Hi Rams! Coming up very soon are the Student Council Elections, a yearly event allowing you to vote for various roles and people for the next school year. The positions up for election are president, senior VP, junior VP, info officer, media officer, grade representatives, equity & diversity officer and school spirit officer. The voting will be held on May 12 to 13 and every role except grade representatives must give a speech in front of the grade elevens, tens and nines. You can only vote for one person for every position but it is different for grade representatives. You can only vote for your grade representative, for example I will be voting for our next grade 10 rep because I will be in grade 10 during the 2025 to 2026 school year. Also, you can also vote for two people for the academic grade reps but only one candidate can be chosen for the IB rep.

Easter is one of the most important holidays for many Christians around the world. It celebrates the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, a moment that symbolizes hope, renewal, and new life. Easter falls in spring, a season already tied to growth and new beginnings, which is why symbols like eggs, rabbits, and flowers are often part of the celebration.

Here is everything to know about the Sago study cafe that was held in the library on Friday! It was hosted on May the 2nd, on the left side of the library, and many drinks were sold for $3 each. The vibrant menu included Matcha Latte Sago, Strawberry Sago, as well as Mango Sago. This study cafe was made possible by the teamwork of our very own mindful club and cafe club! The clubs that previously held events like therapy dogs, board game cafe, Christmas cookie decorating, bake sales, gingerbread house contests, and many more! Although it is rare to have joint events, this one was brilliantly planned, and perfectly matched! Attending a preorganized cafe like this can be highly beneficial for your mood, productivity, overall studying, and even your stomach. Even if you aren’t studying, it is still a great opportunity to rest up and enjoy some time with friends in a peaceful environment. Perhaps maybe the Matcha Latte Sago is just what you need to get through studying for your math test! Or maybe even a switch in study environment will spark your work ethic again! If you missed this cafe, don’t fret as there is more to come, but be sure to look out on instagram @strcafeclub and @mindful.str. That is all for today, and I hope you all have a wonderful day!
