This Friday, students and staff are asked to wear blue and/or yellow to show our support for Ukraine. We ask that students and staff bring in a small monetary donation. All donations through the Red Cross are being matched by the Canadian Government up to a maximum of $10 million.

Let’s come together and show our support!

Students, staff, and parents – use the Virtual Kindness Wall to anonymously submit positive messages about one another!

The Kindness Wall is hosted by YouUplift, which is an anonymous, cloud based messaging platform for students, staff, and parents that ONLY displays what the moderators APPROVE!
