Principal's Message
F.H.Collins is a vibrant and exciting community, filled with learning and so many more activities! Our volleyball teams had a great trip to Dawson, with admirable finishes; the championships promise to be exciting! Cranberry foraging and hide camp have come and gone, but snow activities are just beginning! Mid-term reports are coming home – more on that further on in this newsletter.
These teenage school years encompass so much more than academic learning; every day we emphasize life skills of responsibility, caring, appropriate language, appropriate reactions to being angry, and the benefits of being involved in a community. Thank you to families for your help with these same skills at home. Our students have shown social responsibility this month in so many ways: visiting the food bank, working with Yukon Connects, and clearing up the forest area around the school. We commemorated Remembrance Day on November 10.
We look forward to seeing many of you for student-parent-teacher conferences, and also for our Jamie Shaw Memorial tournament!! This school year is flying by – let’s make every minute count!
