MDJH Tools For Success Lottery

Last year, we had remarkable success with our lottery, and we are hoping you will support us as we continue to build upon that success.

Why?

To continue the work that we started last year with the goal of providing access to the tools, resources, and experiences that will give our students the greatest success in their learning.  Some of the initiatives we are working on are:

  1. Tools and equipment for our newly established Maker Space including 3D printers, sewing machines, and crafting tools and materials.  We want to balance hands on learning opportunities with technology-based applications.
  2. A ½-acre, shared, school-community garden that will allow students to “learn-by-doing” about the benefits of growing their own food while working with community groups to develop a stronger sense of citizenship through creating greater food security for everyone.
  3. A playground that will feature specialized equipment to enhance the physical and emotional well-being of students who are learning through our Support Services Department.

When?

Tickets will be available for sale up to the draw date of December 14th 2023.

What?

Tickets are $5.00 each with the winning ticket holder awarded a rand Prize of $5000.00 in the winner’s choice of Gift Cards OR Cash.

Important Allergy Update – Fall 2023

This is a reminder to our school community that we have various serious and life threatening allergies here at MDJH; and therefore, these items must not 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

In addition, students and staff are reminded to always wash their hands after eating and to clean up eating areas after eating, as we also have several severe allergies to foods that are difficult to ban due to their common nature.

Families are reminded to inform their child’s Homeroom teacher of any allergies or medical needs during the first days of school, or prior to, if possible. As well, allergy and medical forms need to be updated and submitted to the school at the beginning of every school year. You can find the necessary forms here: https://mdjh.info/medical-forms/.
