Happy Friday DDS Families, 

Thank you to everyone who joined us last night for our Open House and School Council meeting. It was a fun week for students filled with learning, a lacrosse residency, and of course a visit to the book fair. Next week students will engage in learning around Truth and Reconciliation. We will continue our Call to Action, connecting with Stacey Running Rabbit as our knowledge keeper. Students are invited to wear Orange on Tuesday as there will be no school on Wednesday in recognition of the National Day of Truth and Reconciliation. 

Have a wonderful weekend! 

Heather McKay, Principal 

Monique Koleyak, Assistant Principal

Healthy Hunger is an online ordering platform that allows interested families to order a special lunch or snack for their child, delivered to their classroom. This is our main school-based fundraiser, supporting learning enhancements. If you already have an account, you just need to update your child's grade and classroom teacher. New parent accounts and existing account updates can be accessed online here.
