A big thank you to SANDY POWERS of INVESTOR’S GROUP who nominated Edward Schreyer School to receive a fully sponsored speaking engagement with Free The Children’s We Generation speaking tour! On December 8^th Keith Macpherson & Renee Lamoureux put on an exciting workshop at École Edward Schreyer School!    Keith, a former Canadian Idol contestant, along with Renee spread their message of compassion and caring through speaking and playing music. Free The Children and Investors Group are excited to launch this exciting initiative, which has a track record of success inspiring young people across Canada to work towards achieving the Millennium Development Goals.  Thanks to the ongoing support of Investors Group, thousands of youth nationwide will be motivated and empowered to become agents of change within their community and around the world. Founded in 1995 by international child rights activist Craig Kielburger, Free The Children is the world's largest network of children helping children through education, with more than one million youth involved in our innovative education and development programs in 45 countries. Keith and Renee had been touring since 2001, when they released their debut album. They have visited countless cities across North America and have played in international showcases in London and Paris. Their music had been played on television commercials, television shows, and their song Good Year off the Revolution album was chosen as Manitoba’s Homecoming 2010 official anthem song alongside Bachman Turner Overdrive’s ‘You Ain’t Seen Nothing Yet’. They have appeared on local TV stations, as well as Canada AM. Their speeches, like their songs, convey a positive message without preaching. They are wonderful role models, and as Keith puts it “When one person decides to live their life in a positive way, it affects the people around them and becomes contagious.”

Congratulations goes out to Trevor Ans

for being selected as a participant in this year’s Forum for Young Canadians.

Trevor will be representing École Edward Schreyer School, as well as the Sunrise School Division from April 18^th to 24^th at this conference being held in Ottawa, Ontario.

The forum looks at the foundation for the study of processes of government in Canada. Trevor will be joining other young Canadians to learn about the inner workings of our government at our nation’s capital. The school is proud that you were chosen for this all expense paid opportunity.

Way To Go Trevor!!

It is that time again, when the school administration needs to start planning and timetabling for courses for next year.

Informational booklets will be handed out to students starting on February 16^th. 

Each student will also participate in a presentation by grade or by homeroom before Friday, March 5^th. Parents may attend an info night on Thursday, February 25^th at 7:00 p.m. which will deal mainly with the transition from Grade 8 to the Senior Years credit and semester system. 

The people to contact if you have any questions are listed in the front of the course selection booklet. Deadlines for returning forms are solid as we will offer courses based on student choices. Any issues with regards to space in a particular course will be solved in part by the date that the student’s form is returned. 

Registration packages will be given out on Monday, March 8^th. The final deadline for returning course selection forms is Thursday, March 18^th. Please take the time to go over these important decisions with your child.

As outlined in the News From The Office section, the students, staff, and community have truly stepped up and responded to the need for funds to help the earthquake shaken country of Haiti.

Some highlights of our efforts include:

·          Lauren Litke obtaining 172

I ? Haiti T-shirts which were sold for $20 per T-shirt. She also created a video for all students showing facts and photos from Haiti.

·          Brett Hanson, Ryan Wilgosh and

Kody Kennedy organizing a school-wide Hike For Haiti. Students and community members were invited to a free Pancake Breakfast following the event.

·          Mrs. Paseska’s class organizing a pledge drive to raise money through World Vision. Monies raised will be doubled by this organization.

·          Paper Hearts were sold by various students throughout the week for a cost of $2 per heart. The hearts were signed and displayed in the front hall.

·          Heart cookies were sold throughout the week for $2 per cookie. Various students with the help of Mrs. Blocker baked and decorated the cookies.

The initial tallies of the funds raised for Haiti are around the $6200 mark, with monies from the businesses in the community to be collected and counted on February 1^st.

Look for final amounts and many more thanks in the March newsletter and the local papers.

Rachel Scott was the first person killed in the Columbine High School tragedy on April 20, 1999. She left behind an amazing legacy and a simple challenge to anyone who will accept it – treat others with kindness and compassion and you may just change the world you live in.

Come join us on March 11, 2010 as we enjoy another presentation of Rachel’s Challenge at the Brokenhead River Recreational Complex. There will be two presentations during the school day and an evening presentation at 7:00 p.m. for anyone interested in attending.

