Welcome to the MacNeill Blog.

In an effort to strengthen the partnership between school and home, I have created this Blog (web log/journal) that will highlight many MacNeill events and the accomplishments of those in our school community. There are so many things that happen on a daily basis at MacNeill and I hope this blog will give you a greater understanding of your child's school experience. I will also be posting my personal perspective on various educational issues in an effort to stimulate thought, promote reflection and create meaningful discussions. The blog will be updated frequently. Parents, Teachers and Students are encouraged to visit the blog on a regular basis and to read, learn, comment and share in our journey throughout the year.

Halloween @ MacNeill


Halloween is always a fun time to celebrate in schools because there are many events that occur. 

Our student council organized a very successful Halloween Dance on Oct. 20th from 6:30-9:30pm.  This was our first dance of the year and over 270 tickets were sold. Students filled the small gym, many dressed in costumes, and danced all night long.  In typically MacNeill fashion, all the students that attended were exceptionally well behaved.



The student council also worked hard to host the "Haunted House."  They transformed
part of the school theatre and guided students through their haunted maze. 








The entire haunted house was a student led event.  The students planned all the details, built and designed the sets and costumes, and coordinated the visitors.  As you can see from the pictures, they did a great job!



Many of our elementary feeder schools brought their classes through the haunted house, and we could tell that the kids were scared by the frequent screams that came from the theatre and could be heard inside the office.





Entrance into the haunted house was by a 50 cent donation or 2 cans of non-perishable food which was all donated to the food bank.
They were all smiling in these pictures, but they could quickly resume their scary characters to spook the next group of visitors.
