Mack's Packs is a new program that is similar to a scholarship program but the winning entries will receive a back pack full of school supplies to ensure they are prepared for a new school year. Students will enter a category of their choice and will be judged according to content. All entries will be on the importance of education while maintaining an identity as a First Nations person.

Spring has sprung!
Spring has sprung in my own classroom and for me its a time of organizing and assessments, assessments, assessments! With this in mind I understand the importance of balancing not only school demands but demands from programs such as this. As a teacher I know of the importance of seeing students prepared for testing (provincial, assessments, etc.) and this is one way they can be prepared for the beginning of a school year. So get those entries in! In my own classroom I ensure for this time of the school year they are prepared for tests with calculators, pencils, erasers, etc. because I know that students feel more confident and tend to do better when they have the necessary tools. Happy assessments and essay writing!
