Teacher and Staff Appreciation Week
Teacher and Staff Appreciation Week is February 12-15th. We would like to ask our school community to show appreciation for the staff of MDJH by providing treats for our staff at recess and lunch. As in past years, we would like to have grade levels provide treats on different days:

• Monday, February 12 – Grade 7
• Tuesday, February 13 – Grade 8
• Wednesday, February 14- Grade 9

If you are able to send along a treat, please email colettequann@nlesd.ca or jodisauve@nlesd.ca. All treats must be peanut free.

ME to WE
MDJH is a WE School and we participate in several local and global campaigns each year in efforts to support our community and the world. Our global focus is education in Ecuador and this year we will participate in the campaign “WE Walk for Water“. This is a school-wide water walk which will take place on Friday, April 27. We are asking for a donation of a toonie on that day in order to raise money for this cause. Thank you for your support!

Canadian Student Leadership Conference
The next national leadership conference will be September 25th – September 30th, 2018, in Edmonton, Alberta. The theme is Leadership Through the Looking Glass. The conference theme will flow through the keynote speeches, leadership workshops, volunteer opportunities and cultural experiences of the conference. Any current grade 8 student interested in attending this conference next year should see Ms. Quann. Parents can email colettequann@nlesd.ca to express a desire to have your child attend this conference. You can also visit the website http://cslc2018.studentleadership.ca/ for more details.

Yearbooks
There are several 2016-2017 yearbooks available for purchase. The cost is $20. Please contact colettequann@nlesd.ca if you wish to purchase a yearbook from last year.

Team Pictures
Please send any team pictures to colettequann@nlesd.ca. If sending from a cell phone, please select “actual size” to ensure the quality is good for uploading to the yearbook site. Some school sports have a short season and we would really like to have team pictures to include. Please send along your soccer and softball photos!
