A huge thank you to all of our wonderful MDPS families who participated in our first-ever Halloween Cake-Off!

The cakes this year were absolutely amazing, and we were blown away by the creativity and effort that went into each one! Our students had so much fun admiring all of the spooky and creative creations.

Congratulations to our winners!

Spookiest Cake: Lilian and Violet

Most Creative Cake: Mrs. Burke

Thank you again to everyone who took the time to bake, decorate, and support our school fundraiser. Your participation helped keep this fun Halloween tradition alive, and we hope to make our Cake-Off a new tradition for years to come!

Happy Halloween from all of us at MDPS!

The Grade 3/4 class enjoyed learning about the history of Halloween this week.🎃 They learned the ancient Celts celebrated a festival called Samhain. The Celts believed that they could ward off evil spirits by carving lanterns from turnips and placing them near their homes. Students were fascinated to learn that the original jack-o'-lantern was carved from a turnip! When Irish settlers arrived in North America, they discovered that pumpkins were larger, easier to carve, and more readily available than turnips. Over time, pumpkins became the traditional choice for Halloween jack-o'-lanterns. Our class also compared a real turnip to a pumpkin and learned that turnips are root vegetables. To finish our lesson, some students chose to taste a small piece of raw turnip and shared their thoughts on its unique flavour!

Congratulations to our MDPS cross-country runners who competed at the board meet in North Bay last Friday! Many of our runners achieved personal bests, and everyone gave it their all. It was a fantastic day filled with determination, perseverance, and school spirit. We are so proud of all of you! Go Voyageurs!

As MDPS can longer do the cake draw, we hope to keep this awesome fundraiser alive by creating a cake-off contest in its place! All funds raised go towards student activities, equipment or bussing. Looking forward to seeing everyone’s Halloween cakes again this year and whose cake will be voted ‘Spookiest’ and ‘Most Creative’!

Over the past month, Mme Kylie’s Grade 4/5/6 French Immersion class has been learning about municipal government, local elections, and responsible citizenship. Students were excited to participate in Student Vote, giving them a hands-on opportunity to experience the democratic process and learn the importance of making their voices heard.

Wow MDPS families! You are amazing! Our school more than doubled our Terry Fox fundraising goal of $800! We raised $1649.30!!! As a reward for their efforts, our educators volunteered to get pied in the face. Students who raised funds were chosen at random to pie one of the educators. The students loved it and the educators were great sports about it. Great work voyageurs!

On Thursday, our students and staff proudly participated in our community Terry Fox Walk! Together, we walked 1.5 km in honour of Terry Fox and his incredible legacy of courage, determination, and hope.

It was especially meaningful knowing that all five schools in our community were walking that day with the same purpose, continuing Terry’s dream and supporting cancer research.

We are also incredibly proud to share that our school raised over $1,400! 🎉 A huge thank you to our students, families, staff, and community members who donated and supported our Terry Fox fundraiser.
