It has been another great week at MAS. This week we received
a cheque from the Nashwaaksis Y’s Men club for funding towards our Gaga Pit and
Breakfast program. This was greatly appreciated. We would like to say
“Congratulations” to our Cross Country Runners! They have worked very hard
this season and did a wonderful job at the final race. We are very proud of you
here at MAS and you should be very proud of yourselves.
A few reminders:
Thanksgiving- No School on Monday.
School Pictures- Orders were due on Thursday,
October 10th. Retakes will be held Wednesday, October 16th. Order forms for Retakes are asked to be
returned also. *A note regarding
retakes; If a student has their photo retaken, their original photo becomes no
longer available as an option.
Breakfast Program- Breakfast program is on Tuesday,
October 8th. This week students will be having cereal and smoothies. All
students are welcome. When they arrive on the playground they come right inside
the grade 2-5 door and come downstairs to the gymnasium to enjoy breakfast with
friends. If arriving close to bell students will take the breakfast back
to classroom.

class of 2033! If your child will be five years old on or before December 31,

friends. Please send in order forms and money, no later than October 23.

opportunity to see short films created by youth. Students brought home
information sheets on Thursday with an order form for popcorn. Please have
orders in by October 18th.
Support-A-Thon- Some may have noticed that we have
added a Support-A-Thon to our schoolcashonline. Parents had been inquiring on
