We received a great surprise this week when we were contacted by Mr. Dennis Matthies, Retail Branch Manager for Access Credit Union. He had heard our Breakfast Club could use a "bit of a boost." Mr. Matthies and the Access Credit Union has "boosted" our ability to assist our students in starting their day the right way with a $2 000 donation in support of our Breakfast Club initiative. 

As the title suggests, Morris School's gratitude is overflowing with the continued support from our community. Thank you...thank you...THANK. YOU!

Members of our school concert band and our Mavericks Hockey team assist at the annual Breakfast with Santa event recently. Ms. Gauthier, the event coordinator sent along this lovely message: 

I wanted to personally thank you both for volunteering the students at the Breakfast with Santa Fundraiser. The hockey team did an amazing job and helped us a great deal. The Band was a HUGE hit and sounded amazing.

Way to go, MAV's!!

The Maverick Wrestling team kicked off their second season of competition this past weekend at Elmwood High School in Winnipeg. A total of nine Mavericks wrestled. To give you some perspective, Morris was represented by one (not a typo) wrestler at the same tournament last year. If the author's math is correct, that's a 900% growth in the Maverick program. A great thing!

Our Junior Mav's kicked off the day with Emma Knelson taking home a gold medal. Alexis Wiebe earned a silver medal. Cody Dueck and Hannah Klassen were bronze medallists. Tristan McLachlin finished 4th and Tyson Funk finished 5th in two very tough weight classes. 

Later on in the day, our Senior Mavericks wrestled tough. Roy Tambal, new to the sport of wrestling, won all three of three of his matches to earn a gold medal. Katie McLachlin went 2 & 1 on the day on her way to a silver medal performance. Abigail McGuffin also went 2 & 1, but a funky three-way tie earned her a bronze medal. What day is a great day to be a Maverick Wrestler? Everyday!!

Over the last few years, Morris School has been the beneficiary of having Mrs. Laurie Keck a part of it. She has been an Educational Assistant, the mother of four fine young men, and most recently the Registrar and a key cog in the machine that is known as the front office. Mrs. Keck is always willing to assist whomever needs it and does it with a smile.

We found out recently that Mrs. Keck will be leaving at Christmas Break to take on a new role with the Red River Valley School Division. Mrs. Keck will still be working to serve our school, just a bit more indirectly. Her new role is an integral one that will assist our IT department to become even more efficient. We know Mrs. Keck is experiencing some mixed feelings about leaving, but we only feel gratitude for her service to our school.

Although Mrs. Keck will be missed, the show must go on! Ms. Danielle "Denny" LeBlanc has been hired as our new Registrar. Ms. Denny is currently an Educational Assistant in the Senior Years portion of our school. Ms. Denny not only knows the school, but she has been in the front office as one of Mrs. Keck's "right hand" people during the busy times of the year. Ms. Denny has had a variety of experience in an office setting during her time with Westfield Industries prior to joining our school team. We thank Ms. Denny for taking on this new challenge and to Mrs. Keck for her service to the school.
