Bulb Fundraiser

MDE Fall Fundraiser

If you are planning to buy seeds or bulbs to brighten your garden for Spring and Summer, we ask that you consider purchasing them through our fall school fundraiser. Macdonald Drive Elementary will retain 50% of the total sales, which will be used to upgrade existing technology and purchase new resources for our school. In addition, for every $150 in orders, Macdonald Drive Elementary will receive a free donation of bulbs or seeds to improve our school grounds.

We ask that you submit your order to the School, with full payment, no later than Tuesday, October 9th.  Cheques should be made payable to Macdonald Drive Elementary School. 

If you have not received your brochure, be sure to let us know! 

We thank you in advance for your participation in our first fundraiser of the year.

Kindergarten Readers!

Be sure to ask the Kinderkids about Read to Self!  We have our own Reading boxes with a special pointer that helps us keep our eyes on our words! Our Blue Group read by themselves yesterday for one whole minute!  They were in their own comfy spots where nobody would interrupt their reading!  They kept their eyes on their words and read the whole time! Mrs. Fennemore is very proud! Hip Hip Hooray for the Blue Group!

Zero the Hero

Do you know Zero the Hero?  He loves numbers.  Zero is his favourite!

Zero the Hero was sneaky and came and left us a present and a card.  We made a special 10 bracelet and counted to 10!

Headphones Needed!

We would love for all children to have their own set of earphones to use during independent computer activities.  If you are able to send in a set of earbud style headphones it would be greatly appreciated. We will label them and store them in a baggie for your child to use as needed.
