To see some of the goings-on at Stewarttown, please visit our calendar at ste.hdsb.ca and scroll to the bottom.

A Message from Student Parliament:

Valentine’s Candy Grams will be available for students to purchase and delight their friends.  Sales start Monday February 2. Each candy gram is $1 and students can purchase up to 10 for their friends. We will be collecting cash during the eating portion of breaks. They will be delivered to students on Thursday February 5th. Save your loonies!

The Valentine’s Dance will take place on Friday February 6 during periods 4 & 5. Students are encouraged to dress in red/white or pink.  A games room will be available and students attending are encouraged to bring games from home.  This is a "tech free" zone. We will be selling snacks at our snack bar, so students are asked to bring small change.  

Money raised for the above two events will help fund the Stewarttown school-wide end-of-year trip to help reduce overall costs.

Stewarttown Mascot Donation

William Lachuta Jr., the grandfather of Stewarttown alumni, Austin and Isla, is a local cardboard artist who lives at the Bennett Centre here in Georgetown. This past week, we received an invitation from him to visit and view the artwork he created for us. His gift to Stewarttown is a 4 foot, 3d skillfully made cardboard creation of our Stinger Bee holding a yearbook. It is remarkable, inventive, and it puts a smile on everyone who sees it.  We’ve decided to name it Bill after the artist himself. Mr. Lachuta has made several different pieces for many locations in the community including other  schools, the fire hall, the Bennett Centre, the hospital and others. Bill, The Stinger Bee is now in its new home and on display in our library. Thank you, Mr. Lachuta, for fabricating such a conversation piece and revitalizing our Stinger Bee!

Spoons & Forks 

 A friendly reminder to ensure these are packed for lunches.
