Report cards have been sent!Report cards are sent out via email. For our Grade 7/8 students/families, there was a glitch in the first grade calculation, so please disregard the first email with a report. The second should be accurate. Please let the office know if you need a paper copy, and this will be sent home with your child after spring break. We also had an issue with Kindergarten report cards. They will either be sent home with your student today or mailed out, depending on what class your student is in. We apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused. Please stay tuned to the online sign up for Parent-Teacher Conferences when we return after spring break. Parent-Teacher conferences are set for Thursday, April 21st (4-8 pm) and Friday, April 22nd (9-Noon). book fair - april 21st & 22nd (Parent-Teacher)The week was full of spirit!Thanks to our school's Student Leadership Group, our school was alive with spirit this week!

Way to Go, MAV’s! family Math night - sign up by april 5th!Last year, our divisional Math Coach, Ms. Gay Sul, organized Family Math Night for all the students in the division. It was such a hit that she is offering it again...FREE OF CHARGE! We encourage all families of students from K-8 take advantage of the evening. You will receive all the materials necessary to play the games you'll be learning during the evening. The deadline for parents to register is Tuesday, April 5 by the end of the day. That is the second day we're back from Spring Break. This deadline will give Ms. Sul the time required to receive the materials and then drop off at the school in time. Please register by calling the school and speaking with Mrs. Huska or send her an email indicating your interest ([email protected]) Grade 1/2 work to catch that leprechaun!Last week the Grade 1/2 classes were visited by a mischievous visitor. The students decided to try and see if they could meet the mysterious trickster so they created some Leprechaun traps (no Leprechauns were hurt in the process). Unfortunately he got away, but he did leave some of his treasure behind for their great efforts. Mr. Moore's Grade 5/6 class created some tongue twisters for an ELA assignment. Tongue twisters are a fun way to work on one or two sounds at a time to get the pronunciation just right. The following alliterations were the result of this assignment! Way to Go, MAV's! 5/6 Alliterative Tongue-Twisters A cult of killer kangaroos kidnapped a koala. (Emah, Landon) Nate knew the new knight. (Kashlynn, Charley) King Nebuchadnezzar never knew Nebuchadnezzar’s nephew Norman. (Bo, Taylor) Gumbo grabs gum from his gummy gape. (Rocky, Tyson) I got three free flowers from Fly. (Ashton, Ayden) Sungwon throws slaves into the sun if they think about a way through the sanctuary. They scream scared. (Sungwon) Chucky the charcoal chicken changed to a chubby charcoal chimp. (Damien, Kameron) Betty bunny bought big buns. (Connor, Joshua) Big blue blood blooms bad. (Micah) Queen Quin had quite a quick, quiet croak. (Bailey, Shylo) Tricky Treg tried trying Tri-Chi-Chi. (Kesler, Keenan) movie night is back!Last Thursday afternoon our Student Leadership group held the first Movie Night in over two years… and it was well attended by over 100 K-8 students! The canteen was stocked with fresh popcorn, cans of pop, juice boxes, bags of chips and candy bags to satisfy salty and sweet cravings. Students stretched out on the floor or sat in seats to comfortably enjoy the film. Thank you to the Student Leadership team for a well-organized event, to Mrs. Zimmerman for allowing us the use of the band room, and to the students who attended and made it a memorable experience. We’ll see you at the next Movie Night! going beyond the textbook - Part IIIn Mrs. Clayton's Canadian History class, they don't just sit around reading from a textbook! The put their learning into action! To wrap up our study of the First Peoples and their traditions and cultures, we celebrated by making bannock. Bannock is a form of unleavened bread made from flour, lard/fat, salt, water, and sometimes baking powder (other variations use milk). Some students in class talked about how recipes were handed down from their grandparents and the ingredients they use. It was enlightening and wonderful to watch everyone working together! It is believed that Scottish fur traders introduced bannock to Indigenous groups. However, it is now understood that some form of bannock was made and consumed by Indigenous communities well before European colonization. The introduction of flour and modern cooking tools transformed bannock into what we know and eat today: a quick and simple carbohydrate-rich food. The History students ended class by enjoying their bannock with butter, jam and a cup of tea. A big thank you to Mrs. Leflar and her class for trading rooms, allowing us to use the kitchens! grade 7/8 Stevenson - meet the scientist!The 7/8S science class recently did their "Meet the Scientist" presentations. Each student adopted the persona of a scientist - past or present - and talked about their life, work, and accomplishments to the class. Some of the notable scientists featured included: Albert Einstein, Chieng Sin Wu, Varisa Pongrakhananon, Ada Lovelace, Alan Turing, Neil De Grasse Tyson, and more! We learned all about research in the fields of cosmology, physics, quantum physics, black holes, relativity, cancer research, and space travel. Did you know: Bill Nye was a stand-up Comedian? Albert Einstein failed high school math? Stephen Hawking lived several decades longer than the doctors told him he would? Galileo lived for years under house arrest because he wouldn't say the world was flat? Here are a few photos of some of our presenters... town bus ends today!With the change of the season comes the end of our Town Bus. We thank the division's Transportation Department and our bus drivers for providing our students with this service.
