Volunteers Needed
Maniwaki Woodland School is able to offer the Thursday Hot Lunch Program through the support of volunteers. We are now in search of additional help to ensure that we are able to continue to provide this service to the students for the remaining months of this school year. If you are available to help with hot lunches please contact the school by phone or by sending a note to the office. Help is needed to prepare, serve and/or clean- up.

Each month the school selects a goal that we all work towards. The goal for the month of March was “Thoughtfulness”. Teachers and students discussed ways that we could demonstrate thoughtfulness and classroom teachers selected the student who they felt most exemplified this quality throughout the month! These students were presented with an award at a school assembly and were recognized for the positive contributions they make to school life. Congratulations to the following students who were chosen as Students of the Month for March:
- Oceane Blais (Pre- Kindergarten)

Theme
The theme for the months of April and May is “Not in My School”. The focus of the theme is that we all have a role to play in the prevention of bullying and that bullying and intimidation is not accepted in our school.
