Week at a Glance December 1 - 5, 2025
Vaccinations – NEW DATE AHS had canceled our grade 6 vaccinations from last Monday with the possible strike action. Now that they have settled, we will be holding vaccinations for Grade 6 students on December 1, 2025. Containers - We still have a few containers from the Teacher Appreciation Day treats. If you are missing one, please come by the office to check in.
Winter Show
Our grade 1 and 2 students will be celebrating the winter season on December 11 with a winter show! Please plan to join us for the great event if you have a child in grades 1 or 2. We have divided our shows this year to help fit our audience into the gym. With that said, we have 125 grade 1 and 2 students and a gym with a capacity of about 300. We ask that only parents and immediate family attend to ensure we have space for all. Doors will open at 5:45 pm sharp. Students will go directly to their classrooms, and family members can go to the gym. MAPSS is excited to launch our Holiday Shopping Fundraiser in support of our Montessori programs. Please watch for the flyer that will come home in your child’s backpack. A portion of all sales will go directly back to your school to help fund Montessori materials, classroom enhancements and future MAPSS initiatives. The deadline for orders is Monday, December 2, at 11:59 p.m. All orders will be delivered directly to your school for easy pickup. Thank you for your support.
Please see the attached flyer for more information.
The Killarney School Council
The Killarney Annual Fundraiser is up to $13,130 this week. Last Friday, the students enjoyed a school-wide pyjama day to celebrate! We are $1,870 away from our next milestone of $15,000, at which point the teachers will take part in a student vs. teachers poetry slam contest to celebrate! We are on the final home stretch of our campaign to raise $25,000. Please remember that all donations go directly back into the school to enrich our education program for the students and teachers. All donations are eligible for tax receipts as we enter the last few weeks of the year. This is the perfect time of year to take advantage of corporate matching programs; many employers will match your donation, doubling your impact on our school community. If every family donated $125 per student, we would reach our goal. Let's finish the year strong, Killarney!
