Good afternoon Mary Honeywell community
We had yet another exciting week at MHES! Students were eager to play in the snow and we had the wonderful addition of lego club, puzzle club, and Rubik's cube club this week. We did have to remind our students the importance of respect on the yard and how to play fair. We emphasize cooperation and empathy constantly and it would be helpful to have these conversations at home as well.
Toonie Tuesday
Toonie Tuesday is our annual fundraiser that always takes place on the 3rd Tuesday in February. On that day, we ask everyone in our school community to donate $2 or more to the Education Foundation of Ottawa. The money raised will help us continue to do the important work of supporting students who need help the most.
FSL Resources
The OCDSB has compiled a list of French Resources that can be useful for parents to access French language materials to support students registered in Core French and French Immersion.

2023-2024 Kinder Registration
MHES will have an information night for parents on Feb 16th @ 7 pm. Registration is now open. Please visit our website to find out more about how to register your child.
International Holocaust Remembrance Day
Today, January 27th is International Holocaust Remembrance Day, which honours and remembers the over six million Jews and countless other victims of the Holocaust. Educating students about the Holocaust, equipping staff members with helpful resources and lessons, and sharing additional information with families is an important part of this responsibility. Some of our grade 5 and 6 students will be welcoming Eva Olsson, a survivor of the Holocaust who has dedicated her life to communicating a message of joy, hope, and racial acceptance to young people of today's generation. If your child will be receiving this presentation, their teacher will reach out to you with further information.
