Tour for Humanity

Today, many of the grade 10 history students had the opportunity to experience presentations made by the Tour for Humanity from the Canadian Simon Wiesenthal Centre.  It was a moving experience and touched many, provoking concern for the issues that can often be ignored until it is too late.  We have to remember our humanity and respect the dignity of human life throughout the world, seeking always to be a positive presence in the world.

Day of Service

The students led games and helped in the JK and SK classes.  It was a wonderful experience for all.
