Dear MA Families & Friends,
Launching Wednesday: The MA Parent App!
After months of developing and testing, we are ready to launch the new MA Parent App! Watch for an email message on Wednesday with information on how to get started. Also, coming home in blue bags this week is a printed booklet with details on the many features of the app.
The teachers are in the process of adding the November letters and classroom events to the app to be ready for you on Friday. More to come Wednesday!

Our annual Halloween Boo-ling event
Thank you to everyone who came out for our Annual Halloween Boo-Ling Event. The excitement of the students leading up to, during, and even after the event was unprecedented. The event raised over $2,000 for our school! We hope you had a spook-tacular time! See you Ghouls next Halloween!

Lower El 1’s Cheese buns
Friday was Brazilian Cheese Bun day in LE1! This is a longstanding tradition in the classroom. These cheese buns have been mentioned in Grade 8 Grad speeches over the years. That’s how big of a deal Brazilian cheese bun day is!

An Ancient Chinese tea party and learning the ancient practice of Tai Chi to end the Year 5 Culture unit!
Junior High curling lessons
As part of the Junior High physical education program, the Year 8 students spent the morning at the London Curling Club. There was great progress as they learned to sweep, throw stones and “hurry hard!”
