December 1, 2017 'Tis the season to come together as a community and enjoy food, music, performances, and wonderful company! We look forward to sharing many memorable moments with you throughout the month of December. The annual Baking Buffet is one of our favourite days of the year. Faculty and staff genuinely appreciate the time and effort of our parents. The buffet will take place on December 6th from 10:00am to 1:00pm. The MVP needs more volunteers to bake and help out with event activities. Click the links to get involved: Our Senior School cast members have been working hard rehearsing for this year's production, The Children's Hour. It would mean a great deal to them to have the support of our community at their play. The Children's Hour was written in 1934, but the story is even more relevant today. The students will bring to life the devastating consequences of gossip and rumours. We hope you and your family can join us for this thought-provoking performance. Join us for our annual Grad Christmas Tree Sale and Winter Wonderland! All families are invited to come and pick out a holiday tree, sit on Santa's knee, decorate cookies, and enjoy hot chocolate. All proceeds go towards the purchase of the Grad Legacy gift. Please note: Pre-order sales have closed, and only trees will be available for sale tomorrow by cash or cheque. Students are busily preparing musical presentations in class, choirs, and bands for the upcoming holiday season performances, which we hope will add to the spirit of the season! This year, all winter concerts have 'snow' as a unifying theme, which will be showcased in the repertoire presented. All parents are warmly invited to attend the concerts.

GO TITANS GO! Every year during the holiday season, the ELC staff and students hold a 'Mitten Tree Drive'. The Mitten Tree is a fundraising event that encourages families to hang new or handmade mittens, scarves, and/or hats on our ELC Christmas Tree. All items will be donated to a local shelter where children in need will be able to keep warm over the chilly winter months. The tree will be located in the upstairs ELC and will begin on Monday, Dec. 4th. We encourage all families to help with the drive. Thank you! Please join us at Mulgrave for the annual Alumni Basketball Game & Winter Social on Thursday, December 21st at 6:00pm. There will be basketball battles, a photo booth, tasty appetizers, beer, and holiday cheer! We look forward to seeing you and your family return to the school for the most beloved alumni event of the year. ©2017 Mulgrave School |
