Cross Country Run
Cross Country Run
Congratulations to this year's cross country run team. The majority of our team was able to attend the Colonial Classic Meet this past Tuesday and we are so proud of each and every member of the team. Four of our runners finished in the top 10 of their heat and came home with a ribbon. Way to go, Stingrays!

On Wednesday, September 21, CES had the good fortune of being able to host Matthew Bendoritz and listen to stories of his cancer journey. At the young age of 9 years old, Matthew was diagnosed with the same type of cancer that Terry Fox had. He was an inspiration to the students and he showed them that even when we experience difficulties, with a positive mindset we can overcome them.

Truth & Reconciliation Week
Truth & Reconciliation Week
Next week is Truth and Reconciliation Week. Your child will be learning about the lasting effects of residential schools and how we can have an active role in reconciliation. Your child will be engaging in learning activities throughout the week and as a school, we will be creating a "Rock Garden of Hope." We are asking each student to bring in a rock that fits in the palm of their hand. We will be painting the rocks and going on a community walk to place them in the Main Street Park. Families who would like to join us for the walk, please be at the school at 1:00 pm on September 29th.
