ROSS REPORT
November 9-13, 2026
Principal’s Message
We enjoyed another week of beautiful autumn weather here at Ross to kick off the first week of November! Earlier today, we held our Celebration Assembly to honour our October Character Trait: Respect. It was wonderful to come together and celebrate the students who consistently demonstrated respect throughout the month. As part of our October learning, our school community also focused on Truth and Reconciliation, deepening our understanding of Indigenous culture, history, and perspectives.
As we move into November, our new Character Trait of the Month is Integrity—doing the right thing and giving your best effort, even when no one is watching. Throughout this month, students will be learning about integrity and setting personal goals to practice it daily both inside and outside the classroom.
Trivia Night Playground Fundraiser
A heartfelt thank you to our incredible community partners who organized a special fundraising night in support of our new playground campaign! We extend our sincere gratitude to Lisa Mooney from the Welland Museum, Kelly and the Bridgewater Team, our helpful staff and community volunteers, and especially Jodi Cupolo, who led the organization of the event. Thanks to their hard work, over $3,500 was raised for our Playground Fund. What a wonderful kick-off!
