Our annual Literacy Week Celebration is all set for next week, just ahead of Spring Break!

Teachers have created many fun, literacy-based activities for our students and we will kick the week off with an assembly for our school community with a read-aloud in the gym.

Plans include a ‘Poetry Mash,’ a PJ and flashlight read in the gym on Wednesday, and a Fairy Tale whole-school quiz on Friday.

There are also family literacy events that will begin Monday so please stay tuned for more information.

As you can see, it’s going to be a fun-filled week so a big thanks to our Literacy Planning Team who have done a wonderful job coordinating this even 🙂

Thanks to our peer helpers for promoting the annual Anti-Bullying Pink Day.

“David Shepherd, Travis Price and their teenage friends organized a high-school protest to wear pink in sympathy with a Grade 9 boy who was being bullied [for wearing a pink shirt]…[They] took a stand against bullying when they protested against the harassment of a new Grade 9 student by distributing pink T-shirts to all the boys in their school. ‘I learned that two people can come up with an idea, run with it, and it can do wonders,’ says Mr. Price, 17, who organized the pink protest. ‘Finally, someone stood up for a weaker kid.’ So Mr. Shepherd and some others headed off to a discount store and bought 50 pink tank tops. They sent out message to schoolmates that night, and the next morning they hauled the shirts to school in a plastic bag. As they stood in the foyer handing out the shirts, the bullied boy walked in. His face spoke volumes. ‘It looked like a huge weight was lifted off his shoulders,’ Mr. Price recalled. The bullies were never heard from again.”
