General Announcements

• THE GRADE 9/10 PRINCIPAL’S MEDAL Student Application Process for 2026 has started.  The Principal’s Medal is awarded annually to two students in grade 9 and 10 who have demonstrated qualities of leadership and service in the school and community, and commendable performance in the courses in which they have enrolled.  The deadline for submission is today, Friday May 29th at noon.   
• Citizenship Service Project: From May 25 – May 29, there will be a box where you can put your nonperishable food items at the Old Student Services desk.  All the proceeds will go towards the Canning Food bank.

• Students are welcome to attend the Wolfville Social Club’s production of a Mid Summer’s Night Dream. 

This re-imagined production transforms Shakespeare’s familiar tale into something uncanny and immersive. Featuring gender-swapped roles, the production offers a fluid and dynamic exploration of affection, jealousy, and ambition. Relationships evolve in real time, challenging assumptions about authority and identity while inviting audiences to see the story from unexpected perspectives.

Dates are May 28, 29 30 and June 4,5, 6 at the Al Whittle Theatre at 7:00.  There is also a showing at 2:00 on June 6.  

Students get in free when they use the code “I’m with Puck”.

Athletics Announcements

• Good luck to our Track team as they head to Provincials this weekend.  
• The Horton Griffins Girls Rugby Team defeated the Auburn Eagles to advance to provincials next weekend in Halifax. The girls started strong, scoring the first two tries courtesy of Catira “the goat” Sommers who converted both. The Eagles managed a lucky try just before half and scored again in the second half to leave the score a razor thin margin, 14 -12 for Horton. The Griffs took control of the game scoring twice more with “the Goat” touching down for another try and slotting the convert to seal the victory and their ticket to provincials. There were a number of strong performances but the Galdalf of the game eventually went to Elli Kinsman who stepped up in a pivotal role and did a fantastic job distributing the ball in the win. Great job Griffs and good luck next weekend.
