This Wednesday April 11th is “Pink Shirt Day” to support anti bullying. We are asking that all staff and students wear pink on Wednesday. A note will be going home tomorrow with details.

On Thursday April 12th Ogden will be holding a “jersey day” in honour of those that were lost or injured in the accident in Saskatchewan earlier this weekend. Ogden has always taken pride in their community and the fact that we always remain a family in spite of any obstacles or struggles that come our way. We would now like to extend that support and love to our Canadian families that are in need of support. We are asking all staff and students to wear any jersey or green and gold and bring in a $1 donation to support the Humboltd Broncos families during this difficult time. Thank you!

A big thank you to Kingsway Park Public School for hosting a week of cooking for our grade 7/8 class. They loved making tacos, mac and cheese, pancakes and muffins. What a great learning opportunity for our students!
