Sackville Heights Junior High

January 16th, 2024

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 Humility:
In life we need to understand humility. Humility is the factor, which allows us to ask humbly for guidance.

This is Week 1 Today is Tuesday, January 16th.


The first dance practice for the dance club will be this Thursday, January 18th from 2:50 pm-4:00 pm in the cafeteria. Please make sure to bring clothes and shoes that you can move around in. Whether you're a seasoned dancer or just starting out, Dance Club is the place to be!

Ms. Fisher and Mr. DeMone will be stationed in the front lobby from 8:30am - 8:45am each day this week to collect ski trip forms.  Be sure you have all the necessary forms and all are filled out properly.  Please do not drop them off during class time as they will not be accepted.  For those who didn't receive forms, we will let you know when more will be available.  

The GSA meets today at lunch. The first lunch GSA meets in room 146 (Ms. Little's room) and second lunch GSA is in room 208 (Mr. Holley’s room). New members are always welcome!
Thanks to everyone who auditioned for our Dessert Theatre. We will be posting some small group call backs so we can see how people sing together. Not everyone will need to come but everyone who auditioned will be in the show. The list for the call backs will be posted by end of day Thursday. If your name is not on the list, it means we already know where we will place you. Call backs will be on Monday, January 22 from 2:45-4 in the cafeteria.
