I want to end this week's principal message by stating that our hearts go out to the victims of the tragedy that occurred this week in Tumbler Ridge, BC. For me Tumbler Ridge was a regular feature of my childhood, playing hockey, friends, and events, growing up in Chetwynd about an hour away. I also know that some of you may have questions about how we work to keep students safe. Please as always feel free to reach out regarding this or anything else by calling the school at 780-325-3858 or emailing me at alanstoy@gypsd.ca
Sincerely,
Alan Stoyles
Principal
