Dear Parents/Guardians,
Many of you will have heard that a backpack believed to belong to Mariam Makhniashvili has been found in the rear parking lot at 120 Eglinton Ave. E. The bag was open when found. Contents included school books and loose leaf binders. Police believe that the bag may have been moved prior to its discovery. Officers will be canvassing the neighbourhood for witnesses and checking available video from the area. Up to forty officers will be searching for additional clues for as long as there is light today. They are also asking residents to remember back to the days after Mariam's disappearance to try to recall anything they might have seen that would help in their investigation. If you have any information, please call Crime Stoppers at (416) 222-TIPS (8477). Our school community joins with students, parents, and residents all across the city to hope that Mariam will soon be found safe. Please have a safe and happy Thanksgiving weekend. Joel Gorenkoff Principal
