Hello Mahogany Families,

Full Moon, Halloween, snow fences and a fire drill... all as we head into November!

It has been a busy week for our students and for all of you as well. Wishing you all the best sunny weekend. Deep breath into the weekend – enjoy everyone!

Weekly Wonder

When we work together, we know that we can do more, be better and learn along the way. There are many ways as a school community that we can work together to find this strength and make strides together. How will you find ways to join in and work together with our school community to ‘go farther together’? How will you take time to actively invite someone into your circle? What will you need to do this?
