We had a wonderful Halloween parade and would like to thank the many parents and relatives for joining us.

Thank you also to the WE Student Leadership Team for planning a spooky Haunted House and collecting food items for the Surrey Food Bank for the “WE SCARE HUNGER” initiative. Juice Boxes & Drink Containers Students who have a juice box or drink container in their lunch must take it home to be recycled. We do not have facilities this year to wash and recycle individual drink containers. Volleyball Volleyball season is currently underway with the teams participating in school games with neighboring schools. Thank you to Mrs. Hiddleston, Mrs. Sloback and Mrs. Ordeman for coaching. Practice and game schedules are located on our school web site.
