WOW... Today our Intermediate Huskies had the opportunity to see a presentation by Stephen Lewis who discussed equality, education, and the rights of a child! What a moving and insightful speaker! Thank you Stephen Lewis! #BWDSB #StephenLewis

Even though our Husky family isn’t together in-person, we still want to recognize the dedication, commitment, and perseverance our Huskies and their families have shown over the past week and a half! And as we approach Mental Health Awareness week....stay strong, stay safe, and stay healthy everyone!

Kindergarten Registration Hey! 3 Year Olds (and recent 4 year olds) ... Ready, Set... Let's Go to School It is time to pre-register your child for kindergarten! Whether this is your first child entering school or your fourth, it is an exciting time for you, and your child. In order to help prepare for school, we invite you to call Hillcrest Elementary School 519-376-1771, and get the registration process started. We will,... - learn about the kindergarten program; - learn how to support your child’s transition to school; - learn more about healthy growth and development; and - learn about community resources. You may wonder why children are pre-registered for kindergarten almost a year prior to school entry. Pre-registration is an opportunity to foster a relationship with the school and support this important transition for your child.

Congratulations to London Doyle and Elena Maher on their 1st place finishes with their poem and poster submissions for the annual Legion contest. Way to go girls!
