What's on for this week - October 2nd
Hello, Hay Lakes community!
Thank you for a great week last week! We had many events and lots of opportunities for students and parents to engage in activities at the school including presentations from Knowledge Keeper Brad Rabbit, a presentation from Fred Fox, Terry Fox's brother, the Terry Fox Run, and our indoor picnic on Friday. Thanks to our Secondary Student Vision team for organizing our activities and having to switch them up due to the weather. We also hosted a junior high volleyball tournament this weekend. Thank you to the parent organizers and to all the parents who volunteered their time. A big thank you to the staff for helping to organize these events last week!
Thank you to all parents who came to the School Council and Hay Lakes Society for Youth Development meetings last week. The next school council meeting will be on November 23rd at 7 p.m. We are also in the planning stages for a presentation for parents about Internet Safety in October so please stay tuned for more details!
