Announcements

Hey Hawks, it’s Multicultural week! It’s great to see so many of you dressed up! Be sure to get your photo taken at the photo booth in the caf at lunch. Throughout the week we’ll be sharing different cultural facts, and keeping track of them will help you with Thursday’s scavenger hunt. To kick things off, did you now that Mouat students speak over 40 different languages! The top three are English, Punjabi and Arabic! Also, don’t miss tomorrow’s Cultural Fair at lunch, featuring representation from many different cultures, be sure to check it out!

Update on Avian Influenza (H5)

A presumptive case of avian influenza has been reported in the Fraser Health region. While this may be concerning, please rest assured that student and staff safety remains our top priority. There are no confirmed cases within our district schools. Fraser Health, BC’s Chief Veterinarian, and the Ministry of Health are monitoring the situation closely and confirm no known exposure in schools.
