SOAR Fundraiser 

The SOAR Group (Students Organize Awareness & Response) at Mariposa Elementary School, with grade 8 student leaders Fionnuala and Emily M, raised a staggering $819.59 for the Humane Society of Kawartha Lakes (HSKL).  How did they manage that?  They organized, promoted, sold, wrote notes, and delivered over 400 candy-grams.  Wow!  SOAR Group teacher leader, Ms. L. Moore and all of us here at Mariposa are so proud of Fionnuala, Emily, and their team of volunteers.  

Shawna Sommerville from HSKL happily received the donation cheque.  Thank you so much to the Mariposa community for your support!

Girls at Bat Program

This year Mariposa has been accepted as a Blue Jays affiliate school through the Jays Care Foundation. The foundation runs programs at schools to support marginalized students get involved in sports.  This week we were thrilled to kick off the Girls at Bat program for girls in Grades 3-5.

Today our athletes demonstrated respect, participation, positivity and flexibility! We thank our Junior Leaders from Grade 7 and 8 for being great role models. We look forward to building our skills, relationships and fitness together!
