Last week students began to settle into their assigned classes. Some things that happened last week:
We had lots of Grade 6/7 students come out for volleyball so we will be running three teams this fall. Several of our classes also had a Bear Aware presentation that was given by Dan Mikolay , a WildSafeBC Community Coordinator and Ms. Mountfort has started Bookfest for students in Grades 4-7.

Simply Foods Tuesday/Thursday Lunch Program
We apologize for the confusion that is occurring with the Simply Lunch online ordering. The company was hoping to open registrations on Friday but this did not occur until this am. We have since noticed that the divisions and teachers are incorrect. We have been in contact with them and hope to have this all corrected by the end of the day.
