Surrey Schools

 

RCMP officers and volunteers have been outside Surrey schools reminding drivers to drive safely in school zones.
Drivers are being given drawings done by students which include messages urging them not to engage in dangerous activities such as speeding or using their cell phones - as well as information about possible fines they'll face if they do break the law.
The initiative is part of the Think of Me - Leave it Alone road safety campaign, a partnership between Surrey Schools, Surrey RCMP and ICBC, with a focus this year on distracted driving.

Staff, students and district staff pulled out out their pumpkin-coloured clothing Sept. 30 for Orange Shirt Day.
The day is meant to honour those who survived Indian Residential Schools and remember those who did not survive.
The motto of the day is Every Child Matters and serves not only as a reminder that all children, regardless of background, are important, but as a commitment that we will do all we can to ensure students' self-esteem and well-being.

Raven Supply has generously continued their support at Frank Hurt Secondary, providing $5,500 for an emergency fund that can be accessed for vulnerable youth in desperate situations.

These funds have proved essential in many situations where students find themselves in need.

Raven Supply also donated $1,000 to the after-school program BLAST at Bridgeview Elementary.
