This is a reminder to our school community that we have various serious and life threatening allergies here at MDJH; and therefore, these items cannot be brought into or consumed in the school:

• all nuts
• shellfish and fish
• eggs
• buttered/flavoured or microwave popcorn
• cheesies
• kiwi
• latex balloons
• scented products/sprays

In addition, students and staff are reminded to always wash their hands after eating and to clean up eating areas after eating.

Any student with allergies and who need an Epi-Pen for anaphylaxis are required to submit a new Anaphylaxis Emergency Form plan every school year.

The link to the form can be found here: https://foodallergycanada.ca/wp-content/uploads/Anaphylaxis-Emergency-Plan_October_2022_a.pdf.

Please submit, along with a current Epi-pen, to your child’s Homeroom teacher as soon as possible.

Mme. Dalley’s French classes engaged in a cultural experience today making homemade crepes.

The 8-9 and 8-10 classes completed a big project this spring called “Ma terre, mon identité” (My land, my identity). Students reflected on their personal connections to nature and the land around them and created beautiful artwork and poems connected to these themes. Everyone worked hard on these projects and we are extremely proud of the results, so we wanted to share the finished product with you!
