Happy weekend you AWESOME Hurricanes!
Well, March is here in a blink-of-an-eye! As one of our students shared in our Oral Communications Festival this week, “whether you’re a billionaire, star athlete, celebrity, or just an average Joe, it doesn’t matter – time moves at the same rate, and whatever goes by we cannot take back. So live your time as best as you can!”
On that note, please check out our attached Hurricane ‘WEEKLY’ Newsletter for March 4th – 8th, 2024 attached above. And yes, March Break is on the horizon!
Thanks for everyone’s support of our Healthy Snack Program! Whether you were able to donate online for our February 28th Pasta Lunch on PinkShirtDayCANADA.ca, or today with the LiveFREE Toonie Drive, the support was tremendous! We are grateful and our young people will benefit from your generosity.
Please check out the final 2 webinars available for parents and caregivers, provided by the partnership between the Upper Grand and Wellington Catholic District School Boards, in collaboration with The Pine River Institute.

- The sincere presentation of yourself and your values to others
- Doing the right thing even when nobody's looking.
Why is Integrity Important?

- Helps us make and keep good friends
Enjoy your weekend everyone! Try to get out for some fresh air and sunshine. We appreciate our amazing Hurricane Staff, Students and Families sooooo much!!!
