Thank you to everyone who has offered to donate cakes/pies for our Pi Day cake auction on Friday afternoon. Pies can be dropped off at the school from 6-9 on Thursday evening, March 12 or Friday morning March 13, by 9 am.

We are also still collecting prizes for our prize draw. These can vary, and can include anything that would appeal to a junior high student (gift cards of $5 or more for various restaurants, food vouchers, swag, etc) If you or your employer can donate a prize (or money to purchase prizes) please email Laura Clemens-Brenton (lauraclemensbrenton@nlesd.ca)

Thank you all for your continued support in our Pi Week endeavours!

Lauryn C., a Grade 8 student here at MDJH, is a finalist in a design a mask contest for Hockey Canada’s women’s team! We only have until Sunday to vote. This is extra special to her because she won the World Junior design a mask contest in 2017. She would be thrilled to say she had the opportunity to design both the men’s and women’s goalie masks for Hockey Canada. Thank you in advance for your support!

Schools will also be closed on Monday, March 16th for St. Patrick’s Day.

For students looking for a place to de-stress at lunch, Ms. Pickett has opened up her room as a CALMing space. Low lighting and music, and a place to gather and quietly chat. So far, it’s a hit!

Earlier this Fall, Eastern Health launched its brand new website – Health Information, known as “Hi”. The Hi website is the go-to place for health and wellness resources for individuals, families, and communities.

Last week there was an awesome day at Pippy Park with the MDJH LEARN class. This is the first time skiing and snowshoeing for many of these students! They learn fast!!

Congratulations to Tanish and Raina, MDJH’s top spellers for 2020. They competed at the Telegram Spelling Bee this past weekend at the Holy Heart Theatre.
