| community whether they are a long-time family member or someone visiting for the first time. This process not only allows us to be aware of everyone walking into the building, but it also enables us to better account for everyone in the event of an emergency. We value an open, welcoming environment that ensures the safety and well-being of our students. I know that our community's safety is also important to you, so I expect you will see the value and importance of supporting me by following these procedures. If you have any questions please do not hesitate to come see me. Warm regards, John Wray Head of School

| PEOPLE OF MULGRAVE - JACK DECOOMAN (G12) | |
|
|
| As we headed back to school from our break we caught sight of Jack DeCooman as he signed a National Letter of Intent during the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) Early Signing Period. Jack will be playing for University of Washington's (UW) baseball team. The future Husky was all smiles as he put pen to paper and fulfilled a goal he worked hard for. | |
|
|
| Currently ranked the No. 1 pitcher out of British Columbia by Perfect Game, Jack has played for the Canadian Junior National Team in both the 2016 and 2017 season. In 2016 he was named to the Perfect Game All-American Honourable Mention. In a quote to media, Lindsay Meggs, his UW coach, shared that Jack, "has the potential to be a front line guy in this league. He's already shown good command of three pitches, sitting 84-88 with the fastball, while having good feel for both his change and his breaking ball."

At congested times, please park thoughtfully and do not cause any obstruction to traffic flow, especially in areas where the school buses have to navigate turns. | |
