CHARACTER TRAIT ASSEMBLY
On Tuesday, September 30th, Prestige School held this year’s first character education assembly for COOPERATIVE. Many students have been cooperative this month, but some have been noticeably more. The students who received this month’s certificate are:
JK: Cynthia
SK: Amelia
Gr. 1: Arvin
Gr. 2: Alec
Gr. 3: Jayden
Gr. 4: Ronalda
Gr. 5: Uliana
Gr. 6: Ava
Gr. 7: Emily

October’s character trait is INCLUSIVITY, the means by which individuals from all backgrounds are engaged, integrated, motivated, and valued. Mrs. Amanda and the grade 8s prepared skits to show what inclusivity looks like. Great job grade 8s!
TERRY FOX RUN
On Thursday, September 25th, Prestige students participated in a modified Terry Fox School Run. Due to the rain, students ran in the gymnasium to carry on Terry’s legacy of the Marathon of Hope. Prestige students surpassed this year’s goal and raised $2741! Amazing job this year! Thank you to everyone that donated.
Since we exceeded our goal, students will receive casual Fridays in October! Thank you to Mrs. Amanda for planning and organizing the Terry Fox Run every year. Check out our gallery for more pictures.
DECA
On Tuesday, September 30th, Prestige School’s DECA club had their first meeting with other DECA teams around Ontario. Ms. Yana and our DECA team went to the Fall Symposium at Chateau le Jardin. Students had fun networking with other students and teacher advisors.
This year’s DECA club consists of 15 students. Richard (gr. 12) is the President of our DECA club and Gleb (gr. 12) is the Vice President. Here’s to a great DECA year for our students and Ms. Yana.
