Grade 9 Market

The Grade 9 Market will be held at McKenzie Highlands School on Thursday May 16. The grade 9’s will be using their knowledge from Math and Social to create a business plan, market for a product, survey, calculate costs, and sell a product. We will be in the gymnasium and outside throughout the day selling items to all members of MHS. The total amount made at the Market will go towards the grade 9 farewell.

The Fashion Department is looking for second hand denim donations

Send your dusty denim to our Fashion Department! This spring in Fashion, we are channeling our creativity and sewing skills into an upcycling project called, How Green Are Your Jeans?

We are looking to collect lots of used clean denim items for this project, as grade 7 students will be participating in designing and fabricating upcycled denim. 

Please drop off your clean denim donations to the office.
