Ms. Monique Payne and
student Max Chrappa have fun during I.H.M.S. 13th Birthday Celebrations
School is back in full swing at Immaculate Heart of Mary, and so far this year students are participating in many interesting and educational activities.
The Media Center opened this week, and live broadcasts are
happening each day. The Media Center is a student operated activity.
Immaculate Heart of
Mary School would like to thank the following students and teachers for their
extra efforts in all of our extra-curricular activities:
Many thanks go out to Miss Payne and Mr. Gillard who are
volunteering their time with the Cross Country Running club. If any students
would like to become a member they meet every Tuesday and Thursday at 3:00p.m.
in the gymnasium.
We would like to extend thanks to Ms. Neary and Mme. Mondoux
for their work with the Green Team. There are now composting bins in every
classroom and the Green Team would like to advise staff and students these bins
are only for perishable, decomposable waste. If any I.H.M.S student would like
to be a part of the Green Team they can get into contact with Ms. Neary.
Our school would like to extend a very special thank-you to
Ms. April Dakins, the public health nurse. Ms. Dakins spoke about the role of
the public health nurse during I.H.M.S.’s curriculum night. We would also like
to thank all of the parents who came to curriculum night.
Finally, we would like to thank the following students who
helped in our Library this past summer. Thank-you to MacKenzie Brothers, Kiya Morrissey, Claire Reynolds and Maria
Reynolds for your hard work.
The past week’s activities and programs:
Monday: The Breakfast Program began on Monday and will run
every day. It opens daily at 7:30 a.m. and runs until 8:20a.m. The Breakfast
Program is looking for parent and community volunteers. If you are able to
help, please contact the office.
Wednesday afternoon:
The Enrichment group went rafting down the Humber River. Our school
would like to thank Mr. Gillard, Mr. Hancock, and Ms. Meade for accompanying
the group. We would also like to thank Mrs. Reynolds, Mrs. Murphy-Goodridge,
and Mrs. Brothers who provided transportation.
