June is Pride Month and the start of the Pride season in Canada. This is a time dedicated to celebrating the LGBTQ2S+ communities, advocating for equal rights, and fostering a world where everyone can embrace their true selves without fear, violence or discrimination.
Pride Month commemorates the Stonewall riots of June 1969, which marked a pivotal moment in the fight for LGTBQ2S+ rights in North America.

This week we recognize the history of the Environment, traditional knowledge and territory.
Indigenous communities across Canada have long observed and responded to changes in the environment. Their deep connection to the land has made them among the first to notice the effects of climate change. By combining traditional knowledge with modern science, Indigenous people offer valuable insights into caring for our planet. Learning from Indigenous perspectives helps us all understand the importance of respecting nature and working together to protect our shared home.

We’re aiming to raise $1000 as a school, and every little bit helps — even a toonie can make a difference! Donations will be collected using envelopes provided to your teacher.
🎉 If we hit our goal, you’ll get to see Mr. Smythe, Ms. Lisa, and Ms. McKean get soaked with ice water — right on the field!
