Special Days at MTS
Autism Awareness Month
April is Autism Awareness Month. In recognition of this month and in an effort to promote understanding about this community and our specialized EES setting, McKenzie Towne school teachers will do some learning and activities over the course of April to deepen their understanding of Austism Spectrum Disorder. In order to celebrate the culmination of this learning, we are inviting staff and students to wear blue today. The color blue, associated with peace, calmness and acceptance, is the primary color designated for autism which is the reason for wearing blue.
Mental Health Week
May 5th to 11th is Mental Health Week. McKenzie Towne School, led by our excellent Resource Teacher Ms. Blake, will participate in an Alberta wide series of activities and challenges designed to Move Your Mood. In addition, we are inviting all students and staff to wear hats on Wednesday May 7th in order to raise awareness and promote the importance of mental health.