Go Barons!

Our Varsity Girls Basketball Team

will be hosting their 13th Annual

Lady Barons Basketball Tournament

on the weekend of January 8 & 9, 2010.  Come on out and support our team.

In association with the Beausejour Chamber of Commerce, a proposal was introduced to have two students in grades 11 or 12 become members at large of the organization.

The selected students would represent youth of tomorrow in observations, discussions and input for the betterment of our community from the perspective of youth.

Students would be required to attend regular scheduled Chamber of Commerce meetings.

Meetings scheduled during the school day would not be counted as an absence from regular class time. Students would need to be prepared to give input on attractions to our area, governmental issues of our community, wants and needs of youth, as well as current and future planning for our community.

The successful candidates will become active members with the Chamber of Commerce in September 2010 through to June 2011.

Grade 11 students chosen could continue in this role for the grade 12 school year as well. Students could earn a Volunteer Credit for being a member at large, in meeting the objectives, and for the time involved in this initiative. 

Any interested students should see

Mr. Bauschke before the end of January to

put their name forward for this opportunity.

We are pleased to report that we have raised $687.77 for the Pet Rescue No Kill Shelter

in Winnipeg. Thank you to all the helpers, bakers, buyers and donators. Our highest donation was for $40.00, so Mme. Ramsay matched this amount with a $40.00 donation of her own. Thank you to everyone for your support of this fundraiser !!

A Pancake Breakfast  for SY students will be held on Friday, December 18^th. The cost will be a tin for the bin or a $1.00 donation to the Christmas Cheer Board or local food bank. 

All students and staff who come to the Pancake breakfast will have the opportunity to vote on a winner for the Charlie Brown Christmas Tree Contest by placing a ticket in a gift wrapped voting box located under each participating group?s tree.

During the pancake breakfast you will also be able to have your picture taken with Santa ? at a cost of $1.00. All proceeds to be donated to the Christmas Cheer Board or local food bank.

 

 

 

A Charlie Brown Christmas Tree is a small, straggly, ugly tree that just needs a little attention.

 

We would like to encourage individuals or groups of friends to sign up to do this? However we would also encourage teams or groups to sign up and decorate their tree to highlight their group. For example, the Varsity volleyball team might use volleyball ornaments with pictures of the team on each ornament. The Human Rights group might highlight an issue such as poverty. The Envirothon team might use pieces of garbage as decorations to highlight issues surrounding municipal landfill.

A science class might use test tubes and beakers as decorations.

To take part: Groups or individuals can pick up a sign up sheet from the bulletin board at the top of the stairs and submit the form to Mrs. Spence or Ms. Kaptein no later than

Wednesday, December 9^th. 

 

Groups will be able to pick up their tree as early as Friday, December 11^th or may choose to decorate it at lunch hour and leave it at school. The decorated trees must be completed by Thursday, December 17^th and will be displayed in the auditorium until the end of the week. Judging will occur on Friday, December 18^th.

?         December 10^th is the annual Winter Concert for all ESS music students at the BRRC. It is important that all students attend as they play an important part in each ensemble. The Senior Orchestra will also be having its annual bake sale. Senior Orchestra students are reminded to bring their baking to the hall the morning of the concert.

 

?         The Senior Orchestra will be putting on a Christmas Sing-A-Long for the Association for Community Living on December 15^th in the school auditorium at 2:30 p.m.

 

 

The middle years PE mark will look different than parents and students are accustomed to.  Instead of seeing a percentage mark, you will find only a comment.  The comment will reflect whether the student has met the learning outcomes for the term or not.  If you have specific questions regarding your child's performance please do not hesitate to contact any of the PE staff; Mr. Algera, Mr. Dueck or Mr. McKenty.

?cole Edward Schreyer School is asking for YOUR help!  We are organizing a fundraiser for The North End Women?s Centre. They are having a Christmas party for those in need and donations will be handed out as presents.

From November 23 to 26, Cara Otto and McKennah Buss travelled to Camp Cedarwood to develop their artistic talents. The topic was ?Explorations in Space?, where they worked on storytelling, improvisation, movement, writing, and visual art projects.  

Thank you to all the students who took part in the Royal Canadian Legion literary and poster contests.  There was some excellent work turned in.  Results and awards will be given out at our award ceremonies later this year.

