Happy Second Day of School!!
MTS Open House
On Thursday September 11 from 4:30pm-6:30pm, McKenzie Towne School will be hosting an Open House for students and their families.
If you are interested in attending this informal event, please feel free to pop into the school with your student to meet their teacher and tour the school.
Terry Fox Run
MTS Terry Fox run will take place on Friday, September 12 at 9:00 am.
Starting tomorrow, we encourage students to bring in a toonie for Terry. Our fundraising goal is $1150, which is approximately a toonie for every student and staff member in the school.
If we reach our goal, Mr. V. might wear a tutu for a day!
Mr. V is in need of 5-8 volunteers for each grade to make it a successful event. Volunteers will be asked to help mark students' hands (so they can track their laps), and help with clean-up afterwards. Volunteers will be needed from 8:45am – 10:00am.
If you are interested in helping for the morning and have a current Police Clearance with the CBE, please contact mckenzietowne@cbe.ab.ca
Orange Shirt Day
During the week of September 22-26, students will spend time reflecting on the meaning of Orange Shirt Day.
On Friday September 26, staff and students are encouraged to wear thier Orange Shirts.
Classroom activities throughout the week will include age-appropriate activities related to Indigenous ways of knowing and cultural significance.
Tuesday, September 30 is the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation. All CBE schools will be closed.
Bus Students
Just a reminder to notify the office, not the teacher, if your child is not riding the bus home.
We take attendance at the end of the day and will hold a bus if we can't find a student.
If you have decided to cancel your transporation this year, please make sure to log into your account and hit the cancel button before fees are added in October.
Don't Forget to Label
To ensure your student doesn't loose any items, please make sure to label all outdoor clothing, lunch bags and water bottles.
Found items with no names, will be in the lost and found box at the front entrance.
