Annual events
- Music Nights
- S.C.R.O.O.G.E Canned Food Drive – Annual food drive where students go around to their community to collect cans for the London Food Bank. Not only do students canvas in their areas, there are also many special events around the school. A particular popular one is the Teacher Slave Auction. Students may "purchase" one of the faculty by paying either a certain number of cans (one can is equal to fifty cents) or a certain amount of dollars. Teachers have to become the slave of the student(s) who dressed up the teachers, made them perform embarrassing scenes (one male teacher was told to "give birth" in the cafeteria on a table during lunch), had their teachers write notes for them while they sat back and listened to the lecture and other various tasks. Teachers have been sold from anywhere to $5 up to $350. Montcalm has proven year after year to be a school whose students/community like to give back as they have reached the highest number of cans per student for several years in a row. After winning the gold medal for a number of consecutive years, a new award was made for them, the platinum award. (SCROOGE – Students' Christmas Rush for Oodles and Oodles of Goodies, Etc.)
