Posts: Weekly Memo - Sept. 26-30

Happy Friday, MAS families!  Despite the wet weather, it was another
fantastic week here at McAdam Avenue!  We enjoyed our pancake breakfast
and are very thankful for everyone who helped out, including Kiwanis and our
Home and School Committee!  We learned a lot about Terry Fox during our
Terry Fox Run, and our school raised $239 for the Terry Fox Foundation (our
goal was $50)!

 


 

Items to note for
this week:

 
Our Indigo Adopt-A-School fundraiser started on Sunday,
Sept. 11.  This means that
September 11th-October 1st all the money raised for the book love program at the
Indigo store that we have been partnered with in Oakville, Ontario will be
donated to McAdam Avenue to help update the school library. We will
get to use the funds raise to shop at a discounted rate to buy
books.  Here’s the link to donate and to share with family and
friends: https://indigoloveofreadingfoundation.givecloud.co/fundraisers/mcadam-avenue-school-fredericton-new-brunswick
Monday, October 26 –
Java Moose forms will go home.  Shop local and support our school at
the same time!  Please make sure ALL rows and columns are filled
out.  We will NOT be double-checking; we will order based on the
final totals on each sheet.
The breakfast program
will begin at some point this week!  That means all students will
have access to breakfast foods each day.    
School supply fees
($47.25) can be paid online at https://anglophonewest.schoolcashonline.com/.  If you would like to work out a
payment schedule, please let Roxy or I know.  We would be happy to
support you with this.

practices at school (grades 3-5).  Please note you must provide
transportation for your child (drop off and pick up).

Orange Shirt Day & Assembly given that tomorrow is now a holiday.

Families have been asking about protocols
for Covid-19 this year.  The direction we have been given is that as
with any other communicable disease, we ask students/staff to stay home
until they have no symptoms.  There is no set timeframe for
this.
