Students will be surprised to meet this player, who is a part of one of the following teams: the Toronto Maple Leafs, Toronto Raptors, Toronto Football Club (TFC Reds), or the Toronto Argonauts! Can you guess which one?
An assembly will take place in the school auditorium. This mystery player will share his powerful personal testimony, and important advice to assist in cultivating a positive school culture.
