Friday was an excellent end to February with our All-School Skate at the East Elgin Complex. It was wonderful to spend the afternoon celebrating the end of an action packed month. There were many highs and many lows this February, but the Lord has been faithful through it all. Looking forward to what He has in store for us in March!

Snow Days, and PD Days, and Half Days, OH MY!

It has most definitely been a difficult start to our second semester here at MSCSS. We started the semester off well on Thursday, Jan. 22 only to receive the devastating news that our beloved principal's husband, Mr. Jake Wall, had been killed in a traffic accident. As we mourned the loss of Mr. Wall we were also comforted with the joy of knowing that he is at rest with his Saviour. 

The weather then caused school to be cancelled for Friday, Jan. 30 and Monday, Feb. 2, so today was the first day back to school. Tomorrow will be our last day of school this week because Thursday we host parent-teacher interviews, and Friday the staff has a professional development day. 

I am looking forward to our first full week of classes next week so that we will be able to get into a steady rhythm in our new classes!
