We acknowledge that we are in Mi’kma’ki, which is the traditional ancestral territory of the Mi’kmaq people.

Today is Marin Luther King Jr. Day in the United States. Martin Luther King Jr. was a social activist and Baptist minister who played a key role in the American civil rights movement from the mid-1950s until his assassination in 1968. King sought equality and human rights for African Americans, the economically disadvantaged and all victims of injustice through peaceful protest. He received the Noble Peace Prize when he was 35 years old.

SOAR tickets - Students who are working hard to achieve their personal best in respecting and caring for Self, Others, Academics, and Responsible behaviour, may receive a SOAR ticket from any staff member.  Make sure your name is on the ticket with your homeroom number and a brief explanation as to why you were given the ticket. Drop it in the blue SOAR box at the main office.  At the end of each week, there will be a draw for individual student SOAR rewards.
