Hello AHM Families, 

We hope our families had a great March Break! 

Here is the weekly message for March 8, 2026: 
 

Clothing Store

Our home & school committee has extended the clothing store until Wednesday, March 11th!

Show your school spirit and help your child feel connected to our amazing AHM community. From cozy hoodies to fun tees, there’s something for everyone!  

🛍️ Shop here: https://arnoldhmcleod.itemorder.com/shop/sale/  
⏰ Deadline to order: March 11th. 

Orders will close on March 11th, so be sure to place yours before then. We can’t wait to see our students proudly wearing their AHM gear!  
Grade 5 Grad Hoodies will be available (with grade 5 signatures on the back).  

Service Project for March – Granola Bar Run

We are excited to host our annual AHM Granola Bar Run on April 9th, with special guest Superintendent Mr. MacLean joining us!

Students are invited to donate boxes of granola bars, which will be collected and donated to Feed NB, an organization that supports many students and families in our community.

This is a wonderful initiative that AHM has proudly hosted for several years, and it is always a big hit with our students!

To add a little friendly competition, the K–2 class and the 3–5 class that collect the most granola bar boxes will each win a pizza party for their class.

Please note:
When sending granola bars, please avoid the extra-value (larger) boxes, as they do not fly as well during the run as the regular-sized boxes.

Thank you in advance for your support in helping us make a difference for families in our community!
 

Learning Habit Focus: Initiative
This month at AHM, our learning habit focus is Initiative. Initiative means students take responsibility for their learning by getting started on tasks independently, asking questions when they need help, and looking for ways to go above and beyond. We encourage students to try their best, stay curious, and take pride in their work both at school and at home.
 

Important Dates: 
March 9 – Daylight Saving Time Begins
March 10 – 13 – Mission Impossible is setup in the gym for students in PE
March 11 – Clothing Order Closes  
March 13 – No school for students as it is a professional learning day for teaching staff 
March 16 – Photo day for all school-based clubs/groups 
March 26 – Family Chocolate Bar Bingo  
April 30 – Out of Bounds online application forms close 

Wishing our AHM families a wonderful week!
