Hello MAS
families! This has been an exciting week at MAS. On Wednesday we had an arcade
in the gymnasium with tickets and prizes. Our grades 4 and 5 students created
some wonderful and innovative arcade games for other students to play. Also
this week we were provided with a wonderful recess snack from our friends at
York Care Centre. They will continue to do this every third Wednesday
throughout the year. Our grades K-3 had a visit from our local Fire department
to discuss fire safety.
I want to
‘Thank’ all the parents that came to meet with your child’s teacher. Having
open communication between school and home is an essential part of your child’s
academic performance and progress. Please know that even though we hold parent
teacher interviews twice a year, at anytime if you want an update on your
child’s progress contact their teacher
