MSS School Council is also proud to present an engagement session called "Mirror Mirror" featuring Alison Springer on April 16, 2026 at 6:30pm @ MSS. Food trucks will be available outside MSS starting at 5:00pm.

"Mirror Mirror is an entertaining presentation with a powerful message that inspires students to lead by embracing who they are and how they were made. Alison helps students expose the ‘lying mirrors’ in their lives and the three causes that distort how they view themselves (media, comparison and things that people say). Students will learn positive and helpful ways to protect their dignity and the dignity of others. Alison shares some of the struggles she faced being black, tall and loud, along with her academic struggles. Students will realize that their strengths and weaknesses serve a specific purpose." - https://youthspeakers.ca/speaker/alison-springer/ 

This is a free event for MSS community members, their families, and their children. Food trucks are an additional cost. If you plan on attending, please RSVP HERE.

Fine Arts Update & Request for Donations

Our Fine Arts students will be participating in Wet Felting activities in the near future which will be facilitated by Ms. Walker. We have invested funds in order to be able to provide opportunities for Wet Felting in the long term, but with this comes the need for your support. We are looking to collect used towels and terry cloth hand towels to use for these workshops and would like to ask for your donations.  In order to run one workshop, we will need a minimum of 40 (hand towel size/20 bath towels cut in half). If you have any old towels that you no longer need, we would love to have them. These do not need to be pretty, they simply need to be absorbent and clean! Donations can be sent to school with your child(ren) and/or dropped off in the main office.

Thanks for your help in making this learning opportunity possible!
Ms. Lauren Walker

Papa Johns / MSS Pizza Fundraiser

MSS Athletics Update - Volleyball & Badminton

The volleyball season has officially come to an end. Congratulations to all student athletes and coaches for successful games and tremendous leadership and sportsmanship displayed - we are very proud of you. Special note to our boys team who won the Springs Smash Tournament, the Scarlett Feeder Tournament, and the Division Championship. Please visit the MSS Volleyball webpage for more details.

MSS will be running ONE Badminton Team, a one-day cut process consisting of 22 players total! To ensure fairness and equity in the tryout process, the following rollout plan will be implemented:

1. Tryout Structure
The tryout process will include a one-day-cut process. We already have additional volunteers organized who will support during the tryout days so that we have multiple evaluators present, allowing for more balanced and objective decision-making.

  • Tryouts: the link to sign-up is in your child's homeroom Google Classroom.
    • Tryout #1: Grade 8/9 ONLY - April 1, 2026 @ 800-900am.
    • Tryout #2: Grade 6/7 ONLY - April 2, 2026 @ 800-900am.
    • Tryout #3 INVITE ONLY - April 8, 2026 @ 800-900am.
    • Tryout #4 INVITE ONLY - April 9, 2026 @ 800-900am.

2. Development Opportunities
Badminton development days have also been scheduled on Mondays (Grade 8/9s) and Wednesdays (Grade 6/7s) to ensure that students still have opportunities to improve their skills and remain involved even if they are not selected for the competitive team.

  • Week After Spring Break:
    Open gym badminton time @ Lunch will be available and evenly distributed among grades.
  • Second Week After Spring Break:
    Mondays (Grade 8/9s) and Wednesdays (Grade 6/7s) will be designated Badminton Development Days. SIGN UP Only...This allows students from the first round of cuts to transition into development opportunities the following week.
  • Third Week:
    Badminton development will continue while the team roster becomes more solidified moving forward. Students not on the competitive can still participate in development.

All information for the badminton season of play can be found on the MSS Badminton Webpage.
