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.
Did you know that Nova Scotia is considered the birthplace of Black history in Canada? Nova Scotia is home to 52 historic Black communities, including North Preston, Beechville, Whitney Pier, and Shelburne, among many others. There are several museums in our province dedicated to promoting the history and culture of African Nova Scotians. You can explore the rich legacy built over the past 400 years at the Africville Museum in Halifax, the Black Cultural Centre for Nova Scotia in Cherrybrook, and the Black Loyalist Heritage Centre in Shelburne.
Check out these museum websites online to discover more about Black history in Nova Scotia.
Remember to listen carefully to the daily facts. You will need them for our trivia challenge at the end of the month.
GAGA Ball Pit
The GAGA Ball pit is closed for the winter. Students are not allowed in the pit until the snow is gone and it reopens in the spring.
Basketball Jersey Reminder
All Boys and Girls Basketball players must hand in their jerseys to Mr. Hulshof by next Wednesday.
Spirit Week Next Week
Spirit Week is coming up next week. Show your LT spirit by participating each day.
Do not forget to wear your school colours — blue, yellow, or white — for Mascot Monday.
