Please Wear A Jersey Tomorrow – Mon, Oct. 23

MDJH will be taking part in this event tomorrow. If you are able to wear a jersey, we ask that you do so, Thank you.

Holy Cross Elementary (Holyrood) is inviting schools around the province to help remember the life of a young boy from their community.

Lincoln Joseph Walsh (7 years old) passed away tragically October 18 in the community of Chapel’s Cove. 

On Monday, October 23, the school is inviting students to wear their sports jerseys in memory of a little boy who loved team play, competition, and being with his friends and family.

MDJH Clothing Order

Our learning community is well aware that being an MDJH Grizzly is a BIG DEAL and a great way to increase our sense of belonging.

Often we see former students in the community still sporting their MDJH attire and still purchasing long after they have left to move on to other schools – that’s how proud they are of our learning environment! 

Our Grizzly MDJH Clothing Order storefront is open! Please see the link below. 

Our goal is to ensure that all of our MDJH students have at least a T-shirt- we have also included a donation section if you are able to assist us with this endeavor.

Parent Grizzlies are able to order for themselves as well. We love it when we see our families wearing MDJH clothing at events! It truly sparks wonderful and positive conversation! Together, we are better!
