On Sunday afternoon, February 19th, the up-coming 2012 graduates of Abbotsford Traditional Secondary School organized a stunning charity fundraiser Fashion Show, raising over $ 1,700 for Abbotsford’s Cyrus Centre.

The event that the students named “Youth4Youth” was initiated and organized completely by a 7-member student Grad Council, with a desire to give to a charity that helps students their age with a helping hand, shelter and counsel.

 

With the assistance of teacher sponsor, Grant Gasser, the school gym was transformed to a beautiful, up-scale, well-lit, glitzy fashion run-way – complete with a large screen, music, commentators and 40 student models. Student leader, Ashandeep Sandhu spear-headed this effort that drew a well-pleased crowd of over 300 people. Co-leaders Danae Styles and Melissa Toews are also credited with putting in many hours of volunteer time. Other members of the Grad Council included: Jasmine Randhawa, Deanne Ratzlaff, Kaz Ezaki and Abnashi Randhawa.

Casual and Formal wear was donated for use at the show by local businesses, including the Boathouse, Black & Lee, Bootlegger, Extreme, Moores, Suzy Shier, and West49. Door prize & refreshment donators included: Abbotsford Heat, Burger King, Castle Fun Park, Future Shop, Gian’s Indian Cuisine, Little Caesars, Milestone’s, Presto Cucina, Panago, PriceSmart, Safeway, Super Punjab Sweet House, Vancity and the WokBox.

 

 


 

ATSS is a public school of choice within the Abbotsford Public School District No. 34. Our students come from Abbotsford, Mission, Chilliwack and Langley. ATSS also enrolls International students and a number of students who were previously home schooled. ATSS opened 2004, and in September 2006 ATSS moved to a large, comprehensive campus which is also the home of Abbotsford Traditional Middle School. This permanent location has room for growth and features a number of new facilities.

Academic studies along with Fine and Performing Arts classes, Applied Skills classes and a well-supported Athletics program provide a quality, balanced education for our students. In addition, every student uses a notebook computer as part of his or her educational program to increase learning. The ATSS one-to-one notebook computer program is quickly becoming a success story highlighted across Canada. ATSS has a dress code with "dress for success" coordinates and many classes are structured in a more traditional style. Approximately 500 students from grades 9-12 attend ATSS and benefit from the small school atmosphere and supportive environment.
