Wishtree Assembly
On Friday, February 2 we had our whole school book project introduced. As a school we will be reading "Wishtree" by Katherine Applegate. All students were given a copy of the book (donated by WestMET Ag and J. C. Charyk School Council) and a wooden bookmark made in our innovation classroom. Emcees of the event were staff and student alumni Megan Johnson, and students Tenley Warburton and Julia Cavenagh. Several chapters of the book were read by Jim Nill (Dallas Stars GM), Nate Horner (MLA), Chris Byam (Mount Royal and Team Canada volleyball player), and Trevor Thurston (ECHL player for the Orlando Solar Bears). As well, J.C.C. 2024 Grad President, Brooke Galster read the novel's epigraph to start the assembly, and student readers volunteered to read on behalf of WestMET Ag. Cora Olsen attended as the WestMET rep and we were so grateful of their support!
Youth Wellness Event
On Thursday, February 1, the JCC SWAT (Student Wellness Action Team) organized a Youth Wellness Event. The theme of the day was “Yes I Can”. There were special presentations by motivational speaker Chris Koch as well as numerous community organizations. The day wrapped up with a short concert by Garrett Gregory and dance for students. A huge thank you to all students, staff and community volunteers who helped to put this successful event together.
