This week at Signal Hill...
Truth and Reconciliation Month
This month is Truth and Reconciliation Month. On September 28th, at 10:45am our school will be having our Survivors' Flag raising ceremony and Orange Shirt Day. Please check your email for an official invite. Community members are welcome to attend.
As part of our work towards Truth and Reconciliation, our entire school is making their own orange shirt with support from our Indigenous Support Workers. It has been inspiring to see the care students have been putting into their designs.
Terry Fox Donations
We are excited to announce Blueshore Financial sponsored us and our Terry Fox Run by increasing our donation by another $1000. Our school raised over $1000, and combined with Blueshore, we donated over $2000 to the Terry Fox Organization! Thank you again for your donations!
Students in Ms. Cameron and Ms. Edward's class shared their brainstorming and artwork on what creates a successful classroom community.
Students in Ms. Nicholas' class were practicing their estimating strategies with beads. How many beads do you think are in this picture?
