Terry Fox Walk – Thank You!

We want to send out a big “Thank You!” to everyone who donated to our 2025 Terry Fox Walk. Thanks to your generosity, we raised $3225.00, smashing our target goal! It’s not too late to donate – we’ll still accept donations today, and the homeroom with the highest total will win a pizza party! Visit https://schools.terryfox.ca/102114 if you would like to make our total soar even more.

Yesterday was a great day for our walk. Each grade walked around Kenny’s Pond and back in the sun. A huge thanks go out to Mr. Mark Tobin for organizing the walk!

Message from Chartwells

A new pay-for-what-you-can lunch service will start MDJH in mid-October.

It had originally planned to start in on October 1 but it has taken a little longer to get some kitchen equipment in place than expected.

There will be a further update when the new start date is confirmed.

In the meantime, Chartwells Eats will continue to provide retail school lunch service. You can place your order on www.chartwellsk12.ca

Curriculum Night Tonight

Tonight is Curriculum Night. We ask parents attending to arrive by 6:30 pm sharp in our gymnasium. The admin team will great you with a short presentation before you meet your 2025-2026 teachers.

We ask that you prepare your child’s Day 1 schedule in advance of tonight so you know where to proceed once we dismiss you from the gymnasium. We will ring our bell for you indicating when to proceed to the next class.

Our teachers will be discussing curriculum details only. If you have any specific questions or details about your youth, please make an appointment to meet with the teacher.

We look forward to seeing you all this evening,
