This week is Literacy Week at Sperling so we will be having some special events around the school to celebrate and promote literacy.

Pink Shirt Day is Wednesday February 26th. Please consider wearing a pink shirt to show your support for the victims of bullying.

On January 28th students in division 5 had the opportunity to  participate in a Zoom call with astronaut Chris Hadfield where he answered questions from students across Canada. We appreciate him sharing his experiences with us.

On December 10th division 5 will participate in the Hour of Code, a worldwide event that aims to introduce millions of students to computer science through one-hour coding activities. We have been working on coding in ADST so students will be able to put their skills to the test.
