Good morning Falcons! Today is our Terry Fox School Run! We probably all know someone who has had cancer. A grandparent, family friend, neighbour, even a classmate. One of the reasons cancer is so cruel is that it doesn’t just make you feel sick. It can make you feel scared and hopeless. Even when your treatment is successful, you live in fear for the rest of your life that it could come back. So today, on our last day to donate, know that YOU are making a difference. YOU are showing our entire community that you care and that there’s hope! YOU are part of Terry’s dream for a world without cancer. Please give your final donations to your homeroom teacher this morning. Thank you.
Attention Staff and Students – if you forgot to bring in your donation for the Terry Fox event, you can stop by the front foyer at lunch where Student Council will have the debit machine available.
The Level 100 Band meets tonight from 2:30 to 3:30 pm. We are just getting things rolling, so this a great time to join.
Trivia Team practice is today at lunch in room 271. We’re gearing up for Saturday’s Tournament!
The Jr. Football team won a nailbiter on Friday 26-21 over a tough Lasalle team. Josef Blanchette, Braylin Mark and Jack Scotter all scored their first high school touchdowns while Ryder Laramie rounded out the scoring. The defense came up huge when they needed to and was lead by Cooper Brule who had a forced fumble, a fumble recovery and 7 tackles. Gage Snyder recorded his first career interception in the victory.
FALCONS Sr. FOOTBALL WITH ANOTHER BIG WIN! Congratulations to the Frontenac Senior Falcons Football Team, who picked up another impressive victory, defeating LaSalle 44–13! The Falcons came ready to play and put together a strong performance on offence and defense. Touchdowns were scored by Henry Casterton, Declan Cowan, Jack Day, and Peter Song, as the Falcons offence continued to put points on the board throughout the game. The defence also had another strong performance, making big stops and keeping the pressure on LaSalle all game long. A great team effort and another big win for the Falcons!
Congratulations to the Field Hockey team who continued their winning streak last Friday with wins over Sydenham and LCVI. The team worked seamlessly together to keep play in the opponent's end and racked up an impressive number of short corners! The key 1-0 victory goal in the Sydenham game was scored by Abby C, and Delaney, Sofia and Marley split the decisive 3-0 win against LC. Next game is this Thursday against Ernestown at 3:30 at Caraco. Go Falcons!
As we approach September 30, the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation and Orange Shirt Day, we want to spend some time thinking and learning about Indigenous experiences in Canada. When we talk about Indigenous history in Canada, we sometimes hear mostly about what was done TO Indigenous peoples. But Indigenous history is not only a history of loss. It is also a history of strength, resistance, survival, leadership, and cultural continuity.
Indigenous resistance is the determination of Indigenous peoples to protect and maintain who they are—despite efforts to control or erase them. The children who were sent to residential schools were often punished for speaking their languages or practicing their cultures. Yet many Survivors carried their languages, memories, teachings, and identities forward. Families and communities have worked to preserve what residential schools attempted to take away. For generations, First Nations, Inuit, and Métis peoples have resisted and continue to do so today in a variety of ways, such as defending land and water, challenging policies, and insisting that Indigenous voices be heard.
So today, let’s remember that Indigenous peoples are not simply part of Canada's past. First Nations, Inuit, and Métis peoples are here today. Indigenous languages, cultures, art, music, traditions, communities, and leadership continue to grow and contribute to Canada.

Falcons, yesterday we talked about the Indigenous strength and resistance that helped to protect and maintain their identity. And today, let’s listen. Let’s listen to the words of the late Honorable Murray Sinclair who was the chair of Canada's Truth and Reconciliation Commission. The TRC spent years listening to more than 7,000 experiences of residential school Survivors and families, including Phyllis Webstad’s story of her orange shirt.
Sinclair said: “Education is what got us into this mess, and education will get us out.” Think about that statement for a moment. Education was used as part of a system that attempted to assimilate Indigenous children and separate them from their families, languages, cultures, and communities. But Sinclair also believed that education could help Canadians understand history and contribute to reconciliation. That means that what we learn matters. It matters whose stories we hear. It matters whose voices we listen to. And it matters what we do with what we learn.
Sinclair also reminded Canadians that: “The next step, reconciliation, is achieved ONLY by acting differently.” So tomorrow, let’s show our desire to act differently by wearing orange for Orange Shirt Day, but let's also think beyond what we wear. Let's remember. Let’s listen. Let's learn. And let's think about our actions and how we can treat one another with greater respect.
