Hello MAS Families! It has been a great week here at MAS.
Our grade 1-2s got to meet some caterpillars and are beginning to learn about
the life cycle and watching them grow and change. Our grade 3-5 finished the
week at the Corbett Centre Duck Pond where they learned about water critters
and nature.

 

Covid Reminder- With lots of attention lately in our area
around Covid,  I was reminded of our parent session with our Child and
Youth team last week and wanted to share their message that may be helpful to some
of our families. They shared with parents about how to and what to talk to our
children about in regards to covid that is age and developmentally appropriate.
The message was to choose a consistent message- yes it is a virus, yes you can
get sick, yes it can be scary, and yes we are doing what the doctors are
telling us to do to keep us safe. It is important to keep it simple and
consistent and limit the sharing of media and adult conversations with the
children.

 

Information Items-

 

No School May 17th- NBTA Branch Day for
teachers.

 

Jump Rope for Heart- We had a successful Jump Rope
for Heart fundraiser. Our top fundraisers that will get to pie a staff member
of their choice are: Evelyn, Ryker, Lucas, Reagan, and Landon. Thank you to all
that participated.

 

Provincial Assessments- Our grade 4 students will be
