Salaam Chargers! The MSA would like to wish all those observing the month of Ramadan a Ramadan Mubarak! Today marks the first day of Ramadan, based on the sighting of the moon. During Ramadan, Muslims fast from sunrise to sunset by abstaining from food and drink completely. Ramadans is a holy month of fasting and gives Muslims the opportunity to reflect on how they can spend their time more meaningfully, whether it be through prayer or introspection. This month gives a chance to re-evaluate and re-calibrate ourselves personally as well as in society. Muslims are often encouraged to increase their generosity during the month by donating and helping out more than they regularly do. Ramadan is celebrated as the month during which the prophet Muhammad received the initial revelations of the Quran, the holy book for Muslims. Fasting is one of the five fundamental principles of Islam and many Muslims look forward to it. Once again we wish all those observing a happy and blessed month. Ramadan Mubarak!

The MSA will have a club meeting in room 2015 at the start of lunch today. We will continue to plan for our upcoming event, the iftar. For all those volunteering it is mandatory you show up to the meeting, if you would like to volunteer, feel free to join!

In 1975, the United Nations officially named March 8 as International Women’s Day, celebrating the social, economic, cultural, and political achievements of women, as well as bringing to light the many struggles that women around the world face today.

Today, Wednesday March 8th is Holi. Holi is also known as the Festival of Colours and is one of the GRANDEST and most popular celebrations amongst Hindu people in Canada. It is not an official public holiday, but it is being increasingly observed across the country. The Holi festival traditionally celebrates the victory of good over evil. In addition to its religious aspects, Holi also celebrates the end of winter and the arrival of spring. The holiday is officially celebrated on the full moon day of the month of Phalguna of the Hindu Calendar, meaning it usually falls in March on the Gregorian Calendar. In 2017, the Hindu festival of Holi was given special recognition by members of the Canadian parliament who took part in the celebrations themselves. But every year, Indo-Canadian communities across the country keep up this colourful Indian tradition. 

Holi is somewhat like New Year’s Eve in that people resolve to live better in the year ahead and to leave the worries of last year behind them. They also decorate their homes with bright colours, sing and dance in small groups in the streets, attend special Hindu services, and often throw colourful chalk powder at one another. GW wishes everyone celebrating ---- a Happy Holi!

March is Bangladeshi Heritage Month. Ontario is home to a large and vibrant Bangladeshi community. Bangladeshi Canadians from across the province have made significant contributions to Ontario's scientific, athletic, cultural and political development, and they continue to help foster growth, prosperity, and innovation throughout Ontario. The month of March is an important one for the Bangladeshi community. Every year on March 26th, Bangladeshis around the world celebrate Independence Day in commemoration of their nation gaining independence in 1971. This day is often marked with music, parades, fairs, and various other public and private gatherings held to celebrate the history and traditions of Bangladesh. By proclaiming the month of March as Bangladeshi Heritage Month in Ontario, the province honours the many significant contributions Bangladeshi Canadians have made throughout the province, and highlights their important role in strengthening the multi-cultural fabric that keeps Ontario's communities strong.

Good morning Chargers, today marks the last day of Black History Month, but it is important that we all continue to take time to learn about Black history not only during February but throughout the year.

We are continuing to have issues with illegal parking in the school parking lots. Here are some important reminders: anyone who parks in our parking lot must register their vehicle with the main office by using the Parking Pass Request Form on the Student tab of the GW website. Students are only allowed to park in the front parking lot as the other parking lots are reserved for staff members. Having a parking pass does not guarantee you a parking spot. We recommend that you plan to arrive early (by 8:15 am) or that you walk/bike/carpool/take Oakville Transit to school. DO NOT PARK IN ILLEGAL PARKING ZONES and DO NOT PARK YOUR CAR IN FRONT OF THE SCHOOL IN THE FIRE ROUTE. Any vehicles parked illegally could be towed and fined. If you arrive in your car and cannot find a legal spot in the front parking lot, you will have to park on a side street and walk to the school. Do not park illegally. Thank you for your help in keeping everyone safe.

Good morning! This is an important announcement for any students who drive themselves to school. First, two reminders: anyone who parks in our parking lot must register their vehicle with the main office by using the Parking Pass Request Form on the Student tab of the GW website. Second: students are only allowed to park in the front parking lot as the other parking lots are reserved for staff members. Please remember that having a parking pass does not guarantee you a parking spot. Currently, the Town of Oakville parking lot at the park is closed for the winter and will not reopen until likely sometime in late April so we have fewer parking spots for students to use. We recommend that you either plan to arrive early (by 8:15 am) or that you walk/bike/carpool/take Oakville Transit to school. DO NOT PARK IN ILLEGAL PARKING ZONES and especially DO NOT PARK YOUR CAR IN FRONT OF THE SCHOOL IN THE FIRE ROUTE. This is especially dangerous and any vehicles parked illegally will be towed and fined. So, if you arrive in your car and cannot find a legal spot in the front parking lot, you will have to park on a side street and walk to the school. Please do not park illegally. Thank you for your help in keeping everyone safe.

