Candy Grams are on sale next MONDAY and TUESDAY!  Remember to bring your money!  Purchase candy grams for $0.25 each and have them delivered to your friends (or yourself)!  All proceeds from candy gram sales are being donated to Jeneece Place, a temporary home away from home where children and their families can stay while receiving medical care in Victoria.  Candy grams are being sold on December 8, 9, 16 and 17th.  

Advisory teachers, please share the Candy Gram slide deck with your students so they know what to expect. 

 

Attention ALL students with Indigenous Ancestry.  On MONDAY (Dec 8th) we will be having our Pizza lunch in the Home Ec room, and then you can stay in Blocks 5 & 6 to bake Christmas cookies with Ms Cumming!  We will come around to see if you want to join in so we will be sure to have enough supplies.  Looking forward to it! 🙂
