It's Fire Prevention Week October 6th to the 11th and our students are learning about smoke alarms. Having smoke alarms in your home is very important. Smoke alarms let you know when there is a fire. Working smoke alarms give you time to escape your home and stay outside. You can find more information and fun activities at Sparky.org

The Elementary Soccer Season kicked off this week with a pair of exciting contests. On Tuesday. the Eel Ground First Nation School Eagles played their season opener at St. Andrews School in Chatham. The Eagles battled hard for the entire 50 minutes, but ultimately came up short 5-0. Rodney Hanifan and Kohen Simonson stood tall in goal for the Eagles. Coach Somers was thrilled with their effort by all his players in their first game. On Thursday, the Eagles ventured to Millerton to challenge the Bears. The tide swung back and forth many times in this nail-biter.