Its founders asked the City of Toronto to have February formally called Black History Month. In 1979, the first-ever Canadian proclamation was issued by Toronto. In December 1995, the House of Commons officially recognized February as Black History Month in Canada following a motion by the honourable Dr. Jean Augustine, who was the first Black Canadian woman elected to Parliament. In February 2008, Senator Donald Oliver, the first Black man appointed to the Senate, introduced the Motion to Recognize Contributions of Black Canadians and February as Black History Month. It was adopted on March 4, 2008.

The photos are being taken on the stage in the lower cafeteria. To get into the photo area, enter through the stage door - this door is located across the hall from the main office. The photo retakes will occur between Period 1 and Period 3.   If any student had their student card made in the office, please get your photo taken today on the stage so you will be in the yearbook.

If you are interested in playing Rugby this semester, listen to the following announcement: Junior Boys - Meeting at lunch on Tuesday in the Gym.

Every February, people across Canada recognize Black History Month. During Black History Month, we celebrate the history and the many contributions of Black Canadians and their communities who have done so much to make Canada a great country. Black Canadians have been a part of shaping Canada’s identity since the arrival of Mathieu Da Costa, a navigator, and interpreter, who arrived in Canada in the early 1600s. The role of Black Canadians and their communities in Canada used to be ignored in Canada’s history. For the month of February, we will be sharing some information about Black Brilliance on our announcements.

The course selection deadline is fast approaching…the deadline is this Friday!  If you haven’t already submitted your courses please do so as soon as possible through myBlueprint.

Canada is the proud home of one of the world’s largest Tamil diasporas.  On October 5, 2016, the Government of Canada declared the month of January as National Tamil Heritage Month. It is meant to recognize the important contributions that Tamil Canadians have made to Canada’s social, economic, political, and cultural fabric, and to remember, celebrate, and educate future generations about the inspirational role that Tamil Canadians have played, and continue to play, in communities across the country. The month of January was chosen as it coincides with one of the most important celebrations for Canadians of Tamil heritage, the Thai Pongal harvest festival. Millions of Tamil people around the world celebrate Thai Pongal and offer thanks for an abundant harvest. The Thai Pongal day this year is on Saturday, January 14.

The 8 day Jewish celebration known as Hanukkah or Chanukah commemorates the rededication during the second century B.C. of the Second Temple in Jerusalem, where according to legend, Jews had risen up against their Greek-Syrian oppressors in the Maccabean Revolt.

Often called the Festival of Lights, the holiday is celebrated with the lighting of the menorah, traditional foods, games and gifts. This year Hanukkah is celebrated from December 18th to 26th. Happy Hanukkah Garth Webb!

Annually on this day, we remember the 14 young women who lost their lives at Polytechnique Montréal (Dec. 6, 1989) from an act of violent misogyny, and honour and remember all those we have lost to gender-based violence. As we mourn their loss and remember their lives, we reaffirm our commitment to taking action and fighting the hatred that led to this tragedy and the misogyny that still exists today. In Canada and around the world, women, girls and 2SLGBTQI+ individuals face unacceptable violence and discrimination. Working together, we can help prevent and address gender-based violence by remembering and learning from our past, listening to survivors, and speaking up against harmful behaviour. Dec. 6 falls within the 16 Days of Activism Against Gender-Based Violence.

We encourage you to fulfil this day by taking a minute to reflect about the situation in Palestine today.

·         Tell someone you trust – a teacher, coach, guidance counsellor, parent

·         Ask for help

Instead of ignoring a bullying incident, try:

·         Telling a teacher, coach, or counsellor

·         Move toward or next to the victim

·         Use your voice – and say “stop”

What should you do if you are the bully?

·         Talk to a teacher or counsellor

·         Think about how you would feel if someone bullied you

·         Consider your victim’s feelings – think before you act

Hey GWSS this week is Anti-Bullying Week! Some people think bullying is just part of growing up and a way for young people to learn to stick up for themselves but bullying can have long-term physical and psychological consequences. Some of these include: withdrawal from family and friends, shyness, panic attacks, not being able to sleep. If bullying isn’t stopped, it also hurts the bystanders, as well as the person who bullies others. Also, young adults who learn they can get away with violence and aggression continue to do so in adulthood. They have a higher chance of getting involved in dating aggression, sexual harassment, and criminal behaviour later in life. Stop Bullying Now! It has long term effects on not just the victim. Stop Bullying, it hurts!

