Happy New Year and I hope you all had a very enjoyable holiday. Your return from holidays brings us into the home stretch for semester one. The fall was very busy for our entire school community.

As we near the end of the semester, it is time to invite our incoming Grade 8's into our school for an open house. This year’s Grade 8 Open House is scheduled for Thursday, January 17th at 6:00 p.m. I would like to invite all future Marauders to this evening in order to learn more about our school and what to expect when you enter into high school. The staff at A. N. Myer is looking forward to meeting with you that night.

To all of our students, I wish you the best on your upcoming exams!
