Hello Families!

This is a special note to highlight some important events that are happening at Jack MacKenzie next Wednesday, March 2, which will be our school’s Day of Pink. 

-Please dress in Pink!  We are hoping to have our student population in pink or in the Red Cross Day of pink t-shirts that day.
-In the morning, there will be some special anti-bullying activities run by our school Student Leadership Committee.
-In the afternoon, we will be pleased to welcome the members of the Red Cross and Saskatchewan Roughrider Respect Ed Team, who will be sharing a message of anti-bullying.  It is because of the availability of this presentation that we have decided to make March 2 the Jack MacKenzie Day of Pink.

-In the evening, we are so pleased to host our Parent Seminar.  This is an event for YOU, the parents, to learn how you can support your children, in a variety of different ways.  There will be handouts and give-aways in some sessions – please feel free to come to part or all of this evening!

Good afternoon.  We are quickly approaching the end of our two weeks of PAA.  It has been a very enjoyable and interesting two weeks.  I hope everyone has had as good a time as I have had.  If you participated in my Culinary Arts course during week one, please hand in your home cooking assignment.

Health:  Commercial watching/evaluating assignment due first health class after the break;

We have just one more day to the February break and tomorrow is Steal-A-Heart Day.  Don't forget to wear pink or red tomorrow.  Have a great evening.
