This is a milestone year for us here at Macdonald Drive! As part of our 50th anniversary celebration, we are having an Open House for MDJH alumni (staff and students) on November 29th from 6:00-8:00pm. We are inviting former staff and students to come in and take a walk through the school and to enjoy a small snack at the cafeteria.

We are looking to our school community for donations of treats for this event. We are looking for cookies, sandwiches, vegetable & fruit trays, and water. Anyone able to donate one or more of these items can please email colettequann@nlesd.ca, sarahcomerford@nlesd.ca, or meghangambin@nlesd.ca.

Please note that while November 29th is a district closeout for staff PD, the school is open for parents to drop off their donations that day.
