We are very pleased to announce our 6th Annual ASD-N Take Me Outside Day Challenge to be held October 16-27, 2023. Anglophone North School District teachers and administrators are encouraged to bring students outdoors for a lesson or activity consisting of a minimum of 30 minutes. This can be a class from any subject area and does not have to be Phys Ed.  Feel free to select any day between October 16th and 27th or plan on getting out as many days as possible during this two week period.

Last year we had over 30 schools registered, including First Nation schools and Alternative Education sites, with hundreds of photos and videos submitted and/or posted online. We will once again be offering a chance to win great prizes for those who participate. These prizes will be announced before the first week of November
