Mahogany Messenger – January 26th  

Dear Mahogany Families,  

Celebrating Family Literacy Week 

Family Literacy Week takes place from Monday, Jan. 26 to Sunday, Feb. 2. We will be celebrating literacy learning at Mahogany School this week with our students. Our read-a-thon is only a few weeks away, and we are excited to get going! Please start thinking about some great books to read. More information will be shared soon. If you would like to check out some excellent literacy resources for your family – see here.  

From the Heart Event – February 3rd   

Please RSVP and join us at the school between 4:30 – 5:30 pm for this event. This school mixer is for all families to come together as a community. Please see more information here.  

Please join us for the School Council and Mahogany School Fundraising Meetings which will take place at 6:00 pm after this event. Please note – this is a parent-only evening event.  Mrs. Murphy from our Resource Team will be sharing a brief update on what Resource support looks like at Mahogany! We will also be sharing important school updates.  

Student Leadership Update - Upcoming Fundraiser

Leadership students are running our Jump Rope for Heart fundraiser for the month of February.  Donations support the Heart & Stroke Foundation. Students will take part in jump rope activities during PE classes throughout the month. 

Families may donate using the link provided (donations accepted until the end of February). Students who donate will be entered to try and win a Jump Rope for Heart prize, and all participants will have their name displayed on a heart in the gym. 

Thank you for your support! https://jumpropeforheart.crowdchange.ca/118798 

Spring Musical Excitement Grows 

Almost 240 students are participating in Mahogany's school choir, which is pretty incredible. Please continue to watch for important information & updates from Mrs. Bourgeois. 

Professional Learning Day – Friday, January 30th  

Please note that there is no school for students on Friday as staff will be engaged in System-wide professional learning opportunities for the day. We look forward to connecting with our colleagues and engaging in learning with and from each other.  

Sincerely,  

Jill Scarrow & Christine Hewitt
