Students who missed the September 14^th Photo Day will have an opportunity to retake their photos on the morning of October 26^th. Contact Mr. Morris at Mackenzie if you have any questions about Photo Retake Day.

There is still room available for Mackenzie students interested in going on the March break trip to Europe in 2017.  We will be visiting Madrid, Florence and Rome, and have an exciting event-packed agenda.  The window of opportunity to register for the trip closes in November.  All interested parents should contact either Mr. Simpson or Mr. O’Brien at school.  The number is 416-395-3330.

Student Council and Athletic Council are running a four day Terry Fox initiative that will culminate to a school wide run on Thursday September 29th at 11:00am during second period. For $2.00, students will be able to purchase fashionable “soles,” reminiscent of Terry Fox’s journey, and place these soles around the school to proudly dedicate these individual soles as a celebration to all cancer survivors and, as a commemoration of life. With each sole purchased, students will also receive a raffle ticket to vie for the prize of a pair of lower bowl Raptors’ tickets to the Denver Nugget’s game in October valued at $400.00. The winner of the raffle will be announced during the run on Thursday. All proceeds raised from our Student and Athletic Council initiative will be generously donated to The Canadian Cancer Society.   

We look forward to seeing you there!
