Hello MAS
families! We ended the week with a wonderful Remembrance Day ceremony. I want
to Thank Ms. Bush, the students, and the other staff for such a nice
presentation of remembrance.
It looks
like the snow is visiting us already and with that please be sure your child is
coming to school prepared to be outside in the weather. I also recommend this
time of year to pack extra socks and mitts as they tend to get wet.
Our
wonderful community partner York Care will be providing our students with snack
every third Wednesday starting on November 20th. They will be
providing all students with a muffin, juice, and cheese string or yogurt.

most exciting nights of the year for both students and the Reds!
