School Update 

To the students and families of MRS,  

On Thursday next week, Maple Ridge School is extremely excited to host our Third Annual Science Olympics. To successfully pull this event off, we need volunteers. If you can volunteer, and you have an active police clearance that has been shared with our school, we ask you to please connect with your child’s teacher.  

As part of volunteering, we are excited to share that on behalf of our Parent Association, snacks and lunch will be provided from the Cornerstone Music Cafe. 

Thank you in advance for your support on this day! 

Have a great weekend.

Join us to learn useful strategies to respond when anxiety shows up and what you need to do to help your child manage anxiety effectively while boosting their resilience. This is your opportunity to equip yourself with the knowledge and tools to support your child through anxiety, fostering a healthier, happier future for them. 

This presentation is funded by the School Council, with the assistance of the Alberta School Engagement (ASCE) Grant.

Fire Drill Practice  

On Wednesday we had our fourth of six fire drills for the school year. Our students and staff treat each drill as though it was the real thing, and teachers keep class lists with them, and attendance is taken. We were once again extremely proud of how the students participated in this learning opportunity.     

Alien Inline Skating Experience (April 17-May 3) 

Volunteers still needed 

As you can imagine, volunteers help this activity run more smoothly. We are asking for two volunteers, with a valid police clearance on file, for each session. All volunteers are required to book ahead of time. Please book for either the morning or the afternoon to ensure we have enough volunteers for each session.
