Congratulations to our Mamquam Cross Country Running Team for their efforts in the first race of the season at Spring Creek Elementary last Tuesday October 1st. The next race is at Signal Hill Elementary on October 10th. Cross Country is open to students from grade 3-6. If your child has not signed up and is interested they can connect with Ms. O'Neill or Ms. Lock at school.

Thank you to all of the students that participated in the Terry Fox Kilometer Club and to all of the donations that we received! As a school we raised $2486! Way to go Mamquam!

Mamquam Elementary will be continuing to pilot a pay-what-you-can twice-weekly lunch program as part of the Feeding Futures Program on Wednesdays and Fridays.  
Ordering is now open for the Fall Session (October - December).  Wednesday’s lunch will alternate between sushi and teriyaki rice bowls and Monday’s lunch will be a variety of wraps, salads, cheesy pockets and bowls for the fall session.
The first lunch date is October 7th and the deadline to order for the first lunch date is this Thursday at 12pm. Orders will continue to be accepted on a rolling basis, with a weekly deadline of Thursday at 12pm for the next week.

Last week Mamquam Elementary students read "Be a Good Ancestor" with their classes. Students then created a small paper ornament related to the book, such as a paw print, feather, heart or butterfly and wrote a commitment on the back. These ornaments were hung on our tree mural in the hallway. Some classes choose a page or a theme from the book that spoke to them and created an art piece or poem that was shared at our Orange Shirt Assembly on Thursday September 26th. We had a very thoughtful whole school assembly to recognize the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation.

Friday October 4th- Dress up as an animal day. Friday October 4th is International Animal Day we are celebrating animals all week in the library and dressing up as animals on Friday! We look forward to seeing all sorts of animals on Friday!

We would like to send a big thank you to Nesters for supporting our Welcome Back BBQ and supplying our hot dogs, we really appreciated it!
Ms. Sissons class made a big thank you card and personally delivered it to Nesters. Thank you to all the families that came out to our BBQ.
