It has been another great week at MAS. This week we received a cheque from the Nashwaaksis Y’s Men club for funding towards our Gaga Pit and Breakfast program. This was greatly appreciated. We would like to say “Congratulations” to our Cross Country Runners! They have worked very hard this season and did a wonderful job at the final race. We are very proud of you here at MAS and you should be very proud of yourselves.

Thanksgiving- No School on Monday.

School Pictures- Orders were due on Thursday, October 10^th. Retakes will be held Wednesday, October 16^th.  Order forms for Retakes are asked to be returned also.  *A note regarding retakes; If a student has their photo retaken, their original photo becomes no longer available as an option.

Breakfast Program- Breakfast program is on Tuesday, October 8th. This week students will be having cereal and smoothies. All students are welcome. When they arrive on the playground they come right inside the grade 2-5 door and come downstairs to the gymnasium to enjoy breakfast with friends. If arriving close to bell students will take the breakfast back to classroom.
