It is getting colder out there, Flames. Let's try to help keep people warm in our community. Throughout the month of November, please bring any cold weather gear that you are not using to the racks and bins outside of the chapel. Coats, hats, mitts, and scarves would be greatly appreciated! We are also collecting new socks, hand warmers and blankets. Items should be clean and in good condition. Thanks for your support!

Attention all junior and senior football players. Our year end banquet is on the evening of Tuesday December 3 starting at 6:30. All player meals were included in their player fee.

It is estimated that women pay approximately $60 per year on period products. However, this can range dramatically depending on the individual or how many others they are supporting. It is then estimated that women will pay approximately $6000 over their lifetime on these products, with prices going as high as $45 a box. There is nothing simple or cheap about these necessities and yet people continue to overlook the severity of this issue. Women not only in Canada, but around the world face period poverty due to these inflated prices. That is why STA is partnering with Tampon Tuesday and the Food Bank to supply pads and tampons to those who are struggling to afford them in addition to their other needs. By donating $2 through school cash online you will be able to wear off uniform on November 29th, that is next Friday. With additional donations your name will be placed onto ballets to win prizes!! Thank you flames and don't miss out!!
