ACS will be using the month of September to reaffirm our school's commitment to Truth and Reconciliation. As a show of support for the victims and survivors of residential schools, we are asking that this Friday, September 10th, all students replace their uniform shirt with a school-appropriate orange shirt. You must wear uniform bottoms. Lori will be selling orange shirts in the main office during lunch for anyone interested in purchasing one. Shirts cost $10 - cash only.
Do you enjoy acting, singing, and dancing? IF so, the musical is for you! This year's musical is a comedy called "Addam's Family" and auditions are on Tuesday, September 21st for DANCE and Wednesday, September 22nd for ACTING & SINGING. Call backs will be on Friday, September 24th and MUST feature a song from the show. All must attend the dance audition and will be taught a dance to repeat, no preparation required. For the acting audition, you must memorize ANY monologue and for the singing audition you can sing with accompaniment or acapella. Sign up for an audition time outside the drama room 1092, across from the main office. Any questions? Email Mrs. Ratelband at nratelband@bhncdsb.ca. Take a risk and audition - you won't regret it!

Orange Shirt Day
Dear Families: Orange Shirt Day in September.
Please find attached an important message from Director Mike MacDonald regarding the Board's commitment to recognizing, sharing, and educating our school community about the historical and ongoing wrongs, perpetrated against Indigenous peoples. The upcoming annual Orange Shirt Day will take place on September 30, 2021 in the new school year. We hope you can help us support this important cause by participating in Orange Shirt Day in September. Orange Shirts will be made available to purchase in School Cash Online beginning today and will expire on June 25th. In order to arrange for so many orange shirts for September 30th, it is necessary for this item to be offered for purchase at this time (orders will be taken from June 14th to June 25th ). Delivery to our school will be made in September and the orange shirts will be distributed to those participating students before September 30th.
Thank you for your attention and participation in the upcoming Orange Shirt Day in September. Orange Shirt Purchase Supporing Woodland Cultural Centre Save the Evidence Campaign.pdf
