November Update
The past month was another busy one at SHS with so much school spirit. We hosted our Parent/Guardian Night, Academic Awards, and our fall Pep Rally! It was a month to recognize Spirit, Heritage, and Success. Thank you to our student council for organizing a very fun spirit week prior to Halloween. Student Council is now busy planning the month ahead with fundraising efforts for Youth United, our Remembrance Day Assembly, and wellness activities for every Wednesday in November.
Remembrance Day
On November 11th, SHS will honour and recognize all those who have served and continue to serve in the Canadian Armed Forces. The freedoms we enjoy today were secured by generations of Canadians who answered the call to serve, many of whom never came home. At SHS, our Student Council has planned a ceremony that thoughtfully recognizes the contributions of members of the CAF in our school community. Our ceremony begins at 10:40 AM this Nov. 11th.
Fall Athletics
As our fall season wraps up, we want to congratulate our Girl's Field Hockey team winning Silver at KASSAA this past month. We also are ready to cheer on many of our fall teams who are starting play-offs today - you can catch quarterfinal action at SHS with JR Football kicking off at 3 PM, JR Girls Basketball on the court at 4 PM, and our SR Girls Basketball team at 5:30 PM. Our JR Boys Volleyball team is on the road to Holy cross. Remember you can watch our athletes compete live on our new Hudl filming system. Good luck to all our teams!
Midterms
As we move into November, we are approaching midterm report cards. It is hard to believe that we will soon be halfway through semester one. On that note, a reminder that attendance, participation and engagement in class is directly linked to success in class. Midterm report cards will be coming home Nov. 19th. If you have questions or concerns, please reach out to the classroom teacher as we want to work together to support our students.

SHS Fundraising
Thank you to everyone who supported our SHS Sweater fundraiser and SHS Fall Bingo. We continue to look for ways to fundraise that will allow us to continue to offer exceptional programming and opportunities to our students.

Score Clock
We are beginning to fundraise for a new score clock for our Football Field. We are looking for donations and sponsors to help us! If you know of any local businesses who would be interested, share this letter of interest. We also accept donations to our Charitable Trust, which means that tax receipts can be issued for any donation.

Woodshop Donations
Our woodshop students have been busy building and continue to look for ways to contribute to our school community.
Projects for your home
Here are some samples of projects completed in the past. Students are willing and able to design, provide a project quote, and build as part of their learning. Consider reaching out to teacher Nick Allinson (allinsonn@limestone.on.ca) or contact the school 613 376-3612 if you need something built and designed by our students.
Lumber
A huge shout out and thank-you to Ryan at LaRochelle Drywall and Sean Williams for their very generous recent donations to the woodshop. The students benefit immensely from having real world materials, and higher quality wood than we would be able to provide on our own. We are always looking to receive donations for materials or to fulfil projects that you have in mind. Please don’t hesitate to reach out to Nick if you have any questions or materials to donate, we appreciate your support.
