Staffing Update

Ms. Garvin is currently on medical leave in advance of her maternity leave. We wish her all the best as we await the arrival of her baby. A substitute will be in place to take over Ms. Garvin's classes until spring break. A temporary teacher will be in place after spring break to cover April - June.

Ms. Moore and Ms. Gibson have also completed their time at MSS while covering for Ms. Schroeder in CSSI. With great appreciation, we thank them for supporting the MSS community,

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.
