From the Nest

Hawks,

At this point all of you should have received information to your email regarding strike action coming on Monday. I know that this change at our school likely creates a variety of emotions. At a school level I can tell you that we are sad that a part of our family will not be with us for a time. We also recognize that they are away for an important reason. While they are away, we will do our best, but we do very much look forward to their return. In the meantime, there will be times that we will be asking for some grace as we work out functioning without some important members of our team. Knowing the heart of this community, I have not doubt we will be able to work together.

On another note, last week we welcomed Ahmad Jabbir to help us better understand Proactive Mental Health as part of our Wellness week. Ahmad spoke to the school as well as to parents in the evening. This week we will finish up the week recognizing academics as we bring the school together to present Honours and Honours with Distinction awards. You are welcome to join us! In the meantime, enjoy your weekend and the warm weather! I know I will be!

Respectfully,

Justin Klaassen

Time for some library housecleaning. We are half way into month 2 of the second semester. Notices for over due books are being delivered to students who have not returned their books from the first semester. If you know of any text books that should be returned, please have your child return them. Fees will be added to powerschool on February 28th. Thank you for your understanding.
