
  • Friday is Orange Shirt Day and Saturday is Truth and Reconciliation Day. These days are more than just an excuse to have a day off from school on Monday. We acknowledge these days as a means of raising awareness of the atrocities and genocide that occurred at Canada's residential schools. We acknowledge that no school should have survivors; schools should have students. We acknowledge that no school should have a burial ground; they should have a playground. And we acknowledge that we are all equal. We wear orange to honour all those who survived residential schools and in memory of those children who didn't. There are Orange shirts available for purchase at $15 each, please see Ms. Tish in room 331. On Friday, there will be orange ribbons available for everyone as well.
