PMPS Weekly Update March 24th
Good Morning Mustang Families,
We had a good return this week to learning after the March Break this week. Our olympic playdate before the break was fun as students participated in a variety of activities. Our student leaders did a tremendous job of leading the younger students through the events. Our curling team finished their season this week with their good play at the Orangeville curling club Bonspiel. We’re very proud of their accomplishments.
A reminder that it is a good idea to pack an extra pair of pants in childrens’ backpacks as the snow melts and we have a return to mud. This avoids us having to call home for a pant request during the day.

We want to wish all of our Mustang families who celebrate Ramadan a joyful celebration. Our school has a duty to accommodate for learning, assessments, recess, physical education and sport, lunch and eating, and prayer during Ramadan. We have a multifaith prayer room at our school. It is located in room 101. If your family recognizes Ramadan and needs any of the above accommodations please give me, Mrs. Papavasiliou or your child’s teacher.
Our wonderful Student Council continues to sell milk. The milk costs $1.00 each. Milk sale profits support our Student Council.
