Princpal Update

Good afternoon, Midnapore Families. Please read important information in the week below.  

Every year, May is Asian Heritage Month. Each week, we learn about Asia through school-wide broadcasts. Over the past week, we also organized various activities. 

  • Knowledge Sharing. We shared six different ways to say "hello" in various languages, the contributions of Asian Canadians to Canada, as well as Asian Canadian art, food, and stories. 
  • Asian Trivia. We set up posters about different Asian countries in the library. Students could browse the information during their free time. Each day, we held trivia quizzes. Those who answered correctly could win prizes. 
  • Listening to music from different Asian countries. 
  • Showcasing cultural or traditional attire. On Thursday, May 28th, we celebrated the rich diversity of Mineola Elementary School through a parade.  

每年的5月份是亚洲遗产月，我们每周都会通过全校的广播来学习一些亚洲的知识。在过去的一周，我们还组织了不同的活动。  

- 知识分享。我们分享的六种不同说你好的语言，一些亚裔加拿大人对加拿大的贡献，和亚裔加拿大人的艺术、美食和故事。 

- 亚洲知识问答。我们在图书馆布置了关于亚洲各个国家的海报。学生们在课余时间，可以浏览上面的信息。每天我们都会有的知识问答。如果回答出正确的答案，还可以赢得奖品。 

- 欣赏亚洲不同国家的音乐。 

- 展示自己文化或传统的服饰。在5月28日（星期四），我们通过走秀一起庆祝美纳博小学丰富多元的文化。 

Lacrosse Residency begins 

We are excited to welcome Elev8te to Midnapore School for the next two weeks.  All students will have a chance to participate in our Lacrosse residency that was funded and supported by our amazing parent council.  We encourage students to check in with their teacher to see what days they have this residency.  Elev8te will provide all the equipment required, but students may bring their own stick if they choose to do so. 

Transportation is now Open for Registration for next year 

Families are now able to apply for yellow school bus service for the 2026-27 school year. Service levels and fees are outlined below. Registration is available through MyCBE. (If you do not already have an account, learn how.) 

Families must apply by Sunday, June 14, 2026 for students to be added to routes for the start of the next school year. We continue to accept registrations after the deadline; however, students are added to the closest existing bus stop with available space. Processing times for registrations submitted after the June 14 deadline will be delayed. It may take until mid-October before your child is able to ride the bus. 

Confirmed routes will be posted in MyCBE in August. 

Call for Executive Officers & Board Directors- School council 

Midnapore School is seeking volunteers to fill three key leadership positions for the upcoming school year. To streamline our support for the school, the individuals elected to these roles will serve concurrently as the Executive of the School Council and the Fund-Raising Society and as the Board of Directors for the Fund-Raising Society.  

Why two roles? 

  • School Council: Advises the Principal and CBE on school operations. 
  • Parent Society: A formal, incorporated body under the Societies Act responsible for fundraising (e.g., Casinos) and managing financial support for school projects. 

Position Descriptions 

  • Chair / President: Leads both Council and Society meetings; acts as the primary representative for the parent community. 
  • Vice-Chair / Vice-President: Supports the Chair and assumes leadership responsibilities when needed; manages parent communication. 
  • Secretary: Records and maintains separate minutes for both Council and Society meetings to ensure legal compliance. 
  • Directors-at-Large (New): We are also seeking general Directors to join the Parent Society Board to assist with decision-making and fundraising oversight without the time commitment of an executive role.  

We are also looking for a Healthy Hunger Fundraising Coordinator:  

This position oversees one of our largest fundraisers, directly supporting valuable student experiences like residencies and field trips. The role involves organizing 3–4 lunch events per month throughout the school year, with planning starting in August. It’s a great way to get involved and make a real difference in our school community.  

If you or someone you know is passionate about supporting our school community, we encourage you to reach out. Serving on the Parent Council is a meaningful way to make a real impact on student experiences, school initiatives, and the future of Midnapore School. 

If you’re interested, please contact midnapore.parentcouncil@gmail.com before June 5, 2026. All nominations will be reviewed, and voting will take place at our AGM on June 8, 2026. 

Your voice matters, and your involvement truly makes a difference. We hope to hear from you soon. 

Thank you,  
Midnapore School Parent Council & Fundraising Society
