Week in Review Sept 29- Oct 3, 2025
It was another successful week at Mary Honeywell!
REMEMBRANCE DAY
We are looking for Virtual Guest speakers for our Remembrance Day Ceremony. As we have many families who serve or are serving in our Canadian Armed Forces, we are hoping to have a variety of guest speakers, each submitting a video that will be shown during the ceremony. Our theme this year is, "What does a poppy mean to me?" If you are interested, please email pamela.shea@ocdsb.ca by Friday October 10th.
As well, we invite any members/families who have served or who are currently serving to join us for our Remembrance Day ceremony on Tuesday November 11th, at 9AM.
Fall Artwork
Fall is in the air at Mary Honeywell, and our students have been busy exploring the season through their artwork. Their pieces showcase creativity, imagination, and a true celebration of autumn. We are proud of their efforts and hope you enjoy these wonderful creations as much as we do.

The ever popular Pizza days are starting soon! Orders are available now through Cash Online and must be placed by October 9. Please note that we cannot accept late orders. See the poster below for more details.
Subway Lunches
Subway lunches are coming to Mary Honeywell! Orders open today through Cash Online, with the first lunch kicking off on October 27. The program will run weekly for 8 weeks— another delicious lunch for students to look forward to!
Respect
For the month of October, we are learning about the character trait of RESPECT, respecting ourselves, respecting others, respecting our school, and respecting our community. Here are some ideas to help support your child to grow in the area of respect:
1. Discuss together what respect LOOKS LIKE, SOUNDS LIKE, and FEELS like. Here is a great song about boundaries to help your discussion.
2. Brainstorm with your child how they could respond respectfully even when disagreeing with someone.
3. Craft: Trace each family member’s handprint and write “High Fives for Respect” and as a family, come up with 5 ways that you can respect each other and yourselves.
