Happy Friday, MAS families. I hope everyone has had a wonderful week so far.
The Cross Country District meet was a lot of fun on Wednesday. We had an
amazing group of runners who showed dedication, perseverance and commitment.
Well done! We have received our total from the Indigo Adopt-A-School campaign,
and I am pleased to announce that over $1600 was raised for books for our
school library. We may even have something special up our sleeves for choosing
the books! Our Java Moose fundraiser was also a hit! The final totals are not
tallied yet, but a preliminary look at order forms shows that it was certainly
successful! We will keep you updated on how much was raised for student
activities. Yesterday, Jenna E from Downtown Optometry came to speak to us for
Children’s Vision Month, and even let us try out some pretty cool glasses and
equipment. This morning, the Multicultural Association of Fredericton presented
to our school which was very fun and inspiring for our students.
