We would like to begin by acknowledging that we are in Mi’kma’ki, the ancestral and unceded territory of the Mi’kmaq People. This territory is covered by the “Treaties of Peace and Friendship”.

We also acknowledge that people of African ancestry have been in Nova Scotia for over 400 years.

Our Sacred Teaching for today is Truth
“If you cannot find the truth right where you are, where else do you expect to find it?”

This is week 2, today is Wednesday October 11th

Male and male identifying volleyball practice today after school in the gym at 2:50pm. Please let coaches know if you cannot attend.

There will be a meeting tomorrow Thursday, October 12th in Ms. Cochrane’s room at 12 noon for all students that were involved in Aladdin last year. Anyone not one second lunch must ask their teacher before for permission to attend. Any questions? Please come see Ms. Legge in the Learning Centre.

Thank you to all students that tried out for the female/female identifying volleyball team this year. The final team has been chosen and the list will be outside the gym on the bulletin board before lunchtimes today. 1st team practice will be this Thursday from 3-4:30. While there were many players close to making the team, there are unfortunately only 15 places. If you enjoyed it and would like to continue please consider joining a club and/or attending some camps.

A reminder that there is a Leadership meeting today during second lunch in Mrs. Mercer’s room.

A pendant was found in the gym yesterday. If you have lost one, see Ms. Fralick in the library to identify it. There is also a charm bracelet that was passed in which also in the library.

The library will be in use today during the morning, and all day Thursday. Afternoon classes are still welcome today but not Thursday. If any other student needs to change or get a book on those days it can only be when the library is not occupied. Alternatively they are welcome to make use of the hold feature, and the drop off box will remain in place. 

This coming Monday we will be starting a new group called Monday Morning mindfulness. This is an opportunity to meet at the beginning of first period and learn some mindfulness practices to help ease into the week. If you’re interested, see one of the school counsellors for more information.

Have a wonderful Wednesday SHJH!
