Thank you to our retirees!As the end of each school year approaches, some bittersweet feelings seem to be associated with that event. This year is no exception. One of these feelings is a direct result of announcing three retirements from our Morris School staff. After many years at Morris School, Mrs. Robin Wiebe, Mr. Tony Lopez, and Mr. Mike Zinn will be retiring from Morris School. Mrs. Wiebe has most recently been a part of our Senior Years Resource and Alternative Classroom team. However, Mrs. Wiebe has held a number of important roles within our school walls and had an impact on many students. This impact allows us to forgive her for cheering for the Calgary Flames!?! Thank you, Mrs. Wiebe. Mr. Lopez can be found most days in the computer lab or one of the surrounding classrooms teaching graphics or Math. His most recent significant contribution to the school has been the planning, implementation, and successful execution of our online daily announcements (Mavericks Media). This endeavour has improved our school community immensely since its implementation. To top it off, Mr. Lopez organized our live-streaming of school events during the tightening of protocols to allow our school community to watch these events even if they couldn’t be there in person. Thank you, Mr. Lopez. We hope your love of motorcycles, the Habs, and your family keeps you busy in your retirement. I cannot think of a time that I have not seen a smile on Mr. Zinn’s face. This gentlemen has been at our school over 30 years and continues to show up, work hard, and enjoy the people around him. His unsung work after everyone has left the school has been appreciated by all of us even though the work is done when nobody is watching. This multi-talented individual will probably paint, fix up antiques, and enjoy some time off, but his most important role as a grandfather will probably keep him the busiest. Thank you, Mr. Zinn. Our students and staff were able to share their congratulations, best wishes, and even disappointment with our retirees this week as they shared some cake. Grades 7-12 Activity Day - A huge successDue to the fabulous student leadership group at our school, our Grades 7-12 students enjoyed an awesome afternoon under blue skies. Bubble Soccer, a Scavenger Hunt (thanks Mikayla W!!), cornhole, gaga ball, basketball, volleyball, and disc golf were all accessible to our students. Way to Go, MAV’s! Grade 7/8's - hit dingers with their experience!Our Maverick Grades 7/8 baseball teams participated in the divisional baseball tournament in Lowe Farm. It was a great day with gorgeous weather. The boys went undefeated for the day while the girls improved with every game. Congratulations to both teams for their effort, commitment, and great attitude throughout the day. report cards - coming soonReport cards will be out the last week of June. We will again be emailing report cards home to parents. If you require a paper copy, please let the office or your student's homeroom teacher know. Paper copies will be sent home with students or mailed home. highlights of lunch & bake sale for eli JThis past Friday, our Student Leadership Group as well as a number of staff and school community volunteers organized a Hot Dog Lunch and Bake Sale in support of one of our Grade 9 students, Eli Jashyn. Eli has recently been diagnosed with cancer and is undergoing treatments at the Children's Hospital in Winnipeg. A number of our staff and students were able to connect with Eli on a video call. It was great to see his face and hear his voice! Our school community stepped up, big time, to make this fundraising event successful. We love our Maverick spirit and we hope the Jashyn's know how much our school cares for Eli and the family as a whole. Thank you to everyone who supported the event. PS...a bit of an update. Eli was in good spirits on Friday even in the middle of his treatments. He went on his first walk in a while, so that is a great sign!
