Gemma and Sidney also competed as a Unified team, and won 2 gold, 2 silver and a bronze! In addition to the impressive results, so many schools commented on how well these athletes represented our school with kindness and positivity.&nbsp;</span></p><p class="editor-paragraph"><img src="/images/31937ab7-c587-41fe-b5d1-878512903b57?fingerprint=ppb20260605200006" alt="CFEA4C99 1EBF 40EB 9328 9A590B003139" width="666" height="726" style="width:666px;height:726px;display:inline-block"></p><p class="editor-paragraph"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">Our Varsity girls rugby team will be playing for an OFSSA medal on Saturday, June 6th.

Students were given the opportunity to learn about the ruggedness of the Canadian Shield and enjoy the terrain safely from the water.

Students will be getting an email with a list of books that they have outstanding. Grade 12 students should have already received a paper copy of this list. This will include textbooks as well as library books. If students need to keep their textbooks in order to study for their exams,&nbsp; they will bring their textbooks and return them at their exam. Students who forget to bring their textbooks to their exams will be expected to return them to the main office the following day.&nbsp; If there are any questions, concerns or errors regarding the books signed out to students, they should come talk to Ms. Purbhoo in the Library Learning Commons as soon as possible.&nbsp; Amnesty will be given for all books that belong to Frontenac and Acadie as well.</span></p><p class="editor-paragraph" style="text-align: start;"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">Students are also able to return computers to the library if they are not needed for the rest of the school year and they do not anticipate needing them based on course selections for next year. For students that have computers and do anticipate needing them for next year, we are asking families to store them safely at home for the summer and to perform system updates during the last week of August to have them ready for school in September. Any questions related to school board computers can be forwarded to Mark McKenna at mckennam@limestone.on.ca.</span></p><h2 class="editor-heading-h2"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">FSS Computing</span></h2><p class="editor-paragraph"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">On June 1, we sent 18 students to participate in Sydenham High School’s inaugural SHS Hack-A-Thon event, the first hackathon within our board. At this year’s event, students were challenged to address the negative impact of increasing smartphone use on Canadian youth. Students then had the entire day to come up with a tech solution to help with the problem. This was an opportunity for them to collaborate, be creative, and apply technical skills across a variety of domains. In teams of 2 to 5 members, our students brainstormed, programmed, improvised, created artwork, and presented their apps or games to a panel of judges from industry and academia. Some students also took the chance to network and form new friendships with like-minded people from other teams. </span></p><p class="editor-paragraph"><img src="/images/e44d9b86-d74b-4ae9-88be-01b6eb492691?fingerprint=ppb20260605120005" alt="IMG 20260601 114555165" width="732" height="549" style="width:732px;height:549px;display:inline-block"></p><p class="editor-paragraph"><img src="/images/e109320c-3818-41e0-afbe-4c160878ceed?fingerprint=ppb20260605120005" alt="IMG 20260601 133010266 HDR" width="751" height="563" style="width:751px;height:563px;display:inline-block"></p><p class="editor-paragraph"><img src="/images/05d2dc1e-d4fe-4027-a616-8f40b6e2d3bf?fingerprint=ppb20260605130006" alt="Group" width="802" height="409" style="width:802px;height:409px;display:inline-block"></p><h2 class="editor-heading-h2"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">Triboard</span></h2><p class="editor-paragraph" style="text-align: start;"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">The submission deadline to have applications processed for the first day of school is&nbsp;</span><b><strong class="editor-text-bold" style="white-space: pre-wrap;">August 5, 2026.</strong></b><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">&nbsp; </span></p><p class="editor-paragraph" style="text-align: start;"><img src="/images/6d6e4dbb-7640-463a-8b14-d5e43958b132?fingerprint=ppb20260424173933"&fingerprint=ppb20260424173933 alt="Tri Board Deadline2026" width="437" height="327" style="boxSizing:border-box;borderStyle:none;height:327px;maxWidth:100%;objectFit:cover;display:inline-block;width:437px"></p><h2 class="editor-heading-h2" style="text-align: start;"><b><strong class="editor-text-bold" style="white-space: pre-wrap;">Summer Session</strong></b></h2><p class="editor-paragraph" style="text-align: start;"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">Registration for Summer Session is open!

We encourage all families to read the schedule. If you note that your student has a conflict (two exams during the same time) please see Ms. Bonney Morris-Pocock or Mr McKenna to resolve the conflict. With the release of the exam schedule, the school year is officially picking up speed. With only 15 instructional days left before grade 12 exams, the light at the end of the tunnel is getting much brighter. The band trip to Canada's Wonderland was a tremendous success and the focus for the arts will shift to the final concert and year end arts banquet. Our athletes continue to impress in the spring season as well. Track athletes are posting personal best times and distances, the rugby teams steadily improved all season, soccer and ultimate narrowly missed out on advancing for city and provincial championships and baseball is currently undefeated in KASSAA play. At grade forums last week, the central themes of kindness and respect for the community were emphasized as well as to finish the school year strong.

The girls showed tremendous grit and defensive tenacity against a KSS team that possessed the ball for the majority of the game. However, when FSS did get the ball, their speed and skill was on full display. FSS speed and skill was on full display in the opening seconds of the match as Jenna Martin scored a try that saw her kick the ball twice and outrun the Bears defence to score a sensational opening try. With the game tied at 12 with a few minutes left, Delaney Brule followed up on a brilliant run from Olivia Kyte to score the go ahead try. Best of luck to the girls who travel to Lindsay for OFSAA June 4-6. Well done Falcons!</span></p><p class="editor-paragraph"><img src="/images/9562cd80-ac6d-4b56-92f7-8637e58d7f9f?fingerprint=ppb20260522162522" alt="IMG 6324" width="981" height="397" style="width:981px;height:397px;display:inline-block"></p><p class="editor-paragraph"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">Athletic Banquet</span></p><p class="editor-paragraph" style="text-align: start;"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">Mark your calendars!
