Dear Families, it was a short but extremely busy week here at Midnapore School. Thank you to those who supported our Grade 6 fundraiser. Students were super excited to receive a Valentines message. We also created a Kindness wall where all students were able to write a message about what they love or like. Many students wrote that they love their family, friends, school, and teachers. There is much to be grateful for and students happily displayed their kindness and thoughtfulness today.
Please note, there is no school Thursday or Friday as it is Staff convention.
Cree 8 Residency
We are excited to welcome Chantal Chagnon back to Midnapore School next week where she will continue her work with our students. We will be transitioning to drumming where every class will have daily drumming classes. Thank you to our parent council for supporting this engaging residency.
Vaccinations
Grade 1 vaccinations are scheduled for Thursday, February 20.
New Grade 4 Teacher
We are excited to share that we have hired a new Grade 4 teacher who will pair with Ms. Alexander. Please join me in welcoming Ms. Mei Poi who will be supporting in this classroom in the afternoons until the end of the year. Ms. Poi will start full-time on Tuesday, February 18th. Welcome to Midnapore School!
