May's Meeting

Thank you to everyone who came to the meeting last night. We had another great turnout and got through a lot of material. Special thanks to Mrs. Sarginson who took the floor to explain her philosophy regarding teaching, learning, and children in general. I once again can forward my confidence to the McKenzie Towne parents that they and their kids are in good hands.

Some quick notes from last night:
  • Write-a-thon starts next week
  • Proposed school hours and calendar were presented, posting on that to follow
  • We will be planning Alien in-line and HOJA for next year
  • Staff presented some great feedback regarding our Artist-in-Residence program
  • The engagement process for decision making regarding school accommodation in our communities after next year was presented - details to follow
  • Sherry/Sherri/Annika gave us an ASCA AGM report and review
  • Skate Park Demo will be on June 3
  • The foyer cabinet project is on pace for completion
  • The McKenzie Towne Parent Association establishment group gave us an update
  • Nick explained some of the work he is doing with the CBE steering committee
  • much more...
Details on all of this and more will be available in the minutes after they are ratified.

    I agree with Roxanne. As someone with a low tolerance for lengthy meetings, I was happily surprised at how efficient it was! Good job, Lynn, for your timing expertise!

    As a past survivor of dreaded board meetings in the business sector (long ago in the age of the dinosaurs) I can happily say the Haultain meetings are wonderful! They're efficient, informative and friendly.

    I'm appreciative of the fact that these meetings are both time sensitive and filled with valuable information. I come away feeling like attending was the best possible use of my time. Thanks to those who plan and carry them out!
