Hello
MAS Families. It has been a great week at MAS. I would like to Congratulate our
grade 4/5 students, choir, and our student pianist Jennifer, for their
wonderful performance at Music Festival. The Adjudicators notes were nothing but
praises. Great Job!
'May the Math be With
You'- Family Math Night
will be hosted on May 15th starting at 6:00pm. The night will consist of
a short introduction from our district Math Leads. We will then have classrooms
set up with math take aways. Some rooms will be everyday ideas to incorporate
math into your home and another will be math games make and takes per grade
level. At the make and take room you will be able to make and play games to
take away with you. This will be a great opportunity for parents to gain a
better understanding of the math curriculum and ways to help support
your child at home.
