Tuesday, May 7 - GISS Announcements 

 

'Uy' Netulh~ |Good Morning,  

We acknowledge and thank the Hul'q'umi'num and SECOTEN speaking peoples – past, present, and future – for their stewardship, care, and leadership on these lands. We acknowledge that we are guests on these lands. We also give thanks to the ancestors, supernatural ones, leaders and matriarchs, creatures big and small for looking after the rich resources and cultural teachings of this beautiful land. 

 

A small group of eager students have organized a Mental Health Mini Fair TODAY at lunchtime in the Multi.  Salt Spring Community Services, The Circle, Salt Spring Mental Wellness Initiative, Vancouver Island Health Authority, IWAV (& more...) will be present to answer questions & share resources. Conversations will focus on:  work/life balance, identity, self-worth, neurodiversity, grief, loss, mental wellness and how to access support.  Everyone is welcome, we hope to see you there!  

 

APPRENTICES!! Apprentice study group meets today afterschool at the TASK classroom  4:15-5:30.  Email Mrs. Hambrook with your snack suggestions!   

 
Grade 10-12 girls volleyball players- there will be a special training session after school where we have a professional volleyball player guest coach. You don’t want to miss this session! 4:30-6:30pm TODAY. 

 

Attention Grads! A reminder of our Grad Meeting at Lunch tomorrow Wednesday May 8 in the gym. We will be voting on speakers for Grad and updating you with the latest Grad Information. See you there!  

 

Career Education 12 Students. A reminder that you have your final workshop for the course tomorrow morning, Wednesday May 8th. See email sent last night sent by Mr. Massey. All Career Education 12 students will meet in the Multi for the first part on the presentation at 8:54am.  

 

Grade 7 visit today. The grade 7s will be visiting GISS this morning and will be toured around the school. Remember when you were coming to GISS? Please share a smile and welcome any students you see! 

 

The GISS Track and Field team will practice tomorrow from 4:30-6 pm at Portlock Park. Dress for all kinds of weather.       

 

It is unacceptable to show a lack of respect for the school and those within it. Please know that every time this building and property is not properly looked after, someone is on the receiving end of that. It requires time and attention to deal with it, to fix it. Garbage cans turned upside down, graffiti on walls and in stalls, garbage in sinks and urinals is not nearly good enough. To those few, please rise up to show respect for those working and learning in this shared environment.  

Thank you. 

 

Today Caf will be serving:  

  • Beef Burrito 

  • Salmon Nicoise 

  • Roasted cauliflower rice and sweet potatoes 

 

Every day we have the opportunity to choose who we want to be. Happy Tuesday!  

Huy tseep q’u! Thank you for listening.
