Week at a Glance- Sept. 18 to Sept. 22
Hello Storrington Stingers,
We hope that all of our Stingers had a great weekend!
Please see the information below in this week’s Week at a Glance.
International Week of Deaf People
During the week of September 18 to September 22, our Storrington Stingers will recognize the International Week of Deaf People. The theme for this year’s International Week of Deaf People is Building Inclusive Communities for All. On Friday, September 22, we will recognize the International Day of Sign Languages. This year’s theme is A World Where Deaf People Everywhere Can Sign Anywhere.
This week, lessons and activities will be dedicated to recognizing and bringing awareness about the Deaf community and to promote the human rights of Deaf people
Terry Fox Run
On Friday, September 22, our Stingers will be participating in the Terry Fox Run. We encourage our Stingers to bring in donations to help find a cure for cancer. Terry started and it is our job to carry on his legacy and work towards finding a cure.
Last year we raised $575.60 and this year have set a goal of raising $1000. We know we can do it Stingers!
Students can bring their donations to the school or their families can donate online at

Our Junior Boys will be participating on Monday, September 18, our Junior Girls will be participating on Tuesday, September 19 and our Senior Boys will be participating on Thursday, September 21. Good luck to all our Stinger soccer players!
Late Buses
At times, our school buses are late to pick up students in the morning or are late getting to school to pick up students at the end of the day. If your child’s bus is late, please visit www.triboard.ca and click on Delays and Cancellations to check on the status of your child’s bus. As well, you can visit the school’s Twitter account, as we will try to tweet out any late bus information.
Corn Roast/Open House/Storrington School Council
We are very excited to once again host our annual Corn Roast and Open House. Please mark Thursday, September 28 on your calendars. The Corn Roast and Open House will begin at 5:00 and end at 6:30. Our Storrington School Council will hold their first meeting of the school year, starting after the Corn Roast/Open House at 6:30.
