School Council
Sending a huge shout out to our dedicated School Council who continue to support students and the school in so many ways. If you feel like you might be able to help out – the next school fundraiser is Purdy’s and Poinsettias. In addition, start considering a role to support the upcoming casino on March 2 and 3, 2025.
Indigo Adopt a School Campaign
We are so grateful to those who contributed to our Indigo Adopt a School campaign!
The students and staff of William D. Pratt School would like to thank the school community for their support and contributions to the Indigo Adopt a School fundraiser. Our partnership with the Indigo bookstore at Dalhousie was a huge success! We received a number of brand new donated books as well as funds (last count was $3300.00!!!) that will be used to purchase many new books for our school’s Learning Commons. Mrs. Smith in the Learning Commons is looking forward to gathering ideas for titles and purchasing the books that our students have requested and are excited to be reading!
Bus Reminders
We sometimes get reports of disrespectful language and behaviour on our school buses and public transit. Students are reminded that school expectations of respect for others and property apply on the bus as well.
Winter Weather Safety
Snow is officially in the forecast. Please encourage your students to wear warm clothing to and from school.
Lost and Found
Curious where your child’s sweater, lunch bag, jacket, or water bottle have gone? Take a Look! Have your child look through the lost and found to claim their items. All items remaining in the lost and found after November conferences will be donated.
Heritage and Sailing Trips
Parent/Student interest meetings for the Grade 9 Heritage and Sailing trips are planned for Monday October 21 from 6pm to 7:15pm.
Athletics
We had an exciting weekend of Maverick’s basketball. Congratulations to all the athletes, coaches, and families who support our athletics programs. Thank you to School Council for supporting the servery.
