Great Things Seen & Heard

  • We were commended for having the highest percentage of staff members with the online safety training completed! Way to go, everyone!
  • Overheard: This isn’t acting like a real website, it’s acting like a picture of a website. It is a picture of a website!
  • Misappropriation of the terms: a boy went in the gender-inclusive bathroom with a girl, but only to talk.
  • Some of our CTS General students have already earned a few credits!
  • Three boys were caught in the main boys’ bathroom in the dark. When lights were turned on, a loud “What are you doing so close to me??” was heard.
  • We heard that police and a SWAT team were at our school arresting students who weren’t wearing masks.
  • Football boys have been reported to be going into the Fitness Room to primp in front of the wall of mirrors.
  • A staff member in the staff bathroom was alarmed to hear what sounded like someone breaking through the wall. It turns out that someone did burst a hole in the wall, but not through!
  • Overheard regarding the protest organizer: “Why would we follow a kid who can’t even spell?”
  • When asked if he had a booboo, the student answered, “Yes, but that’s not what it’s called.”
  • We had the best turn-out ever for a Grad meeting at lunch this past week!
  • Seen: a football player has a teddy-bear in his locker to pump himself up.
  • Our Volleyball teams were able to go on their first road trip in years!
  • Our Football team won their game on Friday night!
  • A total stranger from a town east of Calgary called to encourage us to stand strong after seeing a post about police in front of our school—she said she knew it was a false report and thought we probably needed a positive phone call!
