The Twelve Days of Christmas continues TODAY (Dec. 9th) with Christmas in July/Santa's Day. Students can replace their uniform tops with a Hawaiian shirt and/or Christmas accessories. Uniform bottoms are required. Tomorrow (Dec. 10th) is Flannel Day. Trade in your uniform top for a warm, cozy flannel shirt. Uniform bottoms required.
Monday Dec. 13th will be a Causal Dress Day to support the Hickey Family who had a wheelchair stolen from their home. Students are to bring in two dollars to dress casually. Thank you for supporting this initiative.
Monday will be our first "Assumption only" STEM session. We have Blaire Flynn and Jenna Saffin from Canada's own SNOLAB - a world renown neutrino research station located deep underground in the Sudbury area. They will be appearing virtually during both lunches (11:30-12:30 & 12:45-1:45) in the Lecture Hall. STEM students are encouraged to sign up outside of room 3005 to participate in this event. Most students will only be missing a small portion of class time around their lunch hour. Don't miss out on this opportunity.
Attention all Curlers. There is a practice for both the girls and boys teams scheduled for Tuesday, Dec 14th after school. Please see Mr. Page or Mr. O'Brien for more information.
Hello Lions! As part of the Recreation Leadership 12 Days of Kindness Initiative our class is collecting blankets, mitts, hats and coats.

Check your closets and see if there might be something you can donate. Donations will be accepted until Tuesday Dec 14. Thank you Lions.
