What's New

​On August 17th, 2017, the Ministry of Health and Long Term Care announced that HPV9 vaccine will replace the HPV4 vaccine for grade 7 students. The HPV4 vaccine provides protection against four strains of HPV while the HPV9 vaccine will provide protection against these four strains and an additional five strains of HPV.

HPV4 vaccine will no longer be offered and the Region of Peel requires your consent to immunize your child for HPV9. Please note, this information only applies to grade 7 students. Please complete the following consent form from Region of Peel,Region of Peel HPV-9 Letter, and provide it to school.

Completed consents will be given to Peel Public Health Nurses who will give the vaccines at clinics held in our school this school year.

View the Fact Sheet HPV-9 for more details on the HPV disease and HPV9 vaccine.

For more information, visit www.peelregion.ca/immunization/ or talk to a Peel Public Health Nurse at 905-799-7700. Caledon residents can call toll free at (905) 584-2216.

​Note: If you have already spoken to a Peel Public Health Nurse and provided verbal consent for HPV9, please disregard this notice.  

​Good morning Centennial!

On September 13, 1981, the first Terry Fox Run was held at over 760 sites in Canada.

In 1992, the first international runs were held and included countries such as Poland, the Philippines, Zimbabwe, Malaysia and Kuwait. 

Now, every year, millions of people in more than 25 countries participate in the National School Run Day and Terry Fox fundraising events.

Remember to bring in your donation before next Thursday to your homeroom teacher. 

Stay tuned at 12:15 for the next quiz question!

Senior Boys Soccer Team members with permission forms for the soccer tournament can drop them off to Mr. Leonforde in room 109 at 11:10 am today.

Mr. Leonforde​

Do you like to sing? Why not join the Centennial choir? No auditions are necessary.  All grades are welcome.  Come to room 103 in the Pod every day 4 at lunch recess.  Our first meeting is tomorrow in room 103 at 11:10. Please bring paper and pencil or your device with you tomorrow. See you then!

Ms. Ramsay, Mr. Persad and Ms. Butt​

​There will be signup for cross country today at lunch recess in room 121 (Ms. Glenn's room).  All tryout and practice dates will be given during the meeting.   If you cannot make it please see Ms. Glenn. 

Recent statistics show that on average, 524 Canadians will be diagnosed with cancer every day. Survival rates have increased from 56% to 63% for all cancers combined over the last 20 years. It is very important that we continue to support the Terry Fox run so that new breakthroughs can continue. A toonie per student and adult isn't asking much, but it does give a lot. Please remember to bring in your toonie, or better yet; bring in the same amount as your age!

Remember to stay tuned at 12:15 for the Terry Fox Quiz Question of the day!

Thanks, 

Mme Chard and Mrs. Singh

Terry Fox Announcement

P1 = person one

P2 =  person two

P1 - Have you got any change in your pocket?

P2 - Sure. I have a loonie, a toonie and some quarters. How much do you need?

P1 - Wait - let me see that. Who is this on the loonie?

P2 - That's one of the greatest Canadians -Terry Fox. He started running across the country to raise money for cancer research. He wanted everyone in Canada to donate a loonie. On the 25th anniversary of the Run in 2005, they put his image on the loonie.

P1 - Neat. Can I have it?

P2 - No way! I'm donating this one and my toonie to the Terry Fox Run at school.

I was cleaning out my closet and was overwhelmed by the number of shoes I have! Like Terry Fox, I have shoes for baseball, soccer, and basketball.

Terry also ran track before he was diagnosed with cancer at 16 years old. Terry didn't give up but decided to embark on a dream run across Canada. He only needed one shoe on his prosthetic foot for his entire run, but he went through 8 shoes on his left foot.

Be sure to pay attention to today's quiz question. It will be read during homeroom!
