🚲 The Bike Road-eo is BACK!

Mark your calendars for May 4th — this exciting event is open to students in Grades 2–6.

Participants will need:

Before hitting the course, students will complete a written safety quiz with their teachers to make sure they’re road-ready.

Top riders from each grade (based on safety + road skills) will earn a spot at the regional competition at Alder Recreation Centre on Saturday, June 13 at 8:30 AM.

Get ready to ride, learn, and have some fun! 🚴‍♂️

It’s been a week full of April showers here at Ross R. MacKay Public School 🌧️

Thank you to all families for sending students prepared with raincoats, boots, splash pants and everything needed to stay comfortable outdoors. We continue to prioritize outdoor time whenever possible (weather permitting!), and having the right gear makes all the difference in keeping students happy and active.
