Good day out there, South Nelson Community.

Thank you to Ms. Douglas for this week's Weekly Update message to share some of the community-building work done this fall by our Student Council.

This month, our Fall Student Council group organized 2 separate glow dance parties – one for the primary students and one for theintermediate students.  These dances were held during lunch hour – complete with fun dance lights and Halloween decorations.  We asked fordonations to the SPCA, and raised $81.85.  Next month, we are planning afun school spirit dress-up day. Watch for more information to come!
