Opportunity Fair!

The Opportunity Fair will be on December 7th next week.  Grade 10's will be called down about 1:00 pm.  Instead of an assembly that day you will have small group sessions with the various schools and organizations.  You will be able to sign up for the session that interests you the most.  There will be an assignment to go along with the fair that you must do, attendance is also mandatory!
