​Good afternoon, everyone! I hope you are all enjoying this beautiful Friday. As always, we've had a wonderful week here at MAS. On Monday, we visited Nashwaaksis Memorial for ballet presentations and had our whole school BINGO to practice our math facts. Tuesday, our students and staff hosted a breakfast for our volunteers. Huge shout-out to our grade 5 students for serving and cleaning up and to our classes who sang for our volunteers. Wednesday was "Wonderful" as we got to wear our hats and we celebrated our amazing Admin Assistant, Mrs. Yerxa. Thursday was a busy day with our Star Student Assembly, Student Voice meeting and swimming for grades 3-5. Today, we are very excited to celebrate STUDENT APPRECIATION day with a special beach day and luau this afternoon. The gym looks INCREDIBLE and I look forward to sharing some pictures in a future email.
