This year on Halloween, we are having an event called Hallowe’en for Hunger. This is a food drive where MDJH students will ask for non-perishable food items when they go trick-or-treating on Hallowe’en. All proceeds/donations received will go to the Ronald McDonald House.

How can you contribute? On Hallowe’en, when students are trick-or-treating, you can donate non-perishable food items. Students will then bring collected food to MDJH the following day, November 1st.

Thank you for your help and support!

Picture Re-take Day will be the morning of Monday, November 4th.

MDJH is supporting Project Thanksgiving Toasty Toes to collect donations of warm socks (sized for ages 12 and up) and personal care items to support Thrive Community Centre. Thrive is a non-profit organization in St. John’s providing support and services to empower vulnerable individuals (ages 12 and up) who struggle with issues including education, sexual exploitation, trauma, mental health and addictions.

A collection box has been placed in the main office where students and parents can drop off donations.

Last day for donations is Halloween, Thursday, October 31st.

For Grade 8 and 9 Late and Early Immersion Students, there will be a parent meeting on Thursday October 24 at 7 PM in the MDJH Library for students interested in taking part in the Quebec Trip. Interested students can see Ms. Houlihan, Mr. Thorne, or Mr. West.

Today we held Student Vote Day here at MDJH! Grade 9 students were asked to cast their vote for one of the four candidates running in the Federal Election for the district of St. John’s East. We had a great turnout, and we’ll be releasing our school-wide results on Tuesday, October 22nd!

Well, the weather wasn’t up to an outdoor walk, but students got a change to move about as homerooms walked laps in the gym. This was followed by a breakfast of muffins and fresh fruit, all served by our MDJH Breakfast Club volunteers. Students were asked to bring in a twonie to help raise funds to keep our Breakfast Club going, and they rose to the challenge. Way to go, Grizzlies!

 

We are having our Kids Eat Smart Walk to Breakfast tomorrow, Friday, rain or shine. If it is raining, students will walk around the gym instead of Kenny’s Pond. We will all enjoy a muffin and a fresh fruit breakfast. A huge thank you to Chartwells for providing muffins to our staff and students for this important initiative.

Students are encouraged to bring along a toonie to support our breakfast program.
