Dear Henry Wise Wood Families: Please forward to your child's primary email. Thank you to our leadership students for organizing Spirit Week and a variety of engaging lunch activities throughout the past week. Through accessible themes such as autumn colours, jersey day, pajamas, twin day, and Halloween costumes, students and staff had opportunities to build school pride and strengthen connections. The engagement, creativity, and participation on display throughout the week reflected the strong sense of belonging and school spirit that makes our Warrior community so special. Be sure to visit our Instagram page for photos and highlights from the week. Good luck to our volleyball and football teams as they begin their playoff journeys. We are proud of the effort and sportsmanship our student athletes have demonstrated throughout the season and wish them continued success in the playoff series ahead.
