Today is International Women's Day, and it is a significant opportunity to recognize and celebrate the achievements of women throughout history and around the world while also highlighting the ongoing struggle for gender equality. This year's theme for International Women’s Day (IWD) 2023 is Every Woman Counts.

On Friday, Mrs. Yates class had a lovely family tea party with parents and caregivers. The students made cookies and helped serve the tea.

Another group of students have finished 6 weeks of training in the Robotics Club. The Tuesday Robotics Club had over 20 students learning about computational thinking using Code and Go Mice and Evo Ozobots. The intermediate club learned about block coding and how to use a 3D printer with supervision. We created drawing attachments for the Evo robots on the printer and then coded programs that directed their robot how to draw. This term, teachers participated in a profession development to learn about the different robots in the school and some are now using them in their classrooms. Thank you again to the MQE PAC for supporting this school-wide initiative. There will be another 6 weeks of Robotics Club starting in April.

Hello Mamquam Families,
We have yet to have anyone step forward to form a planning committee for our Spring Fling happening on May 4, 2023. If we do not have enough of an organizing group in place by the end of next week, we will be forced to cancel this years event. Please reach out to us at [email protected] if you have any questions at all about what is involved. Thank you!
