Mahogany Messenger – April 27th, 2026
Dear Mahogany Families,
As we wait patiently for warmer temps and signs of spring, we are grateful to be welcoming the month of May this week. In honor of Earth Day last week, our Grade 2 students took some of their learning outside on the land and our Grade 3 students did an awesome job taking care of the land by picking up a sizeable amount of garbage and debris around our school grounds.
Swimming this Week - Thanks, Volunteers
Thank you to all of our parent volunteers who are helping out with swimming this week for our Grades 1, 4 and 5 students. We couldn’t offer this experience for students without your support! Thank you to Mrs. Theberge and all the teachers for their organization and planning around this learning.
Come & Celebrate Grade 4 Learning at Telus Spark!
We are excited to share that our Grade 4 students will be celebrating their prototypes on Tuesday, May 12 at TELUS Spark. Over the past several weeks, students have been working hard through the design thinking process to create hands-on exhibits for others to explore. The celebration will run from 6:00–8:00 PM, with students needing to arrive earlier for setup from 5:00–6:00 PM. This is a parented event, so students must be accompanied by an adult for the evening. We are also pleased to invite all family and friends to attend and experience the creativity and effort students have put into their projects. Please note – there is no fee to attend.
We look forward to a wonderful evening of learning and celebration!
