This week our school will have the opportunity to gather virtually to celebrate Black Heritage Month led by our Gr. 4 class. This will provide our students an opportunity to further their learning of the contributions of Black Canadians both past and present. This virtual presentation will continue to build on the shared learning that we have done daily in February and will continue to do so as a school going forward.
We also look forward to D.O. Gibson’s presentation to our students and staff on March 4, 2022. His presentation will be the second part to the conference that our school was part of on February 8, 2022.
Intermediate Divisional News
Tuesday all of the Grade 8’s will be participating in reenactments of some of the battles they learned about in Grade 7 (Battle of York, Plains of Abraham, Battle of Chateauguay). They will extend their understanding of these pivotal moments in Canadian history and consider the roles of First Nations, the British and French in these battles.
