WE Day!

Ashern Cenrtal School had 12 Senior Years and 45 Middle Years students participate in WE Day this year! WE Day is all about making a difference and the students at ACS are taking action to be the change.

Currently, the grades 5-8 classes are trying to collect Non-Perishable goods for WE SCARE HUNGER. Our new Senior Years group STAAACS (Students Taking Action At Ashern Central School) are first making a change locally by organizing and planning a school activity on Halloween. The activity is STAAACS take on Stephen Covey’s Seventh Habit (Sharpening the Saw) of “Seven Habits of Highly Effective People“.

Terry Fox Run!

Our annual Terry Fox run took place September 28th/2017. The school set out a goal to raise $2000 this year through donations, lunch sales, baking sales and t-shirt sales. We came extremely close to our goal coming in at $1611

.

A huge shout out goes to Mrs. Lowery for organizing this event! A major thanks those who helped make this event a great success including the grade 9’s for preparing the lunch/baking, parents who helped with the contributions/baking, the grade 12’s who did an excellent job at setting up all of the water stations along the run and all of the staff who helped organize/supervise/prep the event!

Working together as a community, Ashern Central School was able to raise $1611 from the BBQ, selling t-shirts and the bake sale!
