Grade 9 Leadership

Ms. Shewfelt's grade 9 leadership students did a fantastic job planning and organizing the Terry Fox assembly and run this week. Students worked hard creating bilingual scripts, while researching Terry Fox's legacy. The grade 9's demonstrated excellent leadership skills throughout the assembly and school run- way to go Tigers!

Drama 9- Students worked together to develop trust by being led through the school blindfolded. We had some great conversations around their experience. We also, completed some activities using their other senses.

Leadership 8 & 9 Fedchun- We have been busy! We fund-raised for Hurricane Dorian Relief and raised $291.50.  Students volunteered their time at the Meet the Teacher Night and Healthy Hunger. We are completing tasks around the school, and getting ready to take on the Halloween Festivities. We are planning a dance, haunted house and 'Spooktivies' for Oct 31st.
