Week of 25 November Week # 12

Good Evening,

After a wonderful, holiday-feeling long weekend, we are moving into the last few weeks before the Winter Holiday. These last few weeks, as with all weeks,  are important learning weeks for students so please help us encourage students to stay focused and persevere all the way through to the last day before the holiday.

We encourage everyone to attend the Wellness Fair on Wednesday this week. There will be many representatives to share their expertise about healthy eating habits and the importance of maintaining balance in life.

I would also like to encourage you to attend our Family Connection Chat this Thursday. We will be discussing report cards and the changes you may have noticed last week on your child's report card.

StuCo is working hard to organize the first dance for this year. Students are requested to dress smart casual within the requirements of the school dress code. The dance ends at 9:00 and all chaperons would greatly appreciate a timely pick up of your son/daughter.

This week also brings our first "Secret Scorpion" activity organized by Mr. Hathaway's Gr 8 advisory. As role models of our MS, each gr 8 advisory group is taking a turn throughout the year to organize an activity that will encourage a fun, positive, inclusive environment amongst our MS students. Thanks to the Gr 8 students for meeting the challenge of this leadership responsibility.

Enjoy your week and I look forward to seeing you either at the Wellness Fair or at the Family Connection Chat this week.

Have a good week,

Rhonda Isley
MS Principal
