GENERAL SCHOOL NEWS
The 23rd annual Global Gala is happening this Thursday, November 23rd from 5 - 8:30pm. The event is hosted here at Stelly's and will include a large assorted buffet, lots of musical performances by Stelly's students and special guests, an animal showcase brought by Butterfly Gardens, a large silent auction, and more! All the funds raised will be going towards Global Perspectives 12's humanitarian project in Costa Rica. Tickets are $15 at the door on the night of the event, or can be bought from a Global Perspectives student. Come enjoy this night of fun while making a positive impact on hundreds of people across the world. See you there!
Seeing that the cafeteria will not be offering its usual selection of delicious fare this Friday, we will be having a pizza sale in support of the Sports Performance group! $3/slice and you have a choice of cheese, pepperoni or Hawaiian! Sales will be taking place in the cafeteria at lunch time. There will be no regular cafeteria sales during the morning break & lunch for Friday only.
The Textile Arts program runs a FREE rack of clothing for both the program and for the greater school population. We welcome and accept all donations of clothing and accessories. We are especially in need of denim and wool sweaters which are versatile for repurposing into many different projects. As we also cover mending, repairing and altering, the donated items are often of interest. So please, if you are considering thinning out your closets, consider sending them our way.
There is an Indigenous student lunch with UVIC in the learning commons TODAY. Please come to learn about the amazing opportunities and programs offered at UVIC! We will be serving Subway sandwiches for lunch. Look forward to seeing you all there!
