PRINCIPAL’S MESSAGE

Good Morning Maple Grove (MG) families.  Happy Friday to all!  It was another busy week at Maple Grove.  Thank you to all the parents who were able to join us for our annual Terry Fox Run.  The sun came out and it was gorgeous and warm.  And, thank you to the children and families who were able to donate to the Cancer Foundation.

Terry was an amazing person.  Such strength, determination and spirit.  I had the opportunity to meet him at BC Place and it was very inspiring.  It speaks volumes that his legacy lives on to this day.

We had a wonderful afternoon at Maple Grove Park, while our new K’s ran/walked around the gravel field.  The sun came out and we were graced with sunshine and good spirits for our event.  Thank you to Mr. McDonough, Ms. Lam and Ms. Vermaas for helping to organize the day.

Thank you to Ms. Tornroos, our amazing Teacher/Librarian for organizing the MG Book Fair.  This is an annual event that draws hundreds of families to our library to support literacy and resources for all MG students.

 Please be reminded that Monday is a Pro D Day.
There is No School Monday.  Students first day back at Maple Grove will be Tuesday, September 24th

Maple Grove is full at all grade levels.  We have about 500 students.  And while I think that may slip to about 495 by the ends of the month, we’re still very full and don’t have much room as our class composition and enrollment have risen to a robust level.

Please know, or be reminded, that our school blog (maplegroveschool.net) is the place to go for information, goings-on, and events.  Our Kindergarten students are now in-school full time and we’ve had our first school-wide assembly.   We’ve reviewed our school Code of Conduct and school song with all students.

I want to acknowledge our fantastic PAC for all their work in welcoming parents and in creating an atmosphere of inclusion and support for families.  We work very closely with our PAC and we have a wonderful collaborative relationship with them.  Please refer to the PAC Blog for information and details regarding PAC events and programs.

In coming weeks I will publish school organizations, staff lists, etc.  For now, please enjoy the school start-up with your child; continue to be positive with them about school; and know that we have your child’s best interests at heart.

For those of you interested in seismic updates, I’m told that the new school build is on schedule and that the contractor is happy with their progress.

Yours in Schooling,
Principal Evans
