Admin Message

I’m not sure we could start the month of May off with any

better weather. It has been absolutely fabulous out there which

in turn seems to lift the spirits of students and staff alike.

We have a great show coming up on May 18&19. Our spring

drama production will be called Lady Pirates of the Carribean.

Our teachers and thespians have been hard at it for a couple of

months now rehearsing and learning their lines. We will take a

silver donation at the door.

On May 19 our School Community Council is putting on its

annual bike rodeo for students in grades 1-5. Watch for more

details to come.

Our month ends off with a bang as Cassidy in grade 2 is hav-

ing her annual lemonade stand set up on Simpson Avenue on

Friday May 27. A toonie gets you a large glass of lemonade

with all proceeds going to the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation of

Canada.

June 3 is National Heart Garden Day and to celebrate we are

having the grand opening of our heart garden. This has been

an amazing project that will beautify our school, allow us to

expand some of our science outcomes and, most importantly,

honor the Truth and Reconciliation Commission’s work of

acknowledging the impact of residential schools and becoming

aware of the 100 Years of Loss. This project would not have

been possible without the outstanding contributions from :

Tollifson Cable Services, Pat Harrington, Keon’s, the North-

west Community Association, Clark’s Supply, our SCC, Dan

Kreuger, Burleigh Hill, Brad Rattee, and our visionary in all of

this, Claire Kreuger.

Joke of the Month

“What did the environmentalist say about the wind

farm?

I am a huge fan”

S.O.A.R.S.O.A.R. (Safely, Orderly And Respectfully) on the school bus to school!

Students should be at the bus stop 5 minutes before the bus arrives, waiting in a safe place, clear of traffic and at least five metres (15 feet) from where the bus stops.

Students will wait in an orderly manner and avoid playing (When waiting at property belonging to others, we should respect that prop-erty and take care to leave it undamaged).

Students should follow directions from their bus driver. (This demon-strates respect to those with authority who are trying to keep us safe or maintain order).

Students will go directly to assigned seat when entering the bus and keep the aisles and exits clear (This is orderly behavior. An orderly bus minimizes distractions and is safer for students a) walking down the aisle or b) in the case of a sudden stop or emergency evac-uation. This conduct also helps us to minimize inconvenience to the public).

Students will remain properly seated, back against the back of the seat, bottom against the bottom of the seat (safely seated within the compartment) and keep hands to themselves (respectful to others and their personal space).

Students will not eat, drink, chew gum, or bring tobacco, alcohol, drugs, or any other illegal substances on the bus (Helps us to main-tain a neat and orderly environment and keeps us safe).

Students will not carry animals, glass objects, nuisance items, haz-ardous materials, or weapons onto the bus (Maintains a safe environ-ment for all riders, even in case of an emergency or accident).

Students may carry only objects that can be stored in their backpack which is easily carried on their laps or stowed under their seat (This helps us maintain an orderly environment and reduces safety issues that would occur in the event of a sudden stop or emergency evacua-tion).

Students will refrain from using loud voices, profanity, and/or ob-scene gestures, and respect the rights and safety of others.

Students will not extend head, arms, or objects out of the bus win-dows (This is important to student safety in every circumstance).

Students will be totally silent at railroad crossings (The driver is re-quired by law to look and listen after establishing silence on the bus. This is a safety issue).

Students will stay seated until time to get off the bus. The driver will signal when to get up from the bus seat if you are at your stop. Use classroom voices until the unloading (or loading) process is complete. It is an orderly way to unload and increases safety by mini-mizing distractions.

Students will help keep their bus clean and in good, safe condition (This helps us maintain an orderly and safe bus and is respectful to the next group of riders who will use it).
