Thanksgiving
Thanksgiving is a cherished holiday that brings families and friends together to express gratitude for God's blessings in their lives. It's a time when people gather around the table to share a hearty meal and create lasting memories. Beyond the festive feast, Thanksgiving serves as a reminder to reflect on the abundance of love, joy and togetherness that enrich our lives throughout the year. From MCHS staff and their families to yours, we wish you a wonderful Thanksgiving.
Healthy hunger
Healthy hunger is a convenient way to make sure your child has food to fuel their body and mind. Have a look at the picture below or download the file to find out how to get started!

GSACRD Voice
Happy Thanksgiving! This is an excellent time of year to take a step back and reflect on the people and things we’re grateful for. When we practice gratitude, it can help build self-confidence, a sense of belonging, value for things beyond their financial worth, and helps build healthy coping skills. You can check out Big Life Journal for ways we can practice gratitude, including their 21-Day Family Challenge, or check out the graphic below for ways your family can continue using gratitude beyond the holidays.

Sponsors for Awards Night
AWARDS SPONSORSHIP REQUEST
It is once again that time of year when we are planning our Awards Ceremony at Morinville Community High School. This year’s event is scheduled to take place on Wednesday, November 16th, 2023 at the Morinville Community Cultural Center.
We would not be able to host this event without our many sponsors/families from the community. Because of this, we have been able to present our students with over $20,000.00 in monetary awards every year. We understand that our sponsor's needs may change over time, which is why we are reaching out to our school community to grow our list of sponsors for this event. We truly appreciate any amount of donation- big or small.
If you, or someone you know is able to support our Awards Program please contact Mrs.Rogers at nrogers@gsacrd.ab.ca
Thank you in advance for making our awards night a great success for our students.

2023 MCHS Alumni Volleyball Tournament
In it's long-awaited return, the annual event did not disappoint. It featured 8 teams who all fought hard and battled until the end. Congrats to Craig Seguin and his team for earning the title of "Champions" in this year's MCHS Alumni Volleyball Tournament!
As always, this was a time of fun, laughter, reminiscing on old memories while making new ones. Thank you to everyone who participated and a special thanks to Mr. Bodnar who spearheaded the event along with the help of Ms. Willows, Mr. Owen, Mrs. Christensen and Mr. Clayton.
Beautiful bits of the bible
Revelation 15:2b–4, TEV
They were standing by the sea of glass, holding harps that God had given them and singing the song of Moses, the servant of God, and the song of the Lamb: "Lord God Almighty, how great and wonderful are your deeds! King of the nations, how right and true are your ways! Who will not stand in awe of you, Lord? Who will refuse to declare your greatness? You alone are holy. All the nations will come and worship you, because your just actions are seen by all."
