GENERAL SCHOOL NEWS
Each colour on the six-colour #Pride flag has its own meaning; red symbolizes life, orange means healing, yellow stands for sunshine, green means nature, blue symbolizes harmony, and purple represents spirit
Happy Rainbow Day, Stelly’s! Join us for a bake sale and celebration in the main foyer at lunch!
Attention Stingers - All library and text books are now overdue. Please return any that you find asap!
Congratulations to the Stelly’s Senior Drama students (cast and crew) on 4 amazing shows of ‘THE CHOSEN ONE(s)’ last week! The production was so well done and you all did such an amazing job - well done!
Do you have an IOU with the cafeteria? Please pay it off today.
It is that time of year where we ask you all to clean out your lockers and remove your locks (for grades 9-11, please bring them back in September). Make sure all of your personal items are taken home as the lockers will be cleaned over the summer break. Also, please check the lost and found for anything that might be yours (hoody, lunch kit, containers, water bottles, you name it, it’s in there). Items left behind will be donated on June 26th!
Fish Foster or Adopter wanted: Do you like cool fish? We are looking for someone who would like to adopt some fish for the summer. These are really cool, beautiful, charismatic and some rare fish. They are really fun to take care of! Food & tanks provided. See Mr. Siebert in room 40 for details.
Stingers, we still have over 100 yearbooks that weren’t picked up on Friday. If you are wondering whether you bought one, please check in at the main office and we will let you know. At this time, there are no additional books for sale. Congratulations to the Yearbook team who made the book this year - it looks amazing!
Invitations to the Stinger Summit Leadership Retreat in September have now been sent out by email, so check your school email! If you did not receive one but would like to be involved, please talk to Mr. McDonald.
The last day for cafeteria service is today - the cafeteria will be closed during Copernican days, so please bring any snacks and lunch you may need.
