February 25: Anti Bullying Day!
Students heard in assembly this week about a boy in a Canadian school who was bullied for wearing a pink shirt to school. Other students noticed and decided to wear pink in solidarity with this boy. This week our Middle School students wore pink shirts to show that we do not support bullying and we look out for others who choose to be unkind to others to help them make better choices.
Middle School Swim Carnival!
We had an amazing time at the pool this week at our swim carnival! The races were fun, the cheering loud and the school spirit was through the roof! We are looking forward to making this carnival an annual event!

January 5 to 9, 2009
This week was a busy one for the Middle School. We endured rain and more rain. One day we were able to watch a movie at lunch in the PAC. Others played basketball, played in the computer labs or read in the library. Scroll down to see grade sixes at work and our basketball players having fun!
We enjoyed the Grade 7/8 honours assembly and we reflected on last term and made goals for this term!
