Dear Mackie Community, 

On behalf of the Mackie Staff, I would like to extend our immense gratitude for the generosity extended during our Terry Fox-Research for Cancer Fundraising Campaign. Our students participated enthusiastically and empathetically in this serious battle and we were all able to have a bit of community fun in celebrating our success. Students from Ms. McFarlane’s class won the opportunity to throw pie #1 for being the first to fill the classroom jar with money, and students in Ms. Song’s class won the honour of throwing pie #2 for the highest earnings. The whole school had fun with the endeavour. Special acknowledgment goes out to Mr. Moutadayne for being such a great sport and Ms. McFarlane and Ms. Duncan for the organization.  It was a fantastic team-building opportunity and we are all “richer” for it! Funds have been collected for deposit and transfer to the Terry Fox Foundation in the amount of $1, 673.57 Outstanding response!

Thank you so much for your very generous support.

Ms. Ponka

CELEBRATIONS

If parents wish to send something in to recognize their child’s birthday etc., they are encouraged to send in something non-edible (i.e. pencils, erasers, etc.) that can be shared by all. This is to keep all students safe due to the many student allergies. Please check with your child’s teacher if you have any further questions. Thank you!

A Gentle Reminder

Parents are reminded to please keep their child home from school if they are under the weather (sore throat, tummy upset, fever). This ensures that germs & viruses do not spread. Thank you for your co-operation!
