Our Alternate lunch space has changed!!!
Between now and Feb 11 we will be using the TENNIS COURTS during lunch instead of the Gym.
Weather Note
On rainy days, your teachers will inform 15 minutes before lunch if the field is open for play.
If the field is closed, children should find an indoor space to hang out.
For your own well being, please stay out of the rain!

1st round Audition sign-up - The Sound of Music
Auditions for this year's production of The Sound of Music are right around the corner! First-round auditions for all Grade 6–12 students will take place right after school on November 9th, 16th, and 17th in either the Theater or the Black Box. This round is specifically for students interested in lead and supporting main characters—ensemble role auditions will be held separately in January.
To prepare, please check the drive link. You will find specific folders for each main character containing their required audition song (with music track) and the selected monologue/dialogue. You must audition using the exact song and script provided for the character you are trying out for, and both must be fully memorized. Make sure to sign up in advance for your preferred audition date on the sign-up sheet provided. Break a leg!

Take a quiet moment this week to be completely honest with yourself: Are you truly being kind to those around you?
Consider how your words and actions land on the people around you:
What would others say? How do your peers view the way you treat people?
Check your humor: Is that "joke" actually funny, or is it secretly hurting someone?
The family test: Would your family be proud of how you speak and act with that person?
Look around: Is there someone in your classes or at lunch you could be nicer to?
Middle school is a tough time for a lot of people. A simple act of kindness can literally be the difference between someone loving coming to school or dreading it every day. You don't have to be best friends with everyone, but living up to our expectation “We Care For Others” means treating every single person in our building with respect and warmth.
Choose to make a positive impact!

Things for MS to remember in the cafe:
The cafe is ONLY AVAILABLE DURING LUNCH (not breaks)
This is a quiet area (people 5 meters away should NOT understand your conversation) - this space is very open and noise travels to the Library side which can interrupt learning.
NOTE - On Thursdays, the cafe closes at 3:30 p.m.
