Last Grad Standing, a 24-hour weekend event for our grade 12 students, is quickly approaching on May 31-June 1. For a successful event, we are asking the community for donations. Donations can be in the form of food, store bought or home cooked, prizes, such as merchandise or gift cards, or even cash, which will be used to purchase prizes. If you want to donate, please contact Mr. Paradis in the main office, or Ms. Sim or Ms. Hoff in the PE department. All donations, big or small, are greatly appreciated!

All grades 12 wanting to participate in Last Grad Standing must have their permission forms in by Monday, May 26th. Pick up your form from the PE office.

We have had lots of presentations in the school lately, including from the City of Thompson about becoming a National Lifeguard and Thompson Junior Soccer about becoming a player, coach or referee this summer. If you missed anything or want more information, check out our social media, posters around the school, or stop by the main office and talk to an administrator.

ELA provincial exams start Monday May 26 and run until Thursday, May 29^th. Grade 12s, check with your ELA teacher if you have questions.
