Hello Mahogany Families,
This week was an exciting one, we had a once in a lifetime partial eclipse and a couple of unexpected Fire Drills and some construction throwing off our bussing game as we jumped into the warmer weather, what a way to mark the week!
As we head into the week ahead, let's nurture not only our minds but also our spirits, fostering an environment where kindness, curiosity, and creativity bloom. Whether it's through a captivating lesson, a supportive word, or a simple gesture of appreciation, let's sprinkle positivity and encouragement wherever we go.
You never know what someone is dealing with behind the ‘Instagram’ face we see each day. We have the chance to choose kindness and give grace to others and ourselves. Remember, each day is an opportunity to make a difference in the lives of those around us. Let's seize it with joy and enthusiasm, knowing that our collective efforts contribute to a brighter, more vibrant community. One person can make a difference and that person could be you, you have the choice to make each day.
Remember to take care of yourself so you can show up for yourself and others.
Take care everyone,
❤️
Tracy and Christine
Inspiration
“You never know what someone is going through – kindness matters.”
Weekly Wonder| We all have the choice to be mindful of what others are going through. It is often not until we hear someone’s story that we are made aware of the road they are travelling on and the obstacles they may be facing. One small act of kindness can make a huge impact. Giving grace, choosing kindness is always an option. How will you choose kindness and grace this week?

Message from Ms. Maronese's Class
Thank you so much for all of your support and cell phone donations. We were able to collect 85 cell phones! The phones will be donated to the Calgary Zoo/Wilder Institute, where the metal coltan will be recycled for new phones. When we recycle coltan, it helps to reduce mining in the habitat of critically endangered western lowland gorillas. Thank you for all of your help!
