Friday, March 7 | 8:30 AM | Front of School (Under the Gazebo)
Looking for a relaxed way to connect with other parents? Join us for our Coffee Morning Mingle! It’s a super laid-back, friendly hangout where you can chat, make new friends, ask questions about the school, and meet some staff who may drop by. No agenda—just a great chance to connect!
We’ll be gathering under the gazebo at the front of the school, rain or shine, with your favourite coffee from JJ Bean. Feel free to drop some loose change in the donation jar for your coffee. 100% of the donations will go directly to our school and kids.
Our first Coffee Morning Mingle is possible thanks to our sponsor, Clementine Natural Health, a boutique health clinic providing holistic healthcare to families throughout British Columbia. Dr. Carley Akehurst, a former member of the McBride community, and her family are thrilled to support our school and this incredible community. Learn more about Clementine Natural Health here: Clementine Natural Health.
