Wildcat Wednesdays
With the recent addition of "Wildcat Wednesday", we have had some inquiries about how to obtain school spiritwear. By placing online
orders directly through the link provided, families can order spiritwear and have it sent directly to their homes.

When a Grade 2 makes this proposal, there is no reason not to follow through. So, from now on, each Wednesday will be known as Wildcat Wednesday and we are encouraging all students, staff and family members to proudly wear their Wildcat spirit wear!
Thanks for the great idea, R.T.!
The start of a new month, one that we hope brings some sunshine, warmer temperatures and perhaps a pot of gold at the end of the rainbow! 🌈
There was no fun and games at school today, that's for sure!!! 😂 Today, during our ROARS assembly, recent student fundraising efforts were recognized. Our students, with the help of their families, sold over $17,000 worth of pizza kits and cookie dough. 🥳 The class with top combined sales won a pizza party. 🍕The three individual fund raisers go the chance to throw a whip cream pie in the principal's face! 🥧Check out how that went down! Our top student fundraiser brought in over $850 worth of sales! 💵🤯

Rare Disease Day is a quadrennial event, happening on February 29th (when it is a leap year) or otherwise on February 28th. Seeing that February 28th is a Saturday this year, we are encouraging students, staff and community members to wear their blue to show their support for rare diseases. There are nationwide events focused on awareness, equity in care, and lighting up landmarks such as the CN Tower (#LightUpForRare).
👚Tomorrow, Wednesday, February 25th, is Pink Shirt Day. 👚
Beginning in 2007 at a high school in Berwick, Nova Scotia, Pink Shirt Day first occurred. Two students noticed that their fellow student was being bullied for wearing a pink shirt, and wondered how they could support them. They decided to stand in solidarity with the student and to stand up to the bullies by wearing pink shirts. Since then, the last Wednesday in February is known annually as Pink Shirt Day!
We hope to see as many people as possible showing that they support this movement by wearing their pink shirts tomorrow!

I feel like a broken record, two times in just three days, but again this morning, buses are cancelled due to fog. Buses will bring students home from school this afternoon if they are able to get to school safely.
Travel safely, Wildcats!
Today is Ash Wednesday.
Ash Wednesday marks the start of Lent, a 40-day, solemn period of prayer, fasting, and repentance for Christians preparing for Easter. Observed 46 days before Easter (6.5 weeks), it is characterized by church services where worshippers receive ashes on their foreheads in a cross shape, symbolizing mortality and sorrow for sins.
For those who celebrate and recognize Ash Wednesday, we recognize the significance of today.

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!
