Locker clean out on Thursday March 12

 Bring a BIG bag please and take all unnecessary items home

Important: Grad Photo information

 

Wednesday March 11, 2026

My only tip for students would be to come prepared.  We suggest a white collared shirt for the young gentlemen and for 


the ladies a white collared shirt but also a white rounded neck for a shirt works nicely too.  If the boys want a tie we recommend they bring one from home.  


Tips from the photographer for Grad Photos 

Students please prepare for your photos.   Bright Pics suggest a white collared shirt for the young gentlemen and for the ladies a white collared shirt but also a white rounded neck for a shirt works nicely too. If anyone wishes to wear a tie, we recommend they bring one from home and advise the photographer.  
We take four photos and the first photo is the one that goes on the composite (and in the yearbook) so we highly suggest a smile!!!
Students are reminded to bring their composite money on photo day but late envelopes we will accept too.  
It will be a great day!   
Say cheese!

Thank you,
Kathy

The Acadians - 8A, 8C History

 The Acadians were forcibly deported by the British between 1755 and 1764 during the Seven Years' War, a period known as the Grand Dérangement (Great Upheaval). Over 10,000–18,000 Acadians were removed from their maritime homes because they refused to take an unqualified oath of allegiance to Britain, scattering them across the Thirteen Colonies, Britain, France, and eventually Louisiana, where many became Cajuns. Thousands died from disease, shipwreck, and starvation during this forced exile.

Key Aspects of the Acadian Deportation:
  • The Cause: British officials in Nova Scotia, led by Governor Charles Lawrence, feared the neutral French-speaking Catholic population would support France, and coveted their fertile farmlands
    .
  • The Process: Beginning in 1755, soldiers burned homes, farms, and churches, separating families and forcing them onto ships.
  • Destinations:
    • Thirteen Colonies: Many were sent to the Atlantic coast, where they faced28 persecution.
    • France & Britain: Thousands were sent to Europe.
    • Louisiana: Many later migrated to Louisiana, evolving into the Cajun culture.
  • Return: After 1764, many surviving Acadians returned to the Maritime provinces, particularly New Brunswick, where their descendants live today.
