Posts: Weekly Memo - October 3-7
10/1/2022 12:24 PM by roxanne.yerxa
Good afternoon, MAS Families. It is so hard to believe that this is
the last week of September! We have had another fantastic week here at
McAdam Avenue School! Our Cross Country racers had a meet at Henry Park,
our Java Moose fundraiser began, we had our first Student Voice meeting (see
attached photos), we handed out our first STAR student awards and we learned
and reflected on National Day of Truth and Reconciliation. It was a small
but mighty sea of orange this morning as we got together for our Orange Shirt
Day assembly.

Items to note for
this week:
Our Indigo Adopt-A-School fundraiser started on Sunday,
Sept. 11 and runs until October 1. Don’t forget that you can donate
online at:
https://indigoloveofreadingfoundation.givecloud.co/fundraisers/mcadam-avenue-school-fredericton-new-brunswick
Don’t forget about our
Java Moose fundraiser! Shop local and support our school at the same
time! Our school will receive $4 for each bag of coffee sold!
Important to note about this fundraiser: please ensure all rows and
columns are filled in; please send in exact cash as we cannot give
change; please ensure the seller’s name is on the sheet as we will be
returning these to you to distribute your coffee.
School supply fees
($47.25) can be paid online at

. 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.
Wednesday, Oct. 5 –
Cross Country here at McAdam Avenue for students in grades 3-5 who are
participating. We will be hosting along with Royal Road
School. Please look for further communication about parking. We are
still looking for volunteers! The meets have been huge this year, so
we appreciate all the help we can get. Please reach out to me, Mme.
McCabe or Mrs. Belyea if you can help out.
Please send a change of
clothes with your child. We have had several students get their clothes
dirty on the playground and we have had to call families to bring in a
change of clothes. As well, please let me know if you have any old
clothing donations; we would gladly take them to have in case a child
needs them!
Friday,
Oct. 7 – A family survey will be sent home for you to fill out. This
survey will be sent out multiple times this year and supports one of our
School Improvement Plan (SIP) goals. Please take a minute to fill
out this survey and return it with your child by Wednesday, October 12.
