Today is School Bus Driver Appreciation Day!

Today, we celebrate the incredible drivers who ensure our students travel to and from school safely every day. Your dedication, kindness, and care leave a lasting impact on our school communities.

From navigating snowy roads to greeting students with a warm smile and creating a welcoming space on the bus, your efforts truly make a difference.

Thank you, bus drivers, for everything you do!

National Child Day

This is the 31st anniversary of National Child Day in Canada – a day to honour our country’s commitment to upholding the rights of children and two historic events: the 1959 signing of the UN Declaration of the Rights of the Child and the adoption of the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child in 1989.
