Good afternoon, MAS families. I hope everyone had a great week and that
you're staying safe out there today. Kindness Month and Black History Month are
underway, and we hope your children have been sharing some of the learning that
has been taking place. Our Kindness word of the week was "Empathy"
and we talked about what this means on announcements and in classes. As well,
we have learned about a different African-Canadian on announcements each day.
Classes are participating in a Black History Month bulletin board decorating
contest, and we are excited to share these at the end of the month! On
Wednesday, Sarah Francis who is our First Nations Subject Coordinator visited
our school to share First Nations stories, songs, dances and much more. Also,
growing is underway at MAS and I have attached some pictures of our plants so
far!