Diwali, which for some also coincides with harvest and new year celebrations, is a festival of new beginnings and the triumph of good over evil and light over darkness for Hindus, Jains and Sikhs. This year, Diwali will be celebrated on October 24th, which is on Monday. The word Diwali comes from the Sanskrit word Deepavali, meaning "rows of lighted lamps". Each religion marks different historical events and stories. Hindus celebrate the return of deities Rama and Sita to Ayodhya after their 14-year exile. They also celebrate the day Mother Goddess Durga destroyed a demon called Mahisha. Sikhs particularly celebrate the release from prison of the sixth guru Hargobind Singh in 1619. But Sikhs celebrated the festival before this date. In fact, the foundation stone of the Golden Temple at Amritsar, the most holy place in the Sikh world, was laid on Diwali in 1577. The founder of Jainism is Lord Mahavira. During Diwali, Jains celebrate the moment he reached a state called Moksha (nirvana, or eternal bliss). Usually, houses, shops and public places are decorated with small oil lamps called diyas. People also visit their relatives, enjoy fireworks and sweets too. GW recognises that many of our students and families have been preparing for Diwali this coming Monday and would like to wish all those celebrating - a Happy Diwali!

In October, we celebrate Latin American Heritage Month, a time for us to recognize the valuable contributions that Latin American communities continue to make to Canada. A diverse and ever-growing part of our society, Canadians of Latin American heritage represent the strong, inclusive country that Canada has become. Here at home, members of the many Latin American communities have made a significant impact by sharing their vibrant cultures and traditions including music, dance, food and much more. Their contributions continue to help shape our country’s present and future, and we are better because of it. As we take the time to celebrate the impact of these diverse communities, we’re also given an opportunity to learn more about their rich history and traditions. This Saturday, the Living Arts Centre in Mississauga in conjunction with the Hispanic Canadian Arts and Cultural Association will feature Afro-Cuban musicians, Ecuadorian indigenous musicians and Colombian musicians. This event will highlight the best of Latin culture in the GTA from 6pm to 9pm FOR FREE! For more information, visit the Living Arts Centre online. Happy Latin American Heritage Month!

2LGBTQ+ History Month is celebrated in October in the US, Canada and Australia. Rodney Wilson, the first openly gay history teacher at a public Missouri high school realized that students weren’t learning about the history of 2SLGBTQ+ people or the 2SLGBTQ+ rights movement. He intentionally chose October for 2SLGBTQ+ History Month for several reasons. Even though most people think of the Stonewall Riots in June when they think of 2SLGBTQ+ history, some other important historical events took place in October. The first and second Marches on Washington for Lesbian and Gay Rights took place in October 1979 and 1987. These marches aimed to ban discrimination based on sexual orientation in the military, federal jobs, and family protection laws. While these goals have only recently been achieved, the marches successfully established a large network of members across the US, unifying the community around common priorities, and forced the country to realize how many 2SLGBTQ+ people and allies there are. https://www.crresearch.com/blog/did-you-know-october-is-lgbtq-history-month

October is Women’s History Month in Canada, a time to celebrate the women and girls from our past, and our present, who are contributing to a better, more inclusive Canada. In 1992, the Government of Canada designated October as Women’s History Month, marking the beginning of an annual celebration of the outstanding achievements of women and girls throughout Canada’s history. This year marks the 30th anniversary of Women’s History Month. This year’s theme, She Did, So Now I Can, celebrates the actions of inspiring Canadian women that positively impact our lives today, right now, at this very minute. We are thankful for their courage and for inspiring us to do better. Let’s continue to honour Canadian women who don’t accept the status quo and fight hard to improve the lives of all women in the country.

This week’s Islamic Heritage Month’s learning is on John bar Penkaye. Did you know that John bar Penkaye, a monk, wrote regarding the Islamic civilization in the 7th century that:  “there was such a great peace in the world as was never heard of, [even] according to our fathers and our fathers' fathers”. This quote encapsulates the message that Islam had been so peaceful with other minorities and that the minority right’s that were promised, had been fulfilled to such an extent that people were impressed and found love for Islam. So…. How did the Muslims manage to ensure peace and justice to such an extent? The reason they did this was because Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him), the Prophet whose words are commandments for the Muslims, and the Prophet who Muslims love even more than themselves said, “If anyone wrongs a mu‘ahid (meaning a Non-Muslim), detracts from his rights, burdens him with more work than he is able to do or takes something from him without his consent, I will plead for him - the non-Muslim - on the Day of Resurrection.” The MSA would like to invite all Muslim students at GW to reflect on our treatment of all minorities within our school and community. Are you sending a message of peace in your day to day dealings with one another --- whether it be through your words or actions --- or are you creating further divide?
