Molly Minute: Weekly Update
June 7, 2024
Dear Molly Brant Families,
Happy June! Time is sure flying by. Can you believe there are only three weeks left until the end of the academic year? June is a very busy month at Molly! There have been lots of amazing learning opportunities for students both in and outside of the classroom. Our grade 7 and 8 students went to Wonderland this past week and we were very impressed with how they represented our school. Thank you to our all of the adults that made this possible!
Many of our students participated in Marathon Club this past month with the goal of completing a marathon by walking or running. Today, many classes completed their final lap. Way to go!
We hope you will join us for some amazing things this week: our school musical, WILLY WONKA (Tuesday 5:30 & 7:00) and our Year End BBQ (Thursday 4-6 pm). Please see more info below.
TRACK AND FIELD - DISTRICT MEET
We had 23 Thunder athletes represent our school this week at Districts! We are so proud of their efforts, how they represented our school and their athleticism and team work! GO THUNDER GO!
WILLY WONKA School Musical
Tickets are now ON SALE for our musical. Our musical will take place on Tuesday, June 11 with 2 options to watch: 5:30 pm and 7 pm. Look for a ticket order form coming home this weekend or pop into the office to purchase your tickets. $10 for a family of 4 OR $3 per ticket. CASH ONLY please. A canteen will be available.
YEAR END BBQ
We hope many of our families will join us for our Year End BBQ on Thursday, June 13th from 4-6 pm. Burgers, Hot Dogs, Drinks and Ice Cream Sandwiches will be available to purchase (see poster below). There will also be a special performance by the Molly Brant Choir and the Molly Brant grade 7 & 8 Band @ 4:30 on the stage inside.
EQAO - that's a wrap!
Over the past 2 weeks, our Grade 3 and 6 students have been writing the provincial standardized assessment EQAO. EQAO–the Education Quality and Accountability Office–is an independent agency of the Ontario government. EQAO assesses elementary and secondary students’ achievement in Reading, Writing and Mathematics across the province. Student results will be available by the end of September 2024. An Individual Student Report will be generated for each student, and provincial, school board and school results will be available on EQAO’s public website. Stay tuned in the fall for more information.

2024-25 Kindergarten Registration Information
Welcome to Kindergarten! This is an exciting time for both you and your student. Kindergarten is a wonderful experience and your student’s next phase on their journey of learning.
We are now accepting new student registrations for this September 2024. If your student is four or five by the end of December, now is the time to register.
Kindergarten offers a wonderful new world of learning and growing. We learn how to read, how to write and we make new friends. Your student will be challenged and encouraged to do their very best. In Kindergarten classrooms, a teacher and an early childhood educator work together as a team. This partnership helps to create a nurturing learning environment; giving every student the opportunity to learn in the way that is best suited to their individual strengths and needs. Our caring team of educators is with them every step of the way!
We look forward to meeting you!
