Hello to our Henry Wise Wood Students and Families,Trusting you have able to take a moment out of this busy season to enjoy the beautiful Fall weather. This week is a short one for students as our Staff gather on Friday around our Individual Program Plans, transition meetings, and student supports. This week we have also hosted a student vote, immunization clinic, and we were a Federal election polling station. Never a dull moment!
A reminder for Parents/Guardians to please sign and make corrections to the Demographic Verification Sheets and the Consent to Post and return all forms back to the main office as quickly as possible. 
Next week is particularly important as we honour Reconciliation Week in preparation for Reconciliation Day on Thursday, September 30. This day is established to honour, remember the lives lost and support the Truth and Reconciliation Calls to Action.  Our activities will include a virtual Link assembly on Monday, lunch hour community cleanup through the week, an invitation to craft our own individual acknowledgement of land, and the wearing of orange / favourite shirts throughout the week.   A reminder that we do not have school on the 30th. We invite each of our students and families to consider their own observance of Reconciliation Day and of the Calls to Action.
~ “The land does speak to you, you just have to listen and to be very observant."  (Elder Randy Bottle)
 
Wishing everyone a lovely week,
