Mark your calendars :: It's a Kindergarten Celebration

I can't believe that it's time to even start thinking about it, but it's true!  The date has been set.  We hope that you will be able to arrange your schedules to join us for our Kindergarten Celebration Concert on Friday, June 20th from 1:30 - 2:30. There will be no limit on attendance as it will just be for our kinderkids and their families.  We hope that you will all be able to attend!

It's Coming :: Volunteer Appreciation Week

While browsing Pinterest last night I came across this quote:

It is one that I had heard before, but it really sums up volunteers perfectly.  There are very few people these days that have the extra time to help out with everything they would like to.  Juggling family commitments, work life and the general running of a household is often overwhelming....which is why we are so thankful for all that our volunteers continue to do at Macdonald Drive Elementary.  I can't imagine how different our year would be and the experiences the children would miss if it wasn't for you - our volunteers!

Invitations have come home in magic bags, however with the recent storms and sicknesses it is quite possible some may not have made it home to you. We are hoping that as many of you as possible will be able to join us.  In case you missed the invitation, here are the details.  If you haven't yet returned your ticket, you can send us an email to let us know if you can join us. We hope to see you next Thursday!

It's Coming :: MDE Healthy Commotion Day

The City of St. John's will be coming to MDE on the morning of Monday April 14th to lead us in a morning of physical activity.  As a result of this event, all kindergarten children will attend the morning session 8:30 - 11:30.  There will be no afternoon session on this day. All kinderkids are asked to come dressed as they would for gym classes. It will be a fun day for all!
