The school year may be winding down, but there are lots of activities still going on for the Mustangs.
SHARE/Go Green ran their e-waste drive on Saturday, June 16. The project was to make sure that old electronics get recycled and don’t end up in landfills. As well as collecting electronics, there was a clothing collection as well to raise money for the Cerebral Palsy foundation.
There is a new campaign that SHARE/Go Green has signed up for, called Givalry.ca. This website sells organic, zero waste, non toxic, and vegan products. The organization is female founded, and donates 25 percent of each purchase to the SHARE group. In order to support our school, just type in Manitoulin Secondary School when you first open the site. The money raised from this campaign will go towards making MSS more eco-friendly: buying trees, more gardens, plants for the courtyard, and other tools.
SHARE is having their end of year potluck on Wednesday, June 20. This year, the group has raised thousands of dollars through their fundraising, building a school in Nicaragua and beginning to raise money for a school in Tanzania via the Brick by Brick campaign.

After several months of Spies sneaking around MSS, the game has finally ended. Max Cooper won the SpyMaster title, along with a $300 gift card to Best Buy. Max also won last year, meaning he has become the ultimate SpyMaster.
