Prior to March Break

7s and 8s: This is just a heads up that that on Friday, March 3rd you'll both be having your Geometry Unit Test. A review sheet will be distributed this week. Similarly next week on Thursday, March 10th you'll also have your assessment in History. Please keep these dates in mind.

Concluding Black History Month

7s and 8s: This was a very rewarding month this year. The work you did and the effort you put into Black History Month is something you should all be proud of. Many classes around Mackenzie Glen participated in the QR art that you've placed around the school and I've heard a lot of compliments regarding the great work you've done. Moving forward, I hope you continue to think about music as poetry and the often rich messages that it often holds.
