For the fourth year in a row, schools across the province were invited to join in the “Living Healthy Commotions”, which was held Friday, October 9th, 2009.

For the fourth year in a row Nova Central School District schools, in conjunction with other schools across the province, raised a commotion on October 9th as part of the province-wide celebration of healthy living. Almost all schools registered and they received funds to support their plans. There were many great activities that occurred. Schools held games and competitions, provided snacks, had kick-off breakfasts and special walks.

Feedback from some of our schools on Commotions 2009 included the following:

AVOCA COLLEGIATE
