Semester 1 comes to an endOur Grades 7-12 students have finished up their work today for the first semester of the 2021-22 school year. Our students and staff have experienced COVID pivoting, snow storms, wind chill, and other adjustments over the last five months but have come through it well. When second semester starts on Tuesday, February 8th, we will still be in CODE ORANGE...the same level as we are in today. Our hope is for a good start to the semester and some memories made for our students, especially our Class of 2022! Please find a room allocation list below for our students' second semester classes. Way to Go, MAV's! Report cards will be emailed to parents next week OR you can download the PowerSchool App to see them as well.

This week they created groundhog burrows in honour of Groundhog Day. taking advantage of the snow!!The Gr. 7/8 boys' Phys. Ed. class has began their outdoor survival unit, and with the abundance of powdery snow, they have started off with making Quinzee shelters in the bush near the river.

Thanks to Mrs. C Edel and Mrs. Dekekel for the activities & resources below! Congratulations to this week's 'I LOVE TO READ' calendar winners! Way to Go, MAV's! athletes of the month - decemberLast week we highlighted the Artist of the Month for December. This week's blog has our Athletes of the Month for December! Damon Johnson - During the month of December the Morris Mavericks Hockey Team played 7 games in which Damon recorded 12 pts while playing over 30 minutes a night. Also not to mention a game winning shootout goal in the Franco Fun tournament in Winnipeg. Damon is a work horse for the team and leads by example with his tenacious play and positive attitude. We can’t wait to see what he will do in the second half of the season. Logan Mazinke - The backbone of the Morris Mavericks hockey team would be Logan Mazinke. His great play in the month of December led the Mavericks to get their first 2 wins of the season. One being a thrilling shootout win where he made the winning save on the last shooter. Way to go Logan. Logan faces 50+ shots a night and always gives the team a chance to win the game. Goodluck in the second half of the season. Maverick athletics updateBoth Varsity Boys and JV Girls saw two games postponed due to weather this week. Despite this, we are determined and excited to continue our league schedule next week. The girls host Elm Creek on Tuesday Feb 8th at 6pm. While the Boys play Wednesday (vs. St. Pauls) and Thursday (vs. MCI) at home. Both boys games start at 6pm. All games can be found on the Morris Mavericks Athletics YouTube page. students - please dress for the weather!With our current winter temperatures changing on a daily basis and students having to stagger our entrance times, we would ask that our students and their families do their best to dress for the weather. Multiple layers and options might need to be planned as mornings are usually colder than afternoons. We want to ensure our students are safe and comfortable from the minute they leave their homes to the moment they return at the end of a school day. If students forgot an important piece of warm weather clothing, please ask your teacher as there are extra toques, mitts, etc at the school that we can access quickly. openings in driver Z (old drivers' ed)There will be a Driver Z course offered in March. Due to low enrolment, the instructor is hoping to share the following information with age-appropriate students. Course will begin on Wednesday, March 9, running until May 18.
