Our Dragons came through in a big way with our most recent canned food drive in support of the Petrolia Community Refrigerator.

Today, our school had the incredible opportunity to welcome an NHL draft prospect for a special visit! Students were inspired as Jack Nesbitt shared his journey—from hard work and dedication on the ice to the importance of staying focused in school and never giving up on your dreams.
We wish him the best of luck as he heads to Los Angeles next week for the NHL Draft! 🎉
What a beauty of a day for Play Day. Merci à Mme DeGroot pour avoir organisé.

⚽️ ⚽️What a day it was for the intermediate soccer tournament! The sun was shining and so were our teams. Both made it all the way to the finals where the girls played hard but came up short against Queen Elizabeth. The boys kept everyone on the edge of their seat and pulled off a victory in a shoot-out against Centennial. Congratulations to all players et un gros merci à M. Kennefick et M. Woltz pour l'entraînement. 🏆🎉
Come on, Dragons - let's show our support for those in need.

Real-life word problems provide context, purpose, and meaning to multiplication and division, helping students understand why and how these operations work—not just how to compute them. Mme Olah has been working closely with classes to strengthen our multiplicative reasoning.
