In order to keep the Stoney Creek Community better informed, we will be providing a week at a glance for each week to feature events that families might need reminders about and to keep everyone up-to-date on what’s happening each week. At the bottom, we will include large upcoming school-wide events and community programs to keep your eyes open for.
Lost and Found – We are still looking for the owner of an Apple watch and hoodie left behind at the Teacher vs Grade 7 Volleyball game. Please see Ms. Spartano in the office if it’s yours.
