Tomorrow our Remembrance Day Liturgy will take place virtually immediately following announcements. Every student in our school will also receive a poppy tomorrow morning. All donations collected will support The Royal Canadian Legion, who cares for all those who have served our nation. As members of the Legion, they show their thanks by supporting and advocating for Veterans, by remembering their sacrifices, and by continuing the tradition of service in helping our communities. Students are encouraged to bring in a looney or twoonie on as a donation for your poppy.
Coffee House is back Lions! Need an excuse to hang out with friends, eat snacks, and enjoy some great live entertainment? Coffee House is the place to be!

Attention students applying for scholarships and bursaries: if you require an adult to write a letter of reference for you OR to fill in an application, it is respectful to ask for it at least 2 weeks in advance so you can receive a well done, thoughtful letter of reference. Please also provide the adult with a list of all your extra-curricular activities here at school and in the community, along with dates, timelines and your role in those activities.
Graduating students- are you thinking of applying to post-secondary schools outside of Ontario or outside of Canada? The ACS Student Services team recommends you research now to determine due dates for applying to their schools. They may require entrance exams, documentation from ACS, letters of reference, etc so don't compromise your chances of admission by missing due dates or scrambling at the last minute.
A reminder to all students- if you need to talk to your guidance counsellor, please come to Student Services and sign up in your counsellor's book in to make an appointment.
