Dear MLS Families,

This week, our Grade 2 students did a wonderful job celebrating their learning with both the school and their families. They showcased their work in Social Studies and Science, focusing on the regions of Canada, as well as light and shadows and sound. Students then tested the audience to see if they were smarted than a 2^nd grader, but including an interactive quiz, where students invited the audience to identify if items were opaque and transparent objects, and if sounds were natural and artificial.

At the end of the morning assembly, we also took a few moments to recognize staff members receiving Years of Service awards from the Calgary Board of Education. Congratulations to:

Teachers
Ms. Lloyd – 25 years of service
Mrs. Morrow – 25 years of service
Mrs. Smith – 20 years of service

Education Assistant
Ms. McGowean – 5 years of service
