Daily Announcements
African Heritage Month
February is African Heritage Month, a time to learn, reflect, and celebrate the history, culture, achievements, and contributions of African Nova Scotians and people of African descent.
Today we recognize Dr. Carrie Best, a civil rights advocate and the first Black woman to publish and own a newspaper in Nova Scotia. As a journalist and publisher, she used her platform to advocate for the rights of Black Canadians and supported Viola Desmond’s case against the Roseland Theatre. She stood up for human rights and spoke out whenever she witnessed injustice, and she received many honours, including the Order of Nova Scotia.
Remember to listen carefully to the daily facts. You will need them for our trivia challenge at the end of the month.
School Dance Tonight
Our school dance is happening tonight from 6:30 to 8:00 pm in the Leslie Thomas gymnasium. There will be a live DJ, light show, and canteen with snacks and drinks. Tickets are $8 per person, and school rules are in effect. Please remember that outerwear, backpacks, and cell phones will be checked at the door. We cannot wait to see you there for a fun night.
GAGA Ball Pit Closed
The GAGA Ball pit is now closed for the winter. Students are not allowed in the pit until the snow is gone and it reopens in the spring.
Pizza Thursday
If you did not pre-pay, bring $5 cash for a slice of pepperoni pizza and water. Pizza will be served in the gymnasium today. Grade 6 students will be called down first and will enter and exit the gym by Mr. Hulshof’s office.
