Hello
MAS Families! We have had an exciting week of learning at MAS. On Tuesday we
were joined by David Wang who shared the meaning of the Chinese New Year with
our students. We then all shared in a Chinese lunch together in the gymnasium.
The smiles, the conversations, eating with friends, and new learning made for a
wonderful celebration at our school.
On
Thursday Coach Mac and four UNB players came to visit. Coach Mac shared and
encouraged students to always try their best, and to work hard. Students
have been invited to watch the UNB game this coming Saturday. It is
Northside schools night. Staff and family will be there and we look forward to
seeing many of you!
Reminders:
Staff
Appreciation Week- This coming week I would like to recognize our
Staff. This week is staff appreciation week, but we
appreciate all they do each and every day. Our staff play a critical role
in shaping your child. They are kind, patient, dedicated, hard-working,
fun, and love what they do. Being a small staff our team steps up in
many ways to be sure your child's learning experience at MAS is memorable
and fun. If you see a staff member this week, feel free to let them know
what you appreciate about them.
Northside
School Hockey Night- Our Northside school night with UNB hockey is Saturday,
Feb. 9th. A notice was sent home with information in regards to purchasing
tickets at the box office. Hope you can make it!
Breakfast
Program- Tuesday - This Tuesday will be bagels and
fruit. When the students arrive at school, if they wish to come have
breakfast, please remind them to come in our grade 3-5 door. We will take off
our boots, put our coats and book bags in classroom then head down to the
gymnasium to enjoy breakfast together. When the bell rings and once students
are finished they will head up to class to start their day with full bellies.
Skating- We will be
doing a whole school skating trip to Willie O'Ree on March 1st. Permission
slips were due on February 8th. If you have not done so please return the forms
as soon as possible. This will help us be sure all students have skates and
helmets as needed.
Valentine's
Day- Each class will be treated to fruit and vegetable trays for
snack time.
Family
