Dear Bulldog families,

Thank you to many of you who attended last night’s Welcoming PAC meeting.  It was wonderful to meet you all and to begin working with you on so many amazing events this school year.  We invite you to contribute to the PAC events in any way you can this year. 

We are also glad for many of you who attended this morning’s Orange Shirt Day assembly.  It was a special commemoration of the terrible things that happened in Canada’s residential schools as well as a call to action on a new path of Reconciliation for each one of us and our country.  Thank you to Divisions 6, 7, 8, and 9 for the powerful presentation of the 300 Sleeps poem, to Division 8 for the Indigenous Acknowledgement and to Mr. Seebach for teaching us the many Cree words from the story Stolen Words. Please, note that Monday, October 2nd is the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation the school is closed. 

Please, see the attached Bulldog Bulletin, October calendar and  Cross-Country Fun Run at Garry Point permission form.
