Dear QEHS Parents and Guardians,
Congratulations to all four of our junior high volleyball teams for making the finals this week. I also wish to congratulate all our impressive scientists in grades 7-12 who participated in our school science fair this week. Good luck to those moving on to the city science fair. Finally, I wish to thank Mme. Bourdages and all our high school and grade 9 French students for coordinating and leading this year's Winter Festival. Grade seven students engaged in activities inspired by Carnaval de Quebec including drumming led by Indigenous artists, enjoying sweet treats from the sugar shack and square dancing- Tres Bien and way to go Knights!
Reminder that our School Council Meeting is scheduled for Monday, March 16 in the Learning Commons or online at 7pm. A full agenda and link will be sent home on Monday to refresh your memory in hopes that we have many parents/guardians joining us. At this meeting, parents/guardians will be invited to provide feedback on school planning for 2026.
Have a restful weekend.
Sincerely,
Jennifer Edmondson-Neily
Principal
