A Special Wish and Celebration!


Today marks a very special day as we celebrate the end of our portable classrooms!  The students, staff and myself could not be happier about the move to our brand new school!

I want to thank all of you for your support, kindness and enthusiasm, as this was not an easy feat!  In 3 weeks, we will walk into our new buildings and begin a new era of Edna Maguire.  The plans and possibilities for learning, celebrating and growing as a community in our new school are endless.  I’m finding it hard to put into words how excited and grateful I am. 

I owe a huge appreciation to the staff and teachers for their flexibility, leadership and positive attitude through the huge task of moving twice and setting up beautiful classrooms for our children to learn in.    I am looking forward to putting my construction hat away and enjoying spending more time with students in the school’s wonderful surroundings!

January 6th will be a special Spirit Day!  This is going to be a “black tie” affair!  Please plan on wearing something special for this very exciting day.  (Anything that is considered “dress up.”)    We will be having an all school assembly at 9:30 a.m.  It will be so much fun to be back together again!  The classrooms will also be open from 8:30-8:45 a.m. for all families to walk their children into the building.

On Sunday, January 12, from 2-4 we are having an Open House to say thank you for your support in this process.  WE MADE IT!  J

 Sending a Happy Holiday Wish to all of you for a safe and happy winter break.

I will see you in 2014!

Trash Free Tuesdays - Starts December 10th


Trash Free Tuesdays- Starting December 10th!

Edna Maguire's Green Team is excited to announce that we will be having our first Trash Free Tuesday on December 10th!  All students will be asked to pack their lunch with food and materials that can be reused, recycled or composted, as opposed to thrown away.  Please help us on our first Trash Free Tuesday by avoiding disposable packaging when preparing your child's lunch.  Thank you for your support!
