Business Day 2018

Congratulations to everyone! 

 Today's Business Day event was a huge success as students hosted and sold their merchandise to the school community.  All students remained in role as they spread awareness about the importance of the pillar of education and supporting children in Sierra Leone by rebuilding schools through WE.org.  Students connected with various guests and made a true impression on how knowledgable they are as entrepreneurs and the importance of their role in Business Day.  

We are so proud! 

I am so proud to see you all step up as a leader!

Thank you to the students who helped out with the set-up and clean-up of the gym!

A special thanks to our parents for your continued support, behind the scenes and upfront!

Photos of the day can be found at our project Twitter account: @McMBusinessDay

HUMBOLDT BRONCOS - Jersey Day Tomorrow: On Friday, April 6th, 2018 there was a tragic accident involving a junior hockey team, the Humboldt Broncos, from Humboldt, Saskatchewan. Fifteen team members lost their lives and thirteen are still in hospital. Thursday, April 12th is Jersey Day at schools and businesses across Canada. Tomorrow, we invite McMurrich students and staff to wear a hockey jersey in honour of the Humboldt Broncos who lost their lives and in support of their friends, families and community. If you do not have a hockey jersey, please wear Green and Yellow (the team colours).
