No drinks or food are permitted. Rubber soled cleats are allowed but no outside footwear in the field area please.

The boys practices will go ahead as scheduled today at 4pm and 5:30pm, at Wishingwell Field with the groups divided alphabetically as posted yesterday. Players who have an all-star try-out tonight with St. John’s Minor Baseball are permitted to come to the earlier practice. This is a batting practice session only and players who have to leave for all-star tryouts will hit first and leave when their hitting round is over to help with transit time.

As part of our Wellness Wednesday initiative, we are excited to welcome a therapy dog and their handler to MDJH next Wednesday, May 17th. The visit will be taking place in the gym at lunchtime. Any student or staff wanting to drop in to spend some quality time with a canine are welcome!

Growing season has begun at MDJH! Seeds are sprouting, plants are growing and we are waiting for the sun to appear to begin work on our Community garden. And WORK it needs! We are hoping to improve things in the garden this year and so we are looking for donations to help support the addition of some raised beds – we are also looking for soil, seedlings, some more garden tools etc.

Inquiries or support can be directed to Lynne Sheppard at lynnedsheppard@nlesd.ca.
