Isabella was also a crew member for the school's production of the musical Hairspray and partakes in volunteer opportunities in and out of school.

Orange Shirt Day
Dear Families: Orange Shirt Day in September.
Please find attached an important message from Director Mike MacDonald regarding the Board's commitment to recognizing, sharing, and educating our school community about the historical and ongoing wrongs, perpetrated against Indigenous peoples. The upcoming annual Orange Shirt Day will take place on September 30, 2021 in the new school year. We hope you can help us support this important cause by participating in Orange Shirt Day in September. Orange Shirts will be made available to purchase in School Cash Online beginning today and will expire on June 25th. In order to arrange for so many orange shirts for September 30th, it is necessary for this item to be offered for purchase at this time (orders will be taken from June 14th to June 25th ). Delivery to our school will be made in September and the orange shirts will be distributed to those participating students before September 30th.
Thank you for your attention and participation in the upcoming Orange Shirt Day in September. Orange Shirt Purchase Supporing Woodland Cultural Centre Save the Evidence Campaign.pdf
