🌍 African Heritage Month Reminder
We are sharing a few more facts this week as we prepare for our African Heritage Month Trivia Contest on Monday, March 9.
Earlier this month, we learned about Wendie Wilson, the creator of the African Nova Scotian flag.
The flag’s colours represent:
• Red — sacrifice
• Gold — cultural richness
• Green — growth and future generations
At the centre is a symbol inspired by Sankofa, reminding us to learn from the past to build a better future.
The flag also includes:
• A wave representing the ocean and ancestors’ journey
• A half heart showing both heartbreak and awareness
• An open circle representing the future and what is still to come
The flag reminds us to honour the past, celebrate the present, and work together to build a strong future.
Listen carefully to the daily facts — you will need them for the trivia contest!

🥧 Pi Day Contest
Do you like pizza? Do you like Pi?
Even though Pi Day falls during March Break this year, our Grade 7 and 8 math teachers are holding a Pi memorization contest next week. Each Grade 7 and 8 homeroom will have one winner. Each winner will receive 2 free Pizza Day lunches — one slice and a juice box for two Thursdays. The student who memorizes the most digits overall will win 4 free Pizza Day lunches. Check with your math teacher to find out when your class competes — and start practicing those digits!
