Fire Drill Follow up- A big Thanks to everyone for being so orderly and CALM. Although yesterday’s alarm was not a drill, it was by no means an emergency. That fact that we all exited so quickly allowed the Fire Department to pinpoint the alarm and get us back in from the cold more quickly.
Although it went quite well considering it happened over the lunch hour, it was by no means perfect. We will be refining a few procedures to ensure we are all safe regardless when an alarm occurs.
Good luck to Senior Basketball teams as they start hosting their tournament “Woodhaven Hoops Classic” today after school. Both the senior boys and senior girls kick off the tournament with a 4pm game. Senior boys play in the large gym, senior girls play in the small gym.
Good luck also goes out to our Junior A basketball teams as they start the Prescott tournament today as well. Junior A boys play Copperhaven at 5:30pm (at Copperhaven) on Friday and the Junior A girls play Meridian at 6:30pm (at Prescott) on Friday.
Wolfpack Nation is invited to come, watch, and cheer on all of our basketball teams!
Black History Month - Black History of Alberta
Joseph Lewis, alias Levi Johnston, also Lewes and Louis, fur trader (born c. 1772–73 in Manchester, New Hampshire; died 1820 in Saskatchewan District). Joseph Lewis was a Black fur trader, originally from the United States, who participated in the fur industry’s early expansion into the Canadian Northwest in the late 18th and early 19th centuries. He is one of very few Black people involved in the fur trade whose name is documented in existing texts. Joseph Lewis is further notable for being the first Black person in present-day Saskatchewan, as well as, in all likelihood, Alberta. Although fur trading comprises some of Canada’s most important early history, the presence of Black Canadians within that history has been largely overlooked. In part, this omission is due to historians’ interests lying elsewhere, but it has also been cultivated by a simple but powerful misconception: the history that concerns Black people in North America is essentially confined to the United States and warmer locations farther south.
