Initially we had planned on ending our SCC Shrek Reading Initiative at the end of April but it has been extremely popular with our stu-dents with over 2000 entries submitted so far. As a result we’ve de-cided to extend it until May 18. After the long weekend we will count up our entries and select the 4 classes who will attend the Shrek Mu-sical at the Mae Wilson Theater on June 9.

We held our annual School Community Council elections on April 24. We came away from it with another excellent contingent of par-ents who will continue to do great work for our school. We thank those parents for coming forward.

We have another great show coming up on May 15th, 16th and 17th. Our spring drama production will be called The Magical Land of Oz. Our teachers and students have working hard the last several weeks rehearsing and learning their lines. We will take a silver donation at the door.

On May 18 our School Community Council is putting on once again its annual bike rodeo for students in grades 1-3. More details will follow for those classes involved.

On June 2, for National Heart Garden Day, we will have what has become our Heart Garden ceremony as we continue to acknowledge the impact of residential schools and also to supplement our Treaty education outcomes. We’ve had an Indigenous Drumming group practicing for some time now and they will perform an honor song at the ceremony.

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 property and take care to leave it un-damaged).

Students should follow directions from their bus driver. (This demonstrates 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 evacuation. This conduct also helps us to minimize inconven-ience 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 maintain a neat and orderly envi-ronment and keeps us safe).

Students will not carry animals, glass objects, nuisance items, hazardous materials, or weapons onto the bus (Maintains a safe environment 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 evacuation).

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

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

Students will be totally silent at railroad crossings (The driver is required 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 in-creases safety by minimizing 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).
