The Parent Association has organized a free dance for all MTS students and their families. It will be a spooktacular night of music (DJ) and dancing in the school gym.

- Costumes (parents, you too) are highly recommended. Please leave weapons or gory accessories at home.
Tickets are available starting Wednesday Oct 2 at 9am. Here is the link: Sign Up
Due to restricted space in the gym, we can only offer a limited amount of tickets so please RSVP asap!
Your email confirmation will be your ticket.
All children must be accompanied and supervised by an adult
We need your help! We are looking for parents to help decorate, sell goodies at the concession, clean up at the end of the night and check tickets at the door. The volunteer opportunities are available via this link: Sign Up - Dance Committee

Casino Fundraiser
Our Casino Fundraiser Event will be take place on November 26 and 27 at Deerfoot Inn and Casino.
This is our biggest fundraiser by far, usually raising $40,000-$80,000 for the school to use over the next three years. Proceeds fund residencies, subsidize field trip bussing, buy supplies that benefit the whole school such as library books, and much more.
How it works – We provide volunteers to work at Deerfoot Inn and Casino for two days and the casino donates some of the profits to the school. An advisor trains all the volunteers’ onsite so no prior experience or special skills are necessary. Unlike other school volunteering opportunities, police clearance is NOT required. Some positions must be filled by parents/guardians of children in the school but other positions (cashier, chip runner, and count room staff) can be filled by any adult, including friends or neighbours. Meals are included for volunteers during their shifts.
Please sign up for a shift: Sign Up School Casino Fundraiser
