Grade 9 basketball is now finished for the season. Thanks to everyone who came out. Enjoy the warmer weather and stay active.

Grads of 2021...The Francis Family Scholarship information sheet is now available in the office. You must prepare a portfolio and it will take some time. Your portfolio is due Friday, May 14. Please pick up an information sheet from Mrs. Koffler in the office.

Keep listening Grads....Every year the SOSS Enrichment Fund awards thousands and thousands of dollars to many of our graduates. In order to be considered for any of these scholarships and bursaries you MUST complete an application form. This form is due by the end of the school day on Monday, March 1st and no late applications will be accepted. There are some documents that you will need to go with your application including a letter of reference. Please ask for these letters asap in order to give people the time needed to write you a meaningful letter. PS...March 1st is NEXT MONDAY so GET GOING!

One more announcement for grads....Unfortunately, the Grad breakfast has been postponed as we did not have enough people to sign up to make it feasible. We hope to do the breakfast in the coming months, but will wait to hear from the grads on a date.

Due to the new rules The Gathering Room will be open for the first 10 minutes of Lunch and closed for the rest of the Lunch break until the last 5 minutes of lunch. Please grab a snack and say hi at the beginning or end of lunch only. We cannot have students coming and going from the room at all. Thank you.

On Friday, SAGA is hosting a guest speaker via Zoom. Melisa is from the Foundry in Penticton and is going to be talking about resources and support available to LGBTQ+ youth. Please come to Ms. Shione’s room at 11:20 on Friday!
