ACHIEVEMENTS

TERRY FOX RUN

This year's Terry Fox Run was epic! I am not sure what was better: the amount of kids that ran or the amount of money collected. Final numbers are still being counted, but right off the bat, we beat our goal of $500 which meant that Mr. Richard had to wear the lobster outfit that Student Council got for him if we did meet the goal. In addition, Mrs. Uhrich was dared by her brother to wear a Little Mermaid costume during the run and pledged $50 (matched by mom) to have her do it...well, when your brother dares you...it's on!!! So that explains the costumes, but the rest of the day was also great: the weather cooperated, the barbeque was spectacular, and all in all the Student council stepped up to the plate once again and knocked it out of the park. Well done Mustangs!

TRUTH & RECONCILIATION ASSEMBLY

Students participated in a school-wide Truth and Reconciliation celebration today, watching a few videos in assembly that touched on the importance of reconciliation and what that meant, as well as the story behind wearing the orange shirts. Students then went back to their homerooms where they wrote poems and letters about their own roots and discussed their own origins and identity.

PHOTOGRAPHY 9

Out of classroom learning... Photography 9 students took advantage of the break in the weather and the fall sunshine to go to Rotary Beach and experiment with aperture.

Small School. Big Family.

THANK YOU FOR YOUR SUPPORT!

Lord Jesus, In this time when leaves turn to new hues, Please color my outlook with Your grace. Though the Earth travels farther from the sun, Help me to draw closer to You. Clothed in seasonal attire, May my patience with others never wear thin. Loving Savior, may Your example inspire me, Although I am far from perfect. May Your forgiveness help me To keep trying to serve You with humility. Amen.
