Skating continues today in our PE classes. It is super important all students get to the gym right away with their skating gear ready to go! Congratulations to our senior basketball teams for some great league games last night vs Broxton. Senior girls easily won their game, and the senior boys put in a solid effort but lost their game.Lots of basketball happening again today…here is a quick run down…
John Ware, cowboy and rancher (born c. 1845–50 in the United States; died 11 September 1905 near Brooks, AB). John Ware is legendary in the history of Alberta for his strength and horsemanship. Born enslaved, he became a successful rancher who settled near Calgary and Brooks. He was widely admired as one of the best cowboys in the West, even at a time of widespread anti-Black racism and discrimination. Though stories about John Ware contain exaggerations, his status as a regional folk hero shows how well respected he was. The traits he is said to have had are typical of the frontier heroes of cowboy culture. What distinguishes him the most, however, is how successfully he established himself in 19th-century Canadian society, where anti-Black prejudice and discrimination were common. 7 A and B are challenging the school to commit random acts of kindness this week! We are setting a goal at 450. That's over one hundred acts of kindness a day! Can we do it? Yesterday we did pretty well, not quite 100… but we know there are many acts happening around the school each day, so we are confident we can reach our goal! Witness an act of kindness? Give them a "link" to the giant paper chain that has been started in the PLAZA!
Remember, both staff AND students may give out links. Let’s see how many acts of kindness we can recognize this week! Today is Pink Shirt Day |
