PRINCIPAL'S MESSAGE

Rebuilding a Community

A common recurring theme this fall has been about rebuilding our school community. When all of our regular community events and happenings were put on hold, most of us did not realize the length and magnitude of this shift. This fall we have been talking about rebuilding the social norms of gathering in assemblies, cooperative group work in the classroom, and essentially what it means to share space together in a formal or informal manner. With report cards and Parent/Teacher interviews just completed, we look forward to December. With that in mind, we invite you to our next step in the rebuild, our Christmas Concert. We hope to see you there and wish you all a blessed December and Christmas Season!

PRESCHOOL PROGRAM AT MES

Hanover Parent Child Community Program is offering a preschool program at MES in our hut.

Tuesday afternoons 1-3 pm
Thursday mornings 9:15-11:45 am

Children will have the opportunity to play, learn, create, sing, and develop skills to prepare them for kindergarten.

Children ages 0-5 are welcome. You do not need to have a child attending the school, so feel free to invite other families that don’t have school aged children. Parents will be able to visit with other parents and participate in activities with their children. Programming is free and snacks will be provided.

Families can attend once or twice a week or drop by when able. We follow Hanover School Division’s calendar of in-services, holiday closures as well as hazardous/cold weather school closures. Our program is free to attend, and we can hardly wait to meet you!

Please contact Stacey Marcoux at (204) 326-9829 or email smarcoux@hsd.ca for more information.
