This blog will be used as a means to maintain contact between school, parents, and students. By subscribing to the class blog ("Follow by Email" on the right side of the page), you will receive an email update between 3 and 5 p.m. every day (I will do my best...).
Mission Statement
Mission Statement: My classroom is a place where students should feel welcome: everyone should feel free to learn and participate without worrying about put-downs
or soul-crushing gossip.

HOUSEKEEPING:
1. Grad tees/hoodies are now available. Use the image above as a reference for ordering. Don't forget that you have to first create an account before ordering.
2. Grade 7 Trip!!!! May 24 is a HARD DATE - there will be no extensions as I have to order the Blue Jays tickets that day. If your child does not hand it in by that morning, regrettably, they will not be going on the trip.
3. Mr. Maclean is putting together the graduation slideshow and needs your help! If you have candid shots you can part with (digitals are best), we need to get them into his hands. Either share them with me via goggle drive or put them on a thumb drive. Deadline is coming up.
KUDOS TO: Allen, for throwing the longest throw in ball throw: 44m. Incredible. As well, Carter gets a kudos for taking one for the team: you should have seen the sloth makeup. As well to Betty, Almirah, and Meeeeeeeeekkaaaaaaallllaaaa for helping me set up the track.
And finally, kudos goes to Luke for winning kudos 5 days in a row. Currently, he is the leader.
