​School Update 
To the students and families of MRS,  
We can’t believe we are entering our final week of school. In an unprecedented year, we know many families are ready for a return of summer and time to take a breath, connect with family and friends, and to look hopefully into the future. We want to take a moment to commend the resiliency of staff, students and family as we encountered many new and challenging experiences this year.  
June 21st marks National Indigenous Peoples Day and as a school we are going to take time to celebrate and acknowledge the contributions of Indigenous People to Canada. One of our grade 3 classes has been working this past week to prepare a land acknowledgement for our school-wide assembly. Through this work, students explored what it means to acknowledge the land and why it is important to acknowledge the land. We are looking forward to hearing their reflections on Monday.  
We wish you a wonderful weekend and the first day of summer.  
With gratitude,  
David Laidlaw and Sandy McNeil
