Manor Park School showcases unique outdoor learning opportunity

Planting Day, May 1^st and 2^nd, for the butterfly garden was a huge success! Many thanks to the parents, teachers and community volunteers who worked hard to create an outdoor learning environment for Manor Park students. A special thank you to Darrell Kekanovich, manager at Ritchie’s Feed and Seed, principal Shari Brodie and Lana Burpee of the Manor Park Community Council. Read the rest of this entry »

You’re Invited!!

Saturday, May 23 is Manor Park’s annual May Fair.  This is the Home and School Association’s biggest fundraiser of the year, and is a favourite among kids from the school and around the city.  Come join us for games, refreshments, and much more. The event will be at Manor Park Public School, 100 Braemar St., Ottawa

Want to Volunteer?

Each year, our biggest challenge is finding a sufficient number of volunteers for the event.  We can always use more.  High school students should know that hours spent volunteering at May Fair can go towards fulfilling their volunteer requirements.  Please contact the volunteer office at manorparkschoolcouncil@yahoo.ca

On May 4, the Manor Park School Choir joined students from around the country in celebrating Music Monday, a country-wide sing-a-long highlighting the importance of music education in Canada.  The Manor Park students were among those who sang on Parliament Hill.   The video (which I can’t seem to embed on the blog for some reason), is available on the Ottawa Citizen website:

• Music Monday on the Hill

Also, the sponsors of the event, the Coalition for Music Education in Canada, have a clip of the CBC feature on Music Monday across Canada:

On a related note, the Manor Park School choir has clearly become a huge hit with students and parents alike.   Teachers Joanna Harvey and Kendra Durnford deserve special praise for putting all this together.
