On Friday, October 30th, we will be celebrating Halloween here at MDJH. Students will be permitted to wear their costumes all day, but we do ask that they not wear Halloween masks. Only non-medical face masks will be allowed.

This week is Waste Reduction Week. All students and staff are asked to wear blue and/or green on Wednesday, October 21st to highlight the importance of reducing waste.

Jamarama Day for the Janeway Children’s Hospital will be this coming Friday, October 23rd. Staff and students are asked to wear their pyjamas and bring in a Loonie or a Twonie to support the Janeway.

Coats For Kids is up and running! We are asking for students and staff to drop along only gently used coats and/or snowpants to the Conference Room with your name on the item(s). There will be prizes!

Donations will be accepted from Monday, October 19th to Thursday, November 5th.

If you have the answer, send an email to Mr. Shane Lambert.

MDJH is looking for a parent volunteer(s) to take over the Duke Program for our current Grade 9s. During these times, many of the activities have been adapted to meet current regulations around the pandemic. There are also many online options for the Adventurous Journey section.

If you or a group of Grade 9 parents were interested in continuing this tradition and take on the lead, Ms. Riggs will help guide the parent group. As with past years, there will also be teachers available for support. If you are interested, please email jenniferriggs@nlesd.ca.
