This Week @ Journey November 14-18

Thank you/Merci/Hych’ka – We want to thank our guest speaker, Veteran Mr. S. Parkinson for sharing his experiences and reminding us why Remembrance Day is so important. Thank you to the students who performed either with the Band, solo performances, reciting poems, marching band, and our cadets for their outstanding contributions to our assembly. A special thank you to the entire school population for being absolutely respectful from the time they entered the gym, through the ceremony and as they left. We can all take pride in this most honourable Remembrance Day Ceremony.

Reminder – Band/String Students wanting to go to Nationals in Niagara Falls need to have their deposit in by December 1. See Mrs. Bjourklund for more details.
