February is Black History Month! Join us in the cafeteria on Thursday for BINGO!
Listen carefully to the clues on the announcements and guess who they are about. Write your full name, date, and who it is on a piece of paper and submit it to the office for a chance to win a prize. Good Luck!

The Youth Health Center is open Tuesday mornings for your wellness needs. Feel free to check in with Karrie Rayne.
Student Council
Hey Kingfishers, did you know that Friday is National Anti-Bullying day in Canada? It's True! We will be selling Pink Shirts in the lobby all week for only $10! Wear Pink on Friday to help celebrate National Anti-Bullying day.
Yearbook
Attention grade 12s! Did you know you can submit your future plans to be printed in the yearbook? You can! Just fill out the form in the grade 12 Google Classroom. We also need your baby pictures! All the information is in the Google Classroom under the "Yearbook" Assignment.
Co-op
Mr. Doyle is looking for Co-op Students for next year. The co-op course has been offered here at the school for over 30 years. If you want a real-world work experience to see if you are the right fit for a chosen career or unsure what career is best for you, select Co-op during your course selection. Health Care, Business, Computers, Tourism/Hotels, Law, Canadian Armed Forces, Police, Personal Trainers and many more are just a few examples of previous placements. Mr. Doyle has posted more information in the Grade 10 and 11 Google Classroom. There you can view a video and other links that better explain the Coop program.

Parking pass
Students and staff are reminded to submit an application for a parking pass to the Main Office. All those parking on school grounds must display a SHS parking pass. The Application is found on the SHS web site and parents must sign the student application. We are having a lot of issues with people making their own parking spaces, blocking other cars in, etc. We are aware that the lines are very faint, especially in the back row. Please considerate of where you are parking so as to make room for everyone.
Yearbook
Mr. Blades' Bonsai Tree trimming club will now take place in room 401. In room 322 Yearbook will be working during lunch on Tuesday. Reminder that we will be working on yearbook Tuesday at lunch. Bring a snack.
