Teacher & Staff Appreciation Week 2024

Teacher and Staff Appreciation Week is February 12th-16th. Our student council would like to ask our school community to show appreciation for the staff of MDJH by providing treats at recess/lunch. As in past years, we would like to have grade levels provide on different days:

  • Tuesday, Feb. 13th – Grade 7
  • Wednesday, Feb. 14th – Grade 8
  • Thursday, Feb.15th – Grade 9

If you have students in more than one grade level, you can simply choose a day that works best for you.

Some suggestions are:

  • cakes
  • cupcakes
  • muffins
  • chocolate
  • cookies
  • granola bars
  • candy
  • fruit
  • etc.

They can be dropped off with your child in the morning or dropped off at the main office. In the event of school closure for weather, you can send in your snacks the following day.

A reminder that all snacks brought into the school must be nut free.

If you are able to send along a treat, please email jodisauve@nlschools.ca.

Thank you for your support!
