The Band and Choir uniform sale will be held in the cafeteria on Wednesday, Sept. 8 and Thursday, Sept. 9. The sale starts both days at 3:00 pm but will end at 7:00 pm Wednesday and 6:00 pm on Thursday. If possible please arrive 15-20 minutes before closing time to ensure proper fitting.

If you're unable to attend the sale you are welcome to send a cheque with your child. There will be volunteers who will be able to help them find the right sizes.

USED UNIFORMS - If you're selling used uniform it should arrive in good condition already washed. Please label the clothing with the date, your name and address including postal code so we can ensure proper payment to you. Please use safety pins to attach your labels as we will not be able to match loose labels to clothing. Each piece must be separately tagged. Only TOP MARKS brand pants and vests will be accepted.

Used uniform pieces ready for selling can be left in the main office by Wednesday 12:00 pm.

Grade 7 Band students are asked to go to the Band room from 3:45 and 5:30 pm on either September 8th or 9th to choose their instruments. Parents are encouraged to be part of this decision.

Lifetouch Canada will be coming on Thursday, September 9th to take pictures of students. Order forms have been sent home in the packages your received last week. If you wish to purchase a package from Lifetouch, please make cheques payable to Lifetouch Canada and send it along with the order form. All payments must be made directly to the photographer.

If you are not purchasing a package, we ask that all students still get their picture taken for their student cards and for the yearbook.

On Wednesday, September 22nd our senior students will rule the school! The focus of Senior Day is to work at integrating new and returning students within our Grade 10 to Grade 12 classes. Our Senior Council has planned activities that focus on getting to know our new local students, German exchange students and our international students. We look forward to a day of fun and community building. **PLEASE NOTE: GRADE 7, 8 AND 9 STUDENTS HAVE NO SCHOOL ON THIS DAY.**
