We are so proud of our Thunderstomp Committee and participating students for raising an incredible $18,871 in support of the Almonte Hospital’s Obstetrics and Birthing Unit. Way to go, Bolts!

On Wednesday, we celebrated another outstanding year of Almonte Thunderbolts athletics at our 2026 Athletic Banquet. The evening recognized the dedication, commitment, and achievements of our student-athletes, coaches, volunteers, and supporters who helped make this year such a success. Among the many highlights were OFSAA appearances by our Mixed Tennis Team, Boys Alpine Ski Team, and Senior Boys Basketball Team, as well as three new school track and field records that were set this season.

Special recognition goes to our major award winners:

Junior Female Athlete of the Year: Mya B
Junior Male Athlete of the Year: Corwin B
Senior Female Athlete of the Year: Gabrielle C
Senior Male Athlete of the Year: Adam L
Norine Duhn Award for Coaching and Community Involvement: Adam L & Cole C
June Dalgity Award for Sportsmanship: Finley B & Noel R

FOR FAMILIES of 2026 Graduates

General notes about Commencement:

Gym doors will open for seating at 10:00 am. The ceremony starts at 11:00 am sharp. Graduates, donors, staff and presenters have reserved seating at the front.

If a parent or sibling has mobility issues and requires special seating, please let Mrs. Kristine Pettipas know. [email protected]

This is a very large graduating class. We ask that families are mindful of the limited seating and, as much as possible, only immediate family attend. Extended family and friends can watch a live feed on our page.

Students will be called up to the stage in groups for both awards and diplomas. Parents are welcome to come close to the stage to take pictures of their students when their student's award group is called. We will also have a staff member taking photos the event and these photos will be available on Facebook following the event.

Students will return to the Learning Commons following the ceremony to sign for their diplomas and pick up monetary awards.

There will be refreshments for students and families in our Learning Commons following the ceremony as well. All are welcome!

IMPORTANT: Students who earn awards valued at $500.00 or more MUST confidentially provide their SIN numbers for tax purposes before receiving their cheques. This is UCDSB policy. All students should bring their SIN numbers as the award recipients are very diverse. If you have questions, please contact Mrs. Swrjeski or Mr. Dalgity.

The school building will be closed all summer due to construction as of the end of the day on June 26th. Accessing your awards after Commencement day will be difficult. Office staff will be working out of Naismith Memorial Public School if follow up is required.

This past month, Mme. St. John’s classes have been driving into golf and rallying through tennis—clearly having a ball and staying well above par 🎾⛳️
