We are located on the traditional unceded, and unsurrendered territories of the Anishinaabek and Haudenosaunee, who have inhabited and cared for these lands since time immemorial. We take this time to express our gratitude and respect to them and to the land for all that it has provided and will continue to provide. We acknowledge the history, the on-going impacts, and systems of colonialism. We are committed to learning more to promote healing and resilience as we move forward in true reconciliation. We are dedicated to building a future and community that is better for all.

What’s Happening Today
The Choir is singing in the Music room, DND is on in room 110, and the Student Council is meeting in room 113.

A friendly reminder to check your Limestone email for important information and links to all things Literacy Test! See you in the commons at lunch!

❖ There will be a meeting for all boys interested in playing basketball for Bayridge this year in Room 210 at lunch tomorrow! If you cannot make the meeting but want to play, please see Mr. Stewart or Mr. Allen before the end of the day on Tuesday. Tryouts will start later this week.

❖ Attention Grade 12s! You should be working to collect your 40 hours of community service. The pink volunteer hour forms are now located inside Student Services on the right wall as you come in - hand them in at the Main Office as you collect them. You need these hours to graduate Blazers!

❖ Grade 12s! There are thousands of dollars available to you to help you pay for College and University through scholarships and bursaries, a lot of which go unclaimed every single year. You don’t have to a be a straight A student. There is a binder outside of Student Services that can show you where to apply. You should also ask family and friends if their place of work offers scholarships or bursaries. You might be surprised; you could end up with money that just covers the cost of your textbooks, or a year of tuition or your entire post-secondary education. We encourage every one of you to apply, apply, apply.

❖ Hey Boys’ Volleyball players – make sure you get your clothing orders in this week! Don’t miss out!

Tuesday

Tuesday November 4 2025

This is National Treaties Recognition Week. Treaties are agreements between First Nations and the Crown that were meant to ensure we live together in peace, friendship, and respect. Treaties continue to shape our lives today, and we all share a responsibility to learn about and honour them, because we are all treaty people. We invite you to take time this week to learn whose treaty land we are on and how we can live in good relationship with each other and the land. In what we currently called Canada, First Nations and the Crown made treaties to share the land, protect rights, and support one another. For Indigenous Peoples, treaties were made in ceremony and were meant to last as long as the sun shines, the grass grows, and the rivers flow.

Treaties remind us to live in a good way, honour our commitments, and care for Mother Earth.
