BATTLE OF THE BOOKS

When: Tuesday's @ Lunch until May 29th when the annual Battle of the Books Competition happens at the Henry Grube Education Centre
Where:  Library office

Everyone is welcome to join us for lunch where we have a lot of laughs and sometimes get around to talking about the books on the list. 
No one has to read all of the books, but it's nice if they read at least one. 

High School Battle of the Books is quite different from the Elementary one: way more fun, far more creative, and a little less competitive... but still a good spark to keep a student going!

Care about the planet and want to make a difference? Sustainability Club is a welcoming space for students of all backgrounds to come together, share ideas, and take action for a healthier environment.

Join us to connect, get involved, and help create a more sustainable future—together. 🌱

EMPOWER HER GYM

When:  Tuesdays @ 3:00 PM

Our goal is to help girls stay active, try new things, and have fun while building confidence and friendships that last. It’s all about creating positive experiences and being part of a supportive, encouraging community.

Each week, students help choose the activities, so there’s always something exciting to look forward to. From time to time, we head out to local gyms, fitness studios, or city facilities to mix things up. These trips are a great way to try new activities and maybe even discover something you love and want to keep doing outside of school.
