Announcements for March 26, 2015

Today’s Spirit Week Theme is Throwback Thursday! Have a keen, groovy, fab, totally, trippin’ day!

Good morning, Pipers! This week is I Love Science Week. Did you know that
A single bolt of lightning contains enough energy to cook 100,000 pieces of toast.
Science is strange, science is weird, science is fun, and science is awesome!

Thank you to John Taylor and Mr. Lockhart for hosting the Safe Schools Forum last night. Staff attendance at the event and support to get it set up are appreciated. A highlight of the event was our JT dance group. A deeply heartfelt thank you to all of the student volunteers at the Safe Schools Forum last night. Your time and efforts helped to make the Forum run smoothly. A smashing success!  A special thank you to Ms. Botincan for organizing the dancers, Ms. Penner for her work with the volunteers and VIP room, Ms. Campbell and the gym class for helping with set up, Ms. Grant for her food distribution and photos, Ms. Palmer for the details and Mrs. James for shining such a positive light on John Taylor.

Attention all grad committee members, today's meeting is cancelled.  Have a wonderful Spring Break and we'll see you on Thursday, April 9th.
