Friday, Nov 22nd<\/sup>, 2024<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n Family Request<\/strong><\/p>\n A reminder to parents and guardians that all visitors to the school must check in at the office.\u00a0 If you would like to speak with a teacher or staff member, appointments should be made via email. We are happy to ensure forgotten items reach your student if you kindly leave them at the office.<\/p>\n MRE is fortunate to have an assortment of alcoves and other wonderful workspaces available to students scattered around the school. In addition to academic learning, these spaces are used by teachers, EAs and administrators to support the emotional learning of our students. \u00a0As such, we kindly request that families refrain from using the hallways or other areas in the school during instructional time unless they have an appointment or are registered volunteers.<\/p>\n Thank you for helping us support our students.<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n NEXT WEEK<\/strong><\/p>\n Monday, Nov. 25th<\/sup><\/p>\n Tuesday, Nov. 26th<\/sup><\/p>\n 9:45 am \u2013 11:30 am \u2013 The Act Theatre (Div. 21)<\/p>\n 2:20 \u2013 Theatre Program (for those who registered)<\/p>\n Wednesday, Nov. 27th<\/sup><\/p>\n 2:20 pm \u2013 4:00 pm: After School Create & Play Program (for those who registered)<\/p>\n Thursday, Nov. 28th<\/sup><\/p>\n 11:30 \u2013 Dismissal for all students (Student Led Conferences)<\/p>\n Friday, Nov. 29th<\/sup><\/p>\n School not in session (Student Led Conferences)<\/p>\n <\/p>\n KINDERGARTEN REGISTRATION INFORMATION\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n THE GIVING TREE<\/strong><\/p>\n A giving tree is a way to bring the community and families together to spread joy during the holiday season. Each year Maple Ridge Elementary Staff, PAC and Community assist in supporting families during this time of giving. This year we have decided to try something a little different.<\/p>\n The giving tree model is to ensure that all children and youth experience the magic this time of year.\u00a0 Each ornament has information with a child\u2019s needs and wishes for this season of celebration. Gifts, hygiene and household essentials, and a holiday meal are just some of the ways that The Giving Tree can alleviate the financial stress of the season, allowing families to enjoy time together making memories.<\/p>\n This would be an amazing opportunity to have your children involved in the process of giving.\u00a0 If you would like to support a child during the holiday season, please take an ornament off the tree, located at the entrance of the school.<\/p>\n Your donations will greatly impact and bring smiles to the student and their family. If you have any questions regarding specific items or inquiries contact cora_lindgren@sd42.ca<\/a>. Please drop off any unwrapped, donated items along with this tag to Ms.Cora\u2019s room (#1025) no later than Friday, Nov 29.<\/p>\n Happy Holidays!<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n WINTER CONCERT TICKETS \u2013 Silent Auction<\/strong><\/p>\n The winter concert is fast approaching, and we will be having a silent auction for 2 pairs of tickets to each performance (morning and afternoon).

It gives students, parents, and teachers resources to address issues like bullying, discrimination, mental health, and substance use. Through ERASE, students can anonymously report concerns if they see or experience something unsafe or harmful. This reporting tool connects directly with school staff to ensure quick support and resolution. Students can report through the QR code or by going to https:\/\/erasereportit.gov.bc.ca<\/a><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n PARENT ADVISORY COMMITTEE<\/strong><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/strong>Lug-a-Mug is happening December 12th!<\/p>\n Students are encouraged to bring in a mug to be filled with yummy hot chocolate.<\/p>\n Thank you to everyone who\u00a0supported our MRE Neufeld fundraiser!<\/p>\n Orders will be available\u00a0for pick up Wednesday Nov 29th at 7:30pm in the MRE roundabout.<\/p>\n For\u00a0those who ordered Art Cards, products will be sent home with\u00a0students during the first week of December.\u00a0 Thank\u00a0You for supporting MRE!<\/p>\n Don’t forget to get your hot lunch orders in at\u00a0https:\/\/mre.parentcouncil.net<\/a><\/p>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/wordpress1.blob.core.windows.net\/maple-ridge-elementary\/2024\/11\/art.jpg\")
