School Update
To the students and families of MRS,
We know many of our families have been inquiring about class photos for their children. Knowing this, we would like to share that we have been working with Lifetouch and are confident that we should have these ready to be sent home soon. We also want to share that individual photo retakes will be on October 22nd.
In other news, our students were extremely excited to witness the final products from our garden plot that we utilize from the Willow Ridge Community Centre. The genuine enthusiasm around the size of carrots and squash is something we hope that the students can continue to have as it was quite incredible to watch. Thank you Willow Ridge Community Centre for your continued support to allow opportunities such as this to exist.
Lastly, we want to express sincere thanks to our Parent Association as they approved many ‘Wish List’ items at our meeting last night. Your support allows us to continue to provide our students with the best possible learning environment.
With thanks,
Maple Ridge Staff

General Health Measures
We know this is a time of year when we often encounter more illness within our school. We continue to encourage general health measures for all students and staff to reduce the risk of transmission of all illnesses, including such things as staying home when sick and practicing good hand hygiene and respiratory etiquette.
Lost and Found
Our lost and found has become quite a significant collection within the the first two months of school. If you or your child have missing items, please remind them to visit the lost and found located near the entrance/exit doors to our playground.
