Mahogany Messenger Dec. 18-22 | Winter is the Season of Rest, Lakeshore Updates, Cookie Exchange, Coffee with Tracy & Christine, Fun Lunch
Hello Mahogany Families,
What a week it has been 5 days, 7 concerts, and a bit of fresh snow to end it off. A HUGE shout out to the amazing Mrs. Bourgeois for all your work and hours of preparing students, set making/supervising, the musical talents, the actors, the choir ... We all know how much time and dedication our students put in and it definitely showed!
This next week will bring joys and challenges for us all. We talked a little about how as ‘the most wonderful time of the year’ approaches, it isn’t always peppermints and packages tied up with string – sometimes it feels like there is a big lump of coal on the horizon for some. Knowing this, let us all try to take a deep breath each day as we head into the building and remember that we are holding these beautiful children up all day long through some of the most important and impressionable parts of their day, we are the constant for some and we get to spend more time with them on a daily basis than some of their parents do as they rush to work and back trying to make ends meet.
We hope you all enjoy the last weekend before the last week we have together in 2023! Here is to a fun filled last week of school ahead!
❤️

Staff Appreciation Cookie Exchange
We are once again hoping to show the Mahogany Staff our appreciation with a Staff Appreciation Cookie Exchange!
https://www.signupgenius.com/go/805054CA4AE29A2FC1-46704509-staff#/
We are having a cookie exchange for Mahogany Staff on Tuesday, December 19.
Bring in 2 dozen of your favourite cookie/bar/tart/treat, and staff will be provided with a takeaway box to fill with their favourite choices!
Please drop off on either Monday, December 18 or Tuesday, December 19 (in the morning).
Your treats should be ready for sharing - cut or sliced into individual servings if necessary. You don't need to package items to-go, as staff will choose for themselves and pack a box.
Avoid cookies that are heavily decorated or very delicate. It's too easy for them to get messed up in transportation.
Please include a list of ingredients and if possible, indicate if your recipe contains major allergens (peanuts, nuts, gluten, dairy).
Just choose 1 sign up slot per recipe you'll be bringing.
Thank you for your contribution!
