It's time to get active for the first-ever @WCSSAA Virtual #Fitness Series. We know the loss of #sport has been hard, so to help, we are offering a variety of fun (and free) physical events and challenges to boost well-being. All Grade 9-12 students are welcomed to participate!
Happy Holi!
Happy Holi! Holi is the Hindu "Festival of Colours" and promotes the idea of togetherness and the colour of everyday life. It signifies the end of winter and hopes for the upcoming spring harvest. Despite #COVID19, we hope you are able to find safe ways to celebrate this year!
