LEADERSHIP
FORT NIGHT at FORT HIGH - April 21
On April 21st students of Fort High will come together to raise money for some of our less fortunate students. The Fort Night for Broken Bees event will see students build various forts in the gymnasium and compete in challenges, games and contests. Students are encouraged to fundraise and get sponsorships from local businesses. Students can then be creative with their fort designs and incorporate the local businesses in their building. Team packages are available in the office and any questions can be directed to Mrs. Villetard at simone.villetard@eips.ca.
ELEMENTARY ENGAGEMENTS
The Leadership class organized a games day at Win Ferguson school today and had a great time playing games with Mrs. Hudson’s grade 1 class. Students participated in bracelet making, puzzles, card games and colouring. We look forward to our next games day at Win Ferguson where the grandparents of the class are also invited to join.
COUNSELLOR CORNER
Our Success Coaches will continue to review and meet with Grade 12 students to ensure graduation requirements have been met and to support grads with post-secondary and financial planning. Grade 12 students are reminded to log-in to their MyPass account to access diploma exam results.
Have a great weekend!
