In an era where almost everything is typed, swiped, and auto-corrected, a handwritten essay feels almost radical. That is precisely why our Principal, Ms. Shannon Pipes, launched the essay writing competition for students in Grades 6 to 9, inviting them to write about a thought-provoking question each week, and this time it's about Identity & Belonging, explored in the students' own words.

This is the first in an ongoing series, stay tuned for more student reflections in the weeks ahead.
