This is a good resource and activity guide for students
Last week at Ventura Park, we had Rosalie Sellick do a presentation on international student exchange for our grade 7 and 8 classes.

We encourage you to discuss this presentation with you children!
The International Day Against Homophobia and Transphobia marks its 20th year with the goal of raising awareness of LGBTQ+ equality and engaging in constructive and positive public dialogue to counter homophobic and transphobic behavior. The day is held every year on May 17 and has become an international event.
The day is organized by Fondation Emergence, a Montreal-Based non-profit organization with a national and international scope, created in 2000, whose mission is to fight homophobia and transphobia, to promote inclusion and to defend the rights of the LGBTQ+ people. Why is this day held on May 17? Because it was on this date, in 1990, that homosexuality was removed from the World Health Organization (WHO) list of mental illnesses. So we commemorate this important victory.
Dear families,
Don’t forget, our school is hosting a Scholastic Book Fair from May 19- May 29
The Scholastic Book Fair is a fantastic way to continue to give our students access to the books they want to read. We are so happy that our students can interact with the Fair at our school, and choose their next favourite book!
For parents, family and friends who cannot enter the school, we’re excited that you will still be able to shop our Virtual Book Fair Extension on our Book Fair dates, and select the books that inspire your readers from the comfort of home.
All purchases benefit our school and earn Rewards that can be redeemed
for books and Education Resources for our classrooms and school
library.
Watch for news leading up to our Scholastic Book Fair!
Happy Reading!
