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 Respect:
In all life, respect is the first and foremost. Respect oneself and respect will be bestowed.

This is Week 1. Today is Thursday, November 2nd.
Will the grade eight members of the female volleyball team please meet in the library on 2nd lunch.

There are 5 garbage cans outside for STUDENTS to dispose of their garbage. Garbage and food waste has become a huge problem around our building: it looks horrible and attracts unwanted pests. Please do a better job of getting your waste into the garbage cans! The garbage cans are located at Falcon 5 - The Grade 6 door; the front entry to the school; the playground Area; the back door and on the soccer field. 5 GARBAGE CANS.  Falcons…let's do better!

Ms Finn and Ms Oldford will be absent for the remainder of the week, returning Tuesday, Nov 7. If you are looking for assistance during this time, but can wait until next week, please put a request slip in one of the boxes and they will get to you as soon as possible. If you need immediate support, please speak with a teacher or administration. Phone numbers for emergency mental health support can also be found on the papers above the black boxes by their offices.

The male and male identifying volleyball team will have a quick 5 minute meeting at the beginning of first lunch in Miss. Thompson’s room, (room 152) and second lunch in Mme. Morrissey’s room, (room 230).

The female volleyball team lost to HTB yesterday. However, they are looking forward to hopefully facing them again in the finals!
