Dear Families,
What a wonderful week at Emily Carr Secondary School! From the Terry Fox Walk to Senior Sunrise and Camp Coyote, it was inspiring to see our community come together in such a positive way. A huge thank you to all the amazing staff and students who made these events possible. The energy, enthusiasm, and teamwork truly made the week shine!
As we head into next week, let’s continue to make good decisions and show respect for our community and shared spaces. Together, we make our school a place we’re all proud to be part of.
