Thank you to Mr. Rankin's grade 5/6 class for leading our school ceremony and representing our students on Remembrance Day at the cenotaph. A special thank you to our Merlin Legion for participating at our school ceremony and helping our students learn and recognize. Also, thank you for the wonderful meal that was shared following the service on the 11th.

A massive thank you to the Blenheim Bobcats leadership team for stopping by M.A.P.S. and donating a new outdoor tent featuring both school logos!

This wonderful gift will provide essential shade and shelter for our staff and athletes at Track & Field meets, Cross Country events, and countless other outdoor activities.

We are so grateful for your support!

A huge shoutout to the Chatham Maroons for visiting our M.A.P.S. students! They read, answered questions, and signed autographs.

Smiles all around!

Are you interested in donated to the LKDSB Learning Tree?

A small gift you send, helps the Learning Tree grow. More bids come in, a wonderful sight, for Noelle's Gift, and kids' future bright! In Chatham-Kent and Sarnia-Lambton too, your kindness makes dreams come true.

Merlin Colts - Get ready for SOCK-TOBER!

We had an incredible Education Week at M.A.P.S., filled with learning, creativity, and community spirit! Monday: We wore red on May 5 to raise awareness and promote education about the ongoing violence faced by Indigenous women, girls, and Two-Spirit People. Tuesday: It was a day of discovery and action! Jamie Knight from Leave Your Mark Lacrosse visited to teach our students the fundamentals and techniques of lacrosse. Meanwhile, our intermediate students explored the world of coding by learning how to program using Micro:bits—an exciting introduction to digital creativity! Wednesday: Students put their skills and speed to the test in the exciting Minute to Win It competition. The energy was electric! Thursday: The Dufflebag Theatre delighted us with a hilarious and interactive performance of Snow White. That evening, our talented students proudly showcased their creativity at the Art Show. Friday: Secondary students spent quality time with intermediate students, enjoying fun summer-themed activities and building connections across grades. To top it all off, everyone enjoyed delicious Walking Tacos generously provided by our amazing Home and School team! It was a week to remember!
