The YHS community officially welcomed new Head of School, Chantal Gionet, at the Welcome Back BBQ.
There were games on the field, entertainment from student performers in our outdoor amphitheatre, and plenty of hot dogs, burgers, soft drinks and ice cream for everybody!
Thank you to all of our parent volunteers and a special thank you to organizers Zahra Rasul and Farrell Eckman.
It was a bright and beautiful day for YHS’s own mini Marathon of Hope. From Grade 1 to Grade 12, all of our students showed up in house colours to run and show their support for the Terry Fox Foundation, and the faculty were right there with them (this was the second lap for these two).
Organized by the Community Service Captains, Anjuli and Hasti, and lead through the pre and post activities by the House Captains, Tianna, Talya and the Emmas, it was a great event that brought the whole school together. Again this year, Grade 11s and 12s were paired with buddies from Grades 1-3, and those little ones kept the seniors on their toes. This year, the school raised $2500 for the cause.
