Student Athletic Council will host a fundraising Haunted House in the Gym during A and C lunch. Please support them if you can.

Also, as mentioned last week, the We Scare Hunger Campaign continues this week. Please bring in non-perishable food items for the Markham Food Bank.

There are a number of Halloween activities taking place this week. Stay tuned to announcements and your homeroom reps for details.

Please be aware that next week - Tuesday November 5, there is a Grade 8 / IB Open House. If you are interested in having a student attend Father McGivney, this is a great night to gather information.
