MAY 5th is Red Dress Day. A day to remember and honour missing and murdered Indigenous women, girls, two-spirit and 2SLGBTQIA+ peoples. Red Dress Day serves as a painful reminder of the need to recognize and address the violence still faced by many in Canada.

May 5-11 is Mental Health Week. This year’s theme is unmasking Mental Health. We encourage open conversations about mental wellbeing, emphasize the importance of self-care and challenge misconceptions and biases about mental health and illness. Mental health is just as important as physical health.

The AP Exam schedule has been posted on the office window, by the student Notices. Please check with Mr. Banta if you any questions or concerns. The library will be closed this week for exams.

A big congratulations to McMath’s representatives of our Student Vote – who participated today in a CBC radio interview! Thank you to the team; Tai H, Nicole Y, Natasha K, Cora K, CJ C and Ms. L.
