Winter Wear Yellow Day
2020-02-05 09:00 - 14:30
Walk, wheel, wear yellow.
Wednesday February 5, 2020 is Winter Wear Yellow Day in Hamilton.
On Winter Wear Yellow Day, students and staff are encouraged to bundle up, wear yellow and enjoy a refreshing walk or wheel to and from school.
Walking or wheeling to and from school not only improves physical and mental health, but contributes to a healthier environment and safer streets. Walking is the simplest form of exercise and helps us get the 60 minutes of daily physical activity we need. It’s also a great cure for the winter blue and helps us concentrate better in class!

Pink Shirt Day
2020-02-26 09:00 - 15:00
Today is Pink Shirt Day ….a day to stand up against bullying in the HWDSB.
The focus for Pink Shirt Day 2020 is “lift each other up; a simple but powerful message encouraging us to look beyond our differences and celebrate the things that make us unique. When we lift each other up, we see past the things that separate us and see instead the things that unite us as people.” (www.pinktshirtday.ca)

Lockdown drill
2020-12-08
Dear families,
Today our school will be holding a secure school protocol lockdown drill, so that staff and students are prepared in case of an emergency.
The drill may involve a visit by members of the Hamilton Police Service. We appreciate the co-operation of our students and staff during the drill.
It is also important that we all remain aware of the secure schools terminology used in all of Ontario’s publicly funded schools.
You can learn more about HWDSB’s approach to secure schools at https://hwdsb.info/secureschools and by reviewing the included document.

Thank you,
Ms. E. Jones
Principal
