Dear Families,
Here is what’s happening at MRCS for the week of December 2.
1. Giving Tuesday
Tomorrow, December 3, is Giving Tuesday, the global generosity movement.
This year, see your gift double (big or small) as every donation up to $10,000 will be matched by a generous donor. We thank you for supporting our school as we seek to provide innovative Christian education where every student thrives.
2. Coffee and Connect
This Wednesday, December 4 from 8:25-9:00 AM, we will be having our Coffee and Connect event for parents whose children are currently enrolled with us.
Feel free to join us for a fresh cup of coffee and meet with parents and admin staff. This will take place in the foyer by the front office.
3. Christmas Market
This Thursday, December 5, our Christmas market for grades K-8 will be taking place in the gym. Thank you for all of your generous donations.
As we get closer to the date, we are still looking for donations of wrapping paper and large bags for bigger items.
Students will be able to purchase these items at $2 and will be gift wrapped by our events team and other parent volunteers. Please have your child bring toonies and a personal bag to take their gifts home.
Please note: any remaining items will be donated after the event. All funds raised will go to Maple Ridge/Pitt Meadows Christmas Hamper society to continue the theme of giving.
Note: We are not in need of any non-gift type non-perishable food items.
For any questions or concerns, please contact Jessica Marando.
