If you find one of these rocks, you can send a picture to [email protected], then feel free to either keep or rehide it. #MSremembers notification of a covid vaccine clinicManitoba Public Health is hosting a COVID-19 Vaccination clinic in our school. The clinic will be hosted at Morris School on Wednesday October 13th. Mr. Watson visited classes yesterday to deliver envelopes containing more information as well as a consent form that is required to be signed IF you'd like your student to be vaccinated. All students under the age of 16 require parental consent to receive the vaccine at a school-based immunization clinic. From Manitoba Public Health: You can review information about the COVID-19 mRNA vaccine which is available online at https://www.manitoba.ca/covid19/vaccine/resources.html for more information about the risks and benefits of vaccination. Here you can also find more information for special situations such as autoimmune conditions. If you would like your child to receive the COVID-19 mRNA vaccine at school, you can access the consent form and learn more about the consent process at https://www.gov.mb.ca/covid19/vaccine/resources.html#forms. For households that can’t access or print an online consent form, you can get a paper consent form from your child’s school. Consent forms will also be available for parents the day of the clinic. After you complete the consent form, please have your child return this form to the school office by Friday, October 1st, in order for Public Health staff to prepare for the clinic. Only those students with signed consent forms will be called from class to attend the vaccination clinic. If you do not want your child to participate there is no further action that is required. In access - you reap what you sow!September has been a busy month for everyone in the Access class. We’ve had some new students join us and we’re looking forward to getting to know everyone a little better. We have been reaping the benefits of our garden and hope people have enjoyed our canned salsa and fresh vegetable soup. We were excited to clean up a few of the garden boxes and bring in the Cinderella pumpkins. It will be fun to bake and carve them next month. soccer kick starts mavericks athleticsAfter what seems like an eternity, our student athletes were allowed to participate in a school sport. The Varsity Maverick soccer teams were both in action on Thursday this past week. Our Maverick girls hosted the RVS Raiders and our boys traveled to Vita to take on thee Shevchenko Sabres. The girls used a strong defensive effort to earn a 1-0 win over the Raiders. The boys lost in a squeaker (2-1) to the Sabres. We congratulate all the Mavericks for representing our school in athletics. We look forward to having our Junior Varsity Volleyball teams jump into competition at this weekend's tournament in Morris.
