Hello Mahogany Families

Thank you all for an amazing Open House event. What an amazing way to meet all our families and take time to connect, build relationship and community. We have such a strong sense of community as a staff, and we work hard to emulate this with our students each day – it is a great opportunity to build these relationships face to face with families and for our students to have the chance to show off their spaces. We would like to also thank all the families who took time to share their support of the work we are doing each day to make school a place of learning and belonging, we appreciate your care and attention to making sure we are supported. A special shout out to our School Council for hosting such an amazing BBQ Picnic Event! This was such an excellent way to bring our community together. It was nice to see new families connecting for so many new relationships forged. It is always great to come together around food. Thank you too all our sponsors and for the work of all our incredible volunteers! This community is second to none – we are all grateful to be a part of the ‘Mahogany Magic”! 

Reminder that there is no school for students on Monday, September 29 (Non-Instructional Day) or on Tuesday, September 30 (National Day of Truth and Reconciliation).

Enjoy the extra-long weekend – we will see you all back at school on Wednesday, October 1, 2025.
