Hello Mahogany Families 

This week we celebrated School Spirit week. It was a great way to come together around positivity and fun as a whole school. We got ready for vacation, had so many ‘teachers’ in fabulous outfits, groups of color throughout our school, we felt a bit backwards on Wednesday and then did we ever look sporty today! It was great to see everyone come together with a common goal of celebrating our story at Mahogany. 

Today we wrapped the week with Sports Day. Thank you to Mrs. Theberge and the grade 5 students for their leadership in making this day an incredible event for all our students. Some of the quotes heard today were: “This is the BEST day ever”, “I can’t believe we get to do sports all day!”, “I love that we get to go to all the stations as many times as we want.”, “Freezes!!” (Thank you School Council), “I get to hang with my friends AND do all these games?”. When we have these events that bring our students together in different ways it is such a great opportunity to see them shine in different ways and for them to really be a community. We had the perfect day, the smoke blew away, the sun came out and we truly had an amazing day together as a school community and wrote one of the best pages of our Mahogany Story. Teamwork and coming together in different ways can be hard sometimes – it can also be very rewarding and shows the importance of connection and celebration. While we are often together in our grade groupings in school, days like today erase those lines and make it possible to find wonder and joy together.
