Dear MLS Families,
It was fantastic to see so many families at our first School Council meeting of the year! This is a great opportunity to stay informed about upcoming events and learn how to get involved with the School Council. We look forward to seeing even more families at future meetings and events. School Council meets virtually on the third Wednesday of each month at 7:00 PM. The meeting link is shared in my weekly Admin Message to parents.
We’d also like to thank those who stopped by our School Council information table during the Open House to learn about ways to contribute and support our fundraising efforts for the replacement of the west playground.
Speaking of the Open House, it was a wonderful success! The energy was high, and students were excited to show their families around the school, visiting both current and former teachers’ classrooms.
Next week, students will participate in the Terry Fox Run on Thursday morning. The event will begin with a short assembly and warm-up in the gym at 8:30 AM, followed by the run outdoors. Families are welcome to join us outside around 9:00 AM. Our school has set a goal to raise $1,000 for the Terry Fox Foundation. Students are encouraged to bring a toonie for Terry on Thursday. Parents who would like to make an online donation can visit our school's fundraising page at https://schools.terryfox.ca/97939.
On Friday, students will attend an Orange Shirt Day assembly, which ties into their learning leading up to National Day of Truth and Reconciliation on Tuesday, September 30. If your child has an orange shirt, they are encouraged to wear it on Friday.
