Mom’s Pantry Fundraiser
MMS will be running a Mom’s Pantry fundraiser again this year. This fundraiser is our major fundraising program of the year. Funds raised help us purchase items for school such as jerseys for sports programs and supplementing field trip costs. Forms will go home with students this week. The sales dates run from October 10 – October 28.
Parent Committee
Our next parent committee meeting is on Wednesday, November 5 at 7pm. All Parents/Guardians are welcome. We are currently looking for volunteers to help run our canteen during the MMS Volleyball Tournament on Saturday, October 18. Please call Mrs. Dutchak if you are available for a shift.
Picture Day is Coming!
School pictures will be taken on Thursday, October 23 by Imperial Photo. All students will have their picture taken. Package options will be sent home to families should they wish to purchase.
Grade 8 MMS Passion Projects
Our Grade 8 students have worked hard exploring their own interests through a Passion Project. Over the last month, they’ve learned how to create a plan, set goals, and reflect on themselves as learners while working on something meaningful to them.
On Wednesday November 6, students will showcase their projects during an Exhibition Hour for grade 6 and 7 students. This is a wonderful opportunity for them to share their creativity, learning journey, and accomplishments with others.
We can’t wait to see the variety of ideas and talents that will be on display!
