Hello MAS Families! This week our students brought their
best smiles for picture day and participated in Orange shirt day. It has been
great to visit our classrooms and seeing so much happiness, engagement, and learning
happening.
On Tuesday night our PSSC and Home and School met. During
that meeting we discussed the opportunity to make a learning space outside on
our playground. We are looking for any parent support- from volunteering time,
muscle, expertise, or if you know of a company to make a donation to help
purchase materials, etc. We are looking to plan a Saturday in October to help
clean up a small wooded area, clear some brush, and prepare the ground for
students to learn. If you are interested in helping in any way possible, please
send me an email. Many hands will make for light work.
Reminders-
Internet Information- Monday a form will be coming
home asking parents to complete and return the form to school. This form is to
help us know what devices and internet students have access to at home if we
were to ever move to a learning from home model.
Pre-Kindergarten Registration- If you have a child
born in 2016, they will be coming to Kindergarten next fall! Please be sure to
contact the school to let us know and we will help support your child’s
registration. Registration will take place October 13-22. We encourage families
to complete the registration online.
Fire Prevention Week- Next week will be fire
prevention week. Students will participate in discussions and learning about
fire safety.
Bottle Exchange- We are looking for a parent or
parents to volunteer to help with our Bottle Exchange bin at Scholten’s
convenience store. This job entails checking on and emptying the bin regularly
and taking bottles to the exchange centre. We spoke with ‘Best Metals Exchange’
(Wilsey Road) and they will allow for a drop off and tally, so you would not
need to wait. They would count bottles and let us know when to pick up cheque.
This is a great school fundraiser. Please reach out if you are able to help.
