GENERAL SCHOOL NEWS

This PRIDE month, did you know that:

• The Stonewall Riots, also called the Stonewall Uprising, began in the early hours of June 28, 1969, when New York City police raided the Stonewall Inn, a gay club located in Greenwich Village in New York City. The raid sparked a riot among bar patrons and neighbourhood residents as police roughly hauled employees and patrons out of the bar, leading to six days of protests and violent clashes with law enforcement outside the bar on Christopher Street, in neighbouring streets and nearby Christopher Park. The Stonewall Riots catalysed the gay rights movement in the United States and worldwide.

The Stelly’s Senior Drama group is excited to present: Puffs, or Seven Increasingly Eventful Years at a Certain School of Magic and Magic! Running June 5th-7th at 7pm & June 8th at 1pm. Tickets now available at Stelly's front office during school hours, or email abartlett@saanichschools.ca to reserve! Tickets are $10 each. For information on the show, please visit https://sites.google.com/sd63.bc.ca/stellys-performing-arts/home

Come out and join Stelly’s students in the Amphitheatre who will be putting on a concert on Wednesday June 5th during the lunch break. BBQ Burgers, salads & ice cream cones will be sold through the cafeteria (order inside, get a ticket & redeem outside at BBQ). Enjoy your lunch with a Rock concert featuring ‘Tell a Friend’ starting at 11:15am!

Have you checked the lost and found table lately? It’s just outside the Career Centre and things keep piling up! Please have a look and see if you recognize something then take it home. All items left at the end of June will be donated to a local charity.

GRAD 2024

Hello Grads, Grad parents and guardians - the Dry Grad committee has been working hard on organising a fun evening for Stelly's 2024 grads. More information on the evening can be found here: https://stellysdryaftergrad.square.site. The ppt has a lot of excellent information in it. 

Sign ups have already occurred and there have been some times at lunch for grads to pay their $20. Grads can also send an e-transfer (stellysgrad24@gmail.com). Now that information about authorised guests is being sent out, if grads have an authorised guest, payment for their guest to attend Dry Grad must also be completed, please.
