MIDDLE SCHOOL 

 

Dear MS Parents, Students, and Staff,

 

Thorpe & Mathias Celebrated Its 70th Anniversary:  

On Friday, March 20th, all Middle School students participated in the annual Thorpe & Mathias: Track & Field event as part of their Physical Education unit. The entire school was divided into two teams: Thorpe (blue) and Mathias (yellow), continuing a long-standing tradition of friendly competition and school spirit.

Throughout the unit, students selected three events from shot put, long jump, high jump, sprints, and hurdles. This allowed them not only to develop and demonstrate their motor skills, but also to put into practice their self-management and self-navigation skills, challenging themselves both physically and mentally.

This year’s tournament was especially meaningful, as it marked the 70th anniversary of this cherished event at the school. Reaching such a milestone made the day even more memorable, celebrating decades of participation, teamwork, and athletic growth within the school community.

We are proud to announce that this year’s winning team is… Thorpe! 

We would also like to highlight some outstanding individual achievements.

 Congratulations to the following students for breaking middle school records:

• Valentino Macri (8th) – Long Jump: set a new record of 4.73 m, surpassing the previous record of 4.55 m.
• Ellen Sandstrom (8th) – Hurdles: set a new record of 11.28 seconds, breaking the previous record of 12.14 seconds.
• Ashton Blakeney (8th) – 400 m Sprint: set a new record of 54.24 seconds, beating the previous record of 59.75 seconds.

Congratulations to all students for their effort, enthusiasm, and sportsmanship throughout the event. Ms. Dai Agradnik & Mr. Tremblay are very proud of all the students for their commitment, positive attitude, and willingness to challenge themselves throughout the unit.  You can view a video of the event with this link: Thorpe & Mathias Video

 

Focus on Learning  

Grade 7 Spanish - Levels 3 & 4: Students explored poetry through odes and haikus. They wrote their own poems, which were later displayed for a gallery walk. During this activity, students analyzed each other’s work, identifying literary devices and sensory imagery. The task concluded with a final reflection on their learning and creative process.

We invite students and parents to participate in our 2nd round of student/teacher/parent conferences this year.  This is an opportunity for families to connect with teachers and learn more about their child’s learning.  We expect students to participate alongside their parents.   Sign-up for conferences will open Monday, April 13 at 8:00 a.m. and close on Monday the 20th at 4:00 p.m.  Please note that the conferences will be held on the afternoon of Wednesday the 22nd of April and from 2:00-5:30 and on Friday the 24th from 8:00-3:30 p.m.  We will send out a reminder and additional information before Monday the 20th including the link to our Conference Manager Quick Start Guide for Parents.
