As part of our Wellness Wednesday initiative, we are excited to welcome a therapy dog and their handler to MDJH next Wednesday, May 17th. The visit will be taking place in the gym at lunchtime. Any student or staff wanting to drop in to spend some quality time with a canine are welcome!

Growing season has begun at MDJH! Seeds are sprouting, plants are growing and we are waiting for the sun to appear to begin work on our Community garden. And WORK it needs! We are hoping to improve things in the garden this year and so we are looking for donations to help support the addition of some raised beds – we are also looking for soil, seedlings, some more garden tools etc.

Inquiries or support can be directed to Lynne Sheppard at lynnedsheppard@nlesd.ca.

This past Thursday and Friday, the ROV team had a great outing at their competition over at the Marine Institute. MDJH Robotics, or ORCA as they are known (which stands for Ocean Research and Coastal Applications) placed third overall in the points and first in their marketing presentation! An honourable mention of being the most ferocious in the pool was also handed out to the team – a credit to their design and likely Ethan C.’s persistent piloting skills. Mr. Sharpe and Mr. Thorne are very proud of this group’s accomplishments and are looking forward to next season.

Well done, Grizzlies!

Tryouts for the boys and girls baseball teams are tentatively scheduled for this Thursday, May 11th. Confirmation of locations and times will be announced tomorrow.
