Stelly’s Leadership and Global Perspectives classes are organizing a community food drive called Fill the Hive on Wednesday April 24th from 4-8pm. This is the 8th year this event is running. Volunteers are needed to go door-to-door to collect donations for the food bank. Food and cash donations go to the Saanich Peninsula Food Bank. We usually have more than 100 students, staff and community volunteers and collect over 10,000 items. Please sign up with the Google Form here: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSeKyOcGCN1W4cPHTupn3C5I7lWAYx6wqZtcSaKFbCveCf8Iww/viewform?usp=sf_link

You may now call in to 250-652-4401 and select option #1 to report any student absences (illness, vacation, appointments, etc), late or early pickups. Our previous attendance line (250-544-0300) will be disconnected at the end of June. Our email attendance contact remains the same (stellys_attendance@saanichschools.ca).
