(MPUE) is a volunteer-driven, non-profit organization dedicated to the promotion, enhancement and expansion of the English-Ukrainian Bilingual Program in Manitoba. MPUE is the umbrella organization which provides support for the parent organizations associated with each of the schools providing the English-Ukrainian Bilingual Program (EUBP). Enrolling your child in the EUBP provides a strong connection to community, with inter-school activities that occur beginning in grade 4, with other EUBP students from across the Province. We see EUBP students develop friendships beyond just their own school. Learning another language - particularly among young children - can help your child with listening skills, improve cognitive abilities, enhance communication skills in their first language and develop a deeper understanding of culture. For more information, visit www.mpue.ca/kindergarten or email: mpueinc@mpue.ca

The free preschool program at R. F. Morrison is for children ages 0-6 and their parent/caregiver. Together with your child you will participate in stories, rhymes and songs, art activities, nutritious snacks, free play and gym time. This is a great opportunity for your child to be part of our school environment, to learn and grow with their peers. The program is offered on Mondays and Wednesdays 9:05 a.m. - 10:50 a.m.
