General Announcements

Join us for a casual hangout with games, activities, and snacks (while supplies last). Any student is welcome, whether you have attended drop in before or not. We hope to see you there! ,
- There will be a bake sale next Tuesday April 23rd at recess and lunch to help support Molhem Tahina on his upcoming trip to Wales for the U18 Rock rugby team. Bring some cash and help send Mo to Wales!!!
- Next week the school will be participating in Denim day. Denim day occurs every year on the last Wednesday of April, which is sexual assault awareness month. This day was created after a sexual assault trial in Italy where the victim was blamed for her assault because of how tight her jeans were, saying that the act must have been consensual because the victim would have had to help her assaulter remove her jeans. In protest and solidarity, we encourage everyone to jeans and denim on Wednesday, April 24th to show our support for sexual assault victims everywhere.
- Our supply of yearbooks to sell is dwindling! There are only a couple dozen left. They can be purchased online (the link is on the Horton Home Page) or through Val Kennie in the main office. If you want your yearbook personalized, today is the last day to make that order.
- There are still some seats left in the PC for the screening of the environmental documentary, “There’s Something in the Water”. Teachers, if you wish to bring your class, please send Mrs Greene an email
