DSAC Student Miranda Tymoschuk From Maple Ridge Pitt Meadows Addresses WE Day
WE Day 2013
I had the amazing opportunity to travel to WE Day (Friday October 18th, 2013) with 15 students from secondary schools across our district. These amazing students are currently serving on the DSAC (District Student Advisory Council) Executive Council and will be involved in leadership activities around our district over the 2013 - 2014 school year. They will be teaching leadership skills to elementary students and raising awareness about issues in our community through the COR (Celebration of Respect) Project in May 2014.
Here is the clip of Miranda speaking at WE Day. I filmed this from my seat, which was quite far from the stage so it is difficult to see her in this video. Please listen to the audio and hear the poise with which she speaks to the 20, 000 plus people in Rogers Arena. Way to go Miranda!

Welcome Back to MRSS Students and Staff
Hello All - just wanted to put out a quick post to welcome everyone back to MRSS for the 2013 - 2014 year. Very excited to be a part of the MRSS team. This will be the start of my second year at MRSS and, as always, there are so many great things going on. Here are just a few I thought I would mention:
Keith Hawkins, an amazing motivational speaker, will be coming at the end of the month (Sept 26th) to speak to our students. Please see his website at http://www.keithhawkins.com/ to learn more about Keith and his amazing message.
On the sports front, we have a new Field Lacrosse Team starting up. Ms. Urdahl-Serr, one of our MRSS teachers, will be heading that up. See her for details.
With regard to professional development the district has invited Mr. Alfie Kohn to speak to educators on the September 23rd Pro D Day. Mr. Kohn will be speaking on assessment and motivation. Please see his website for more information: http://www.alfiekohn.org
Speaking of new things happening this year we have two new administrators - Mr. Trevor Connor (Principal) and Ms. Tricia McCuaig (Vice Principal) - I've known both Mr. Connor and Ms. McCuaig for many years and I believe that both of them will be amazing assets for MRSS . Looking forward to an amazing year. As always I feel privileged and honoured to be part of the MRSS team. Have a great 2013 - 2014 school year everyone!
