GENERAL SCHOOL NEWS
Welcome back students and staff! We hope you have all enjoyed a relaxing break and are ready to head into the last 3 months of school!
GSA students are invited to meet in room 48 at lunch today.
On April 16th, Stelly’s will be hosting our annual “Fill the Hive Food Drive.” This is a food drive for our community, where we collect non-perishable food items and/or monetary donations from houses around the Brentwood Bay, Keating, and Saanichton area. All of the donations and proceeds go to the Saanich Peninsula Lions Food Bank which distributes more than $410,000 in food each year. We will be distributing leaflets to houses in the Brentwood Bay, Keating, and Saanichton areas about a week before the date of the food drive, in order to give households advance notice of our collection date. If your home doesn't receive a leaflet, don't worry! There will be donation drop-off locations from 4-6pm on April 16th, at Brentwood Elementary, Keating Elementary, and the Central Saanich Municipal Hall. There will also be a drop-off location at Stelly’s Secondary for donations any time between 4-7pm. If your home does receive a leaflet, this means that Stelly’s students will be coming by your house on Wednesday, April 16th to collect non-perishable food or monetary donations for this food drive. Please leave any donations on your front steps in the bags provided by 4pm, or at the drop off locations.

GRAD 2025
Calling any Grad 2026 parents! Yes, you read that right! The 2025 Parent Grad Committee would like to know if any parents of students graduating in 2026 are interested in joining us on June 26th to participate in setting up and supervising the After Grad event at UVic. This would be an opportunity to see how the evening runs and acquire information for the 2026 After Grad event. If this is something you may be interested in, please email stellysdrygrad@gmail.com and let us know!
SCRAP METAL RECYCLING: There’s a large blue metal recycling bin in the upper parking lot by the street that is awaiting your scrap metal donations. If you have any metal stuff at home, in your yard or in the shed that you want to get rid of, it’s accessible 24/7 for drop-off and proceeds go towards the 2025 Stelly’s Dry Grad!
