🦋🦋The Principal's Office🦋🦋
What an incredible and busy week it’s been at our school! The energy and excitement have been palpable, and I’m so proud of everything we’ve accomplished together at MGA.
We kicked off the week with an amazing 2nd grade play that beautifully connected to CKLA. What a joy to see our students shine on stage! Our campus was buzzing with enthusiasm during flag football and cheer tryouts, and the Book Character Parade brought in a wonderful crowd of families, filling the playground with creativity and community spirit.
A special shoutout to our ELD department for the Royal Lunch Bunch event, which tied in perfectly with CKLA and the Middle Ages theme. It was a fantastic way to bring learning to life in such a fun and engaging way.
Looking ahead, I’m excited to see what next week brings! As a reminder, Boosterthon/Fun Run begins next week. Please support MGA by signing up for Fun Run. The proceeds will assist us enhance learning. Please remember that it is not too late to apply for free and reduced meals. Families that have been impacted by the government shut down may qualify.
Warmly,
April Murphy
