Lest We Forget

In Flanders Fields By John McCrae In Flanders fields the poppies blow Between the crosses, row on row, That mark our place; and in the sky The larks, still bravely singing, fly Scarce heard amid the guns below. We are the Dead. Short days ago We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow, Loved and were loved, and now we lie, In Flanders fields. Take up our quarrel with the foe: To you from failing hands we throw The torch; be yours to hold it high. If ye break faith with us who die We shall not sleep, though poppies grow In Flanders fields.

Semester One Changes

Due to labour disruption, no final exam will be administered in all courses. The course mark will stand as the student’s final grade. There will no longer be change in schedule for exams. Regularly scheduled classes will take place until Friday, January 23. January 26 will have no scheduled classes but will be made available to teachers and students who require an additional day due to conflicts, etc. This is directed through the class teacher. Students are also welcome to come to school if they require a course change for semester two. January 27 will be available for course changes for semester two. January 28 is the start of semester two, but will be a professional development day for MMM staff.

MMM Awards

We will not be holding an awards evening this school year. Student awards will be distributed to current MMM students at school. Students no longer at MMM will be contacted and provided a time to come to MMM and receive their award during the school day. This will take place in December.

Jubilee Project

2025 is the year of Jubilee. MMM is approaching this special year in two ways.

Stained Glass Window

The school has embarked on a legacy project to have stained glass installed on the window of the school chapel. The stained glass will form a cross on the exterior window to the chapel allowing it to be viewed from the inside and outside of the chapel.

We are providing families with an opportunity to donate to support this legacy project. Donations to the project can be made through your powerschool portal. Donations of $100 or greater will receive a stained glass cross made from the same glass that will be placed in the school to commemorate the installation of the larger cross in the school. Our goal is to have the larger cross installed before the end of 2025 with small crosses being delivered to donors in the spring of 2026. We are excited to ad this symbol of our faith to our school.
