Some grade 10 students are researching the effects of deforestation on our planet. They are hoping to raise awareness of this issue through presentations at both schools as well encouraging a paperless day on Wed. Nov. 7. If you would like to learn more please call the school.

We have about a month left in sixer volleyball season. Our varsity and JV teams have been doing well in weekend tournaments.

Both teams will be playing in Brandon this coming weekend. Currently the boys are ranked 10th at the AAA Level. Come out and watch some of your middle years teams play. Only another 2 weeks for them.
