Hello MAS families! We have definitely had our mix of weather. If you are looking for ideas to keep your child engaged in learning on snow days, please check our child’s teacher page out on our website. The teacher pages have current classroom outcomes that your child is working on. There are also ideas for extended practice, along with websites to visit. Great way to encourage learning!
Food Drive- Our 100th day of school is fast approaching (at this point, February 16). With this in mind along with the spirit of giving and kindness, McAdam Avenue School is having a food drive. We would like each class to bring in a goal of 100 items of food.
Our school participates in the Student Hunger Program sponsored by the Fredericton Community Kitchen. This program provides children in our school with lunches that they would otherwise not have. The Student Hunger Program appreciates the community's support in feeding children.
Items that the Community Kitchen is in need of are as follows:
- pasta (eg. spaghetti, Kraft Dinner, any other pasta)
- canned goods- soup, tuna, salmon, canned fruit, canned vegetables, any kind of beans, etc
- Microwave popcorn, fruit cups, instant oatmeal
Please send items in with your child or drop off at the school. We will collect for the entire month of February but would love to have 100 items per class so the children can do some math activities with them. Happy 100th Day!
Valentine’s Day- On Valentines day the school will be providing all classes with a fruit and veggie tray.
