Day 1

Cougar PRIDE Shout Out to all the students who come in through the office doors after lunch. I appreciate your good manners. You’ve been polite all year long and with every day that passes, I see more smiles, I hear more thank yous, and more wishes to have a good afternoon. I love it!

Earlier this spring, the Town of Quispamsis held a Bike Park Trail Naming Contest coordinated by the Parks Department and trail sponsor Millennium Cycle. The winning names have been chosen and we‘re very pleased to let you know that three of the four winners are from QMS! Congratulations to:

Music: A big congratulations to the Senior Band, Singing Club and Beginner Band on your fantastic performances last Thursday night at KV High.  Your performances were polished and reflected the hard work and growth in your music over the year.  Bravo!

Today is our last after school Senior Band practice! It will end at 4pm!

All Beginner Band and Singing Club members who are going on the elementary band tour need to have your emergency contact form filled out.  This was sent by email.  If you would rather take a paper copy home, please see Ms. Rattray.

If you were one of the songwriters in QMS Reads with Hilary, there is going to be an exciting opportunity to record the songs next week.  Please see Ms. Rattray at any point during the noon hour to receive information about this.
