Classroom News - Feb. 16

Great job to everyone who participated in Pink Shirt Day - we all STAND UP TO BULLYING!

Telemiracle 46 is taking place on March 5-6, 2022.  We are collecting loonies for "helping hands".  Please consider making a donation anytime before tomorrow (Thursday, Feb. 17).

Yesterday, Keeseekoose First Nation announced the results of their ground-penetrating survey - discovering many "unmarked graves.  GSSD buildings had their flags at half-mast yesterday to mark this event.  As a way of showing our support, we are ALL encouraged to wear ORANGE on Friday, Feb. 18.

With the February Break soon upon us (and, thereafter, the end of February), that also means that our Term 2 Report Cards are coming soon - Friday, March 11 to be exact.  In order to get everything organized before this deadline, I have set the "first Friday after the Feb.
