Fair Jingle winners
are Ozkar Bagnald,

Attention Parents/Guardians
The trending Netflix series "13 Reasons
Why" is raising concerns from suicide
prevention experts about potential risks
posed by the sensationalized treatment of
youth suicide. This series is very graphic
and is not recommended for young audiences. We recommend that you monitor
what your children are watching on Netflix and have a conversation with them
about this series if you feel this could be a
concern for your child.
Cross Country Team 2017
Our appreciation
goes out to CKBW
for donating air time,
and Dee, for organizing this traditional
event.
Special Olympics Presentation
The Special Olympics and Michelin presented to our school
this week. We learned about their organization and the athletes who participate in many different sports. The athletes
demonstrate grit and determination to always try their best.
The Cross Country Team competed in
their first meet of the season at Hebbville
Academy this week.
All runners did exceptionally well. There
were over 500 runners from all across the
school board competing with one another
from Grade 2 to Grade 6. Way to go team!
Way to Go Osprey!
