​Dear Parents & Guardians,
This week McKenzie Lake students and kindergarten families enjoyed watching the virtual Kindergarten Celebration!  It was wonderful seeing their excitement around sharing memories of their first 180 days of school with others.  For kindergarten families that were unable to attend, the video has been added to your child's Google Classroom.  Now we are looking forward to our Grade 4 Farewell on Thursday afternoon. Grade 4 parents unable to attend, will be able to access the video from your child's Google Classroom that evening.
We would like to thank our School Council for the thoughtful gift they provided for all staff this week.  Individual charcuterie boxes for everyone was a wonderful surprise, enjoyed by all!  It is a small, but mighty, group of individuals.  They have also organized a few special surprises for our grade 4 students before they head off to middle school, including MLS t-shirts!  Their continued support for staff and students throughout the year has been amazing and greatly appreciated.
Some of you may have noticed some newly painted games on the compound outside the school.  If you are visiting the playground after school hours, you may also want enjoy a game of 4 Square (bring a ball), Fox and the Goose, Hopscotch, or Line Tag.  
On Father's Day this Sunday, we hope all of the MLS fathers and father-figures have a wonderful day of being celebrated for everything they do.  Many students left the school today, eager to share something special they had written or created: some heart-felt and others will be sure to make you laugh.  From all the staff at MLS, Happy Father's Day!
Sincerely,
Dayna McComish​
