Today marks the Lunar New Year celebrated by many cultures around the world.
Those celebrants may decorate with bamboo and flowers to bring good luck, fruitfulness, and fertility. They could offer fruit to their ancestors in a family altar. Most often, this will involve spending time with family and friends while eating foods that bring luck and good fortune such as dumplings, tangyuan, fish and spring rolls.
We are wishing all a Happy Lunar New Year!

Good morning, Wildacts!
The weather this morning is not great, and the forecast indicates it may continue to be unfavourable. Buses in ALL ZONES are cancelled today.
Solve the "What's for Dinner?" Dilemma! 🍽️
Let’s be honest—some nights, you just cannot cook. That’s why you need a stash of Little Caesars Pizza Kits in your freezer! It’s the easiest way to handle a busy weeknight while supporting Harwich Raleigh Public School.
It’s a win-win: You get a night off from cooking, and we get closer to our fundraising goal!

Hey Wildcats!
It looks like the winter weather will be here for a bit. This a reminder that if possible, students will be outside for their morning arrival time (9:00-915am) and then two 20 minute breaks throughout the day. Our school yard is expansive and fairly wide open to the elements, especially the wind. Please set your child up for success and comfort by helping them to dress appropriately for the weather. Warm, waterproof gloves or mitts for them to wear are EXTREMELY helpful, in addition to winter boots, hats, scarves, snow pants and wind-proof coats.
We have amazing Educational Assistants who pour their heart and soul and everything they have into their job. We are grateful for the work they do to support our students and our school community.
