Hello Families of Coyote Creek!

We have had a terrific start to this school year and a truly busy September! This past week we have been taking time to honour the memory of Terry Fox and our collective fight against cancer. Students have been working with their teachers thinking about those around us who have been impacted by this illness. We continue to collect donations online for the Terry Fox Foundation. Please see the link below if you feel that you are able to donate to this cause:

We are also preparing to welcome indigenous cultural facilitators to Coyote Creek in advance of Orange Shirt Day and our celebration of indigenous heritage through our First Peoples in Residence Week (Sept 26-29). Next week, our students will have visits from 4 indigenous cultural facilitators who will share about the culture and learning of indigenous peoples within Canada. Don't forget to wear your orange shirts on September 29th!
