The MDJH ROV team, “SEBEK”, came in third place overall out of 9 schools at this year’s ROV competition!

The machine ran into a few issues late into Thursday afternoon but with a lot of cool heads and hard work, the students pulled out a fairly successful outing!

Third in the product demonstration (official runs), extra points in the poster, along with a separate award for a crafty vertical profiler using a basketball for buoyancy, was enough to best six other schools!

Way to go, Grizzlies!

Our Grade 8 Boys Volleyball Team had a blast this weekend at Volleyball Nationals! They played very well, and made lots of friendships. Big thank you to coach Karen and coach Nassim!

Way to go, Grizzlies!

On Saturday, May 4, three MDJH students participated in the French speak-offs at MUN hosted by Canadian Parents for French: Echo K., Lydia D., and Millie J..

Millie won second place in her category which included Grade 9 & 10 students!

This is the first time since COVID that the competition was in person (rather than a video submission). All three students did a fabulous job presenting their speeches.

Way to go, Grizzlies!

MDJH observed Red Dress Day today, May 3rd. We had an extended homeroom to discuss what it means to be an ally, and the meaning behind MMIWG2S.

Here the staff pose in their red shirts and dresses.

A reminder to all of our families that if your child has an allergy, a medical condition, and/or requires an Epi-Pen or medication to be administered in school, that you must provide us with the appropriate updated medical forms each school year. It is also important to let us know of any changes throughout the school year.

You can do this by informing your child’s Homeroom teacher or by calling the school. Please see this link for a complete list of all of the relevant medical and allergy forms you may need. https://mdjh.info/medical-forms/
