GENERAL SCHOOL NEWS
Time is running out to contribute to the Holiday Hampers! We are collecting non-perishable food items for our Holiday Hampers, which support local families in need over the holidays. Please bring your food items to your block 2 class (there will be prizes for the most items collected).
We are also collecting funds and items for emergency kits - these will be included in each hamper given out. Lists of food and emergency kit items can be found in classrooms. Cash donations can be brought directly to the main office. We hope you are able to help us help others!
Holiday Spirit Week is this week! On Wednesday, there will be a Hot Chocolate Station in the main foyer before school (please bring your own mug). Thursday, dig out your “ugly” sweaters and get ready to show them off on Ugly Sweater Day! On Friday, grade 9’s wear green, grade 10’s wear red, grade 11’s wear white and grade 12’s wear blue (of course). Looking forward to all the festivities!
The school cafeteria will be closed this Thursday and Friday in preparation for the Winter Break. We will have pizza sales on Thursday, but no lunch option available on Friday - please come prepared.
Are you in grades 9, 10 or 11 and interested in travelling to The Netherlands, Belgium and France in 2027? The Stelly's Social Studies department will be taking students to explore sites connected to Canadian involvement in the world wars. This will include participation in an anniversary event at the famous Vimy Ridge. Please express interest by scanning the QR code posted around the school or by speaking to Mrs. Wallace or Mr. Loenen. There is also a link to the Expression of Interest form here.
