The Vanier Hockey Academy students successfully completed their coaching sessions for Kid's Sport.

Code Orange for Humanities
Humanities 8 students are reading the book Code Orange by Caroline B. Cooney. It is a suspenseful and thrilling story about a teenage boy, Mitty, living in New York City. Researching for a school project, Mitty discovers smallpox scabs and thinks he may have inhaled some of the dust from the scabs. In the process, Mitty also starts to attract some unwanted attention from the CDC (Centers for Disease Control) and terrorist groups. Does Mitty have smallpox? Will his friends be able to help him? You'll have to read to find out.
