  Winter Wonderland Dance!!

Our Grade 7 and 8 students are holding their first dance today after school. The theme is "Winter Wonderland", and all proceeds from this event will go toward the building of a school in India (in collaboration with Free The Children). Thanks to staff members who have agreed to chaperone, and to our wonderful DJ, a Centennial student who is volunteering his services for the dance. Have fun, everyone!

Please review the revised school improvement plan that was shared last evening at the Parent Council Meeting.

While on our website calendar, the date is correctly indicated as Wednesday, January 25 for the French concert, the newsletter calendar went out before the date changed and it states that the concert is on the Thursday. Please note that the correct date is Wednesday, January 25! Merci!
