  1. The Student Voice Club is hosting an Art Contest for a creative new SOSS logo!  To enter, submit a piece of artwork with a RENOVATED design of the SOSS Hornet mascot for 2020. The winning design will be featured on our new student merch, and the creator will win awesome prizes! The deadline is Nov. 17th. You can pick-up contest information in the main office.   

 

  1. There is Grade 9 field hockey practice today after school in the Small Gym. 

 

  1. Yoga Club today at 3 in the Drama Room. 

 

  1. SOSS Hornet masks are for sale in the Library for $5.00.  See Mrs. Wolfe to get your very own Hornet mask. 

 

  1. Don’t forget to come to the Library and get your poppies by donation!  Come and support our Veterans and the annual Remembrance Day Poppy Campaign, this year the door-to-door campaign is not happening so any bit we can do here at SOSS to help will go a long way. 

 

  1. At the end of September, most students participated in a survey.  One of the questions asked was: “What word comes to mind when you think about school?”   A poster with those words is on the glass railing across from the office.  Check the poster for your word.  The bigger the word, the more times it was mentioned.      

 

  1. This is a friendly reminder that students and staff are required to wear a mask in the hallways and waiting for the bus.  The current pandemic protocols will likely be with us until well into the school year and possibly until the end of the school year.  The cases in BC have been climbing and we want to be vigilant in observing Health and Safety protocols to ensure everyone’s safety.  As the weather gets colder, and students move indoors, please remember to stay in your designated areas, not in the hallways, and wear your mask in common areas.  Thanks to everyone for your cooperation.   

 

  1. Grads It’s Meat and Flower fundraiser time. Sell meat and flowers to reduce your grad fees. Order forms are in the office and flower orders can be done online through our SOSS website. The turnaround time is quick, so sell to your friends and neighbor's today! Flower orders are due by Nov. 18 and meat orders by Nov. 20. Check your school email for a message from Mrs. Koffler and see Ms. Smith, Mr. Kitt or Mrs. Koffler with any questions. 

 

  1. The SOSS Talent show is approaching quickly and so far it looks like only the grade 8’s and grade 11’s will have a show.  Come on Grade 9s, 10s and 12s...It is not too late to sign-up.  We know there must be more students out there who like the opportunity to perform!  Sign-up today outside the drama room.
