Our school came together and hit the streets of our village today for the annual Terry Fox Run, taking big strides in the fight against cancer. A huge shoutout to the Acme School Grade 4-6 classes for joining us in this meaningful event.

What an incredible show of support! Thank you to each and every one of you who generously contributed to the Terry Fox Run. Together, as a school community, we’ve managed to raise an outstanding $658.55 for this important cause.

TroVal Jays Sr. Girls played their first tournament of the season. The girls really came together as a team. There was some excellent leadership from the team veterans and some serious determination from the rookies. On Saturday, the Jays had two games, back to back, that had to go into a third set, to determine the winner. They played so many close matches, they came out victorious in all but two. The team played three games right after each other, the third being the bronze medal match. Durin
