This morning, students in Mrs. Johnston's primary TEAM class took a body break from their reading assessments.

Repetition and daily practice are important aspects of an individualized reading programme. Every morning, Ms. van Beers practises different elements of the programme with her Primary TEAM students. This morning, she worked with Emma on a a sight word-based reading activity that helps with reading high frequency words.

TEAM school has completed this year's election cycle and we are excited to post a picture from the very first meeting of the entire council. Students involved in parliament will have the opportunity to put their own stamp on the school year.  Mr. Dorey and Ms. Passi are looking forward to what the future brings!

The TEAM School Thanksgiving Food Drive concluded today. We are so proud of our TEAM School Student Parliament members for organizing this event and super grateful for our amazing community who helped to make it successful! In addition to the non-perishable items that were donated, we harvested basil and a variety of lettuces from our Tower Garden so that they can be used in the Compass Food Bank kitchen.

During mindfulness class, the children in Ms. Gerlai's class came up with a list of things to keep them calm: taking a nap, getting a squeezy hug, reading a book, taking a bath, walking, smelling something sweet, or drawing a picture.

A calming activity close to Hallowe'en is braiding orange witch hair while listening to music. The students recommend these activities. Give them a try!

The Grade 4s completed their unit on Rocks by growing beautiful crystals. Students designed their crystal forms into necklaces, animals, Christmas tree ornaments, and they even crystalized a car!

Entering its 24th year, the Mentor College/TEAM School Fashion Show has contributed to the over $1,000,000 raised by the school for local hospitals and charities. This student-run event brings together students from all divisions of Mentor/TEAM – with the result being a world-class gala event that makes a difference in the community.

The students are proud to present TIMELESS on Saturday, April 15, 2023.  This charity event involves the entire school and is produced by our high school students with the help and support of parents and faculty for an audience of more than 1000 guests.  

Our last in-person event in 2019 raised $40,000 and this year, our goal is to generate $60,000. Proceeds raised from this event will support the redevelopment of Trillium Health Partners Mississauga Hospital site, specifically supporting the Women’s and Children’s Unit.

The Culture Show is back! On Wednesday February 15, students from all divisions of Mentor and TEAM will join together in one of the schools’ largest school-wide events! The double gym at the Main Campus will transformed into a multicultural extravaganza – including music, dance, food, and celebration! Led by the students in the high school division, all students in the school partake in the event, either as performers, pavilion guides, executive members, or visitors.

Watch the promo video!

The event started in 2004 with twelve countries sharing their cultures and traditions with students, teachers, and parents. In the following years, the show quickly gained popularity with students – so much that the event now regularly features over 40 pavilions – with three spectacular concerts taking place throughout the day.

What makes the Celebration of Cultural Diversity so special is that it is entirely student-run. Of course, staff support is ever-present, but when it comes to scheduling, logistics, concerts, and everything else, it is all up to the student organizing committee!

The Emergent Leaders would like to thank all the students and teachers at TEAM School for participating in our Valentine’s Day initiative. One hundred and sixty handmade cards, along with roses and assorted flowers, were delivered yesterday to the seniors and health care workers at Extendicare Mississauga. There’s no doubt we’ve spread some smiles today.

TEAM School‘s outdoors club visited High Park for a year-end scavenger hunt last week. The students used compasses and their wits to problem-solve the course and ultimately came home victorious. It was a fabulous day for a walk in the park. Mr. Dorey and Ms. Chalmers appreciated getting to spend the day with such a fun and appreciative group of students.