Kailyn Greenlay and Angelika Damert represented ESS at the Provincial Youth Citizenship Conference in Winnipeg on November 20.  The day had the duo working with other students from around Manitoba to discuss global issues and create programs to create positive change.  Thank you for representing ESS in such a positive manner.

Thank you to Mrs. Kaptein for organizing the ?Artist in the School? program that took place November 23 to27.  Approximately 100 students had the opportunity to work with a screen writer for an hour each day for a week.  The students got to ?let loose? as they wrote and performed skits; learned about body movements; and acted like various people, object, and animals.   Their creativity and lightheartedness was a pleasure to see; their laughter infectious. 

The Winnipeg Steel Orchestra visited ESS on November 24.  ESS student Alex Zueff worked with the instructors to lead a workshop and play songs for many of the middle years classes.  The band has provided Winnipeg with musical and cultural entertainment since 1972.  We are hoping to get them back next year on a grander scale.

STA president Randy Cielen has visited ESS and worked with each of our middle years classes for an hour.  He is an educator with a passion for children and science.  During the last week of October, he presented fun and excited science experiments.  He has started a Science Club that will be taking place every second Friday for students interested in science.  A big THANK YOU to Randy!

Community Consultations regarding French Immersion Programs have concluded.  

The decision will be open camera. All are welcome and encouraged to attend. Any questions, please contact your trustee. Meeting date will be Jan. 21, 2010.  pmagnan@sunrisesd.ca

GOOD LUCK TO

THE VARSITY CHEER SQUAD!

 

Good luck to the Varsity Cheer Squad who will be competing in their first major competition of the year on Sunday, December 13^th. The team made up of 35 grade 9-12 girls has been practicing since try-outs last spring. Their demanding 2 ? minute routine includes dance, stunts, jumps and gymnastics which demands strength, flexibility and endurance. Parents, friends, teachers and students are encouraged to come out and cheer on the team at the competition held at the Investor?s Group Centre at the University of Manitoba!

 

Mrs. Spence?s Grade 12 World Issues class recently visited the Siloam Mission in Winnipeg for a tour of the homeless shelter and to volunteer their time for a few hours to help those who are less fortunate. Students helped sort clothes, serve food, and clean tables at the mission which currently provides a clean safe place to sleep for up to 110 people a night. 

As part of their unit on poverty students are now taking an active role to help stop poverty in their community. Projects include organizing a clothing drive for a shelter for abused women, developing a plan for a food cooperative, documenting poverty in a video production and volunteering their time at the local food bank. As Christmas quickly approaches we are reminded that it is better to give than receive.

 

A reminder to parents that when a Middle Years student is away, a phone call or note must be provided prior to the absence. Parents will be contacted if a student?s whereabouts are not known for that day.

 For Senior Years students, a note must be provided and signed by all teachers immediately upon the student?s return.

On Saturday, December 5, 2009, the CPR Holiday Train will once again be stopping in Whitemouth at approximately 7:45 p.m. in support of the Canadian hunger relief.

In its eleventh year, the CPR Holiday Train will be sure to thrill the crowd with its many lights, talented musicians, and festive atmosphere of sharing and giving. Musical entertainment aboard this year?s train includes returning Canadian Blues Rocker, Shaun Verrault of Wide Mouth Mason. Also bringing their energy and full voiced harmonies to the Holiday Train stage for the first time is the alternative rock band, the Odds. Over the past six years, the train?s stop in Whitemouth has resulted in the collection of approximately 8480 pounds of non-perishable food items and donations totaling $10 168.25.

The Whitemouth and District Lions Club is asking you to please bring a cash donation or a non-perishable food donation to this event. Items collected will be distributed to local area food banks. This is an exciting event for our region!   Dress warmly, bring your whole family, support hunger relief and enjoy the show!!

Advanced Early Admission

University of Manitoba December 1, 2009

Take Our Kids to Work

November 4th for all grade nines.

Those who do not participate are expected to be at school.

How To Fund Post-Secondary 

Parent Information meeting at 7:30 on November 19^th. Combine Parent Teacher Conferences with some helpful tips. 

 

Why Take French?

I have been in the French Immersion program since Kindergarten.  It has been a very interesting experience.  There have been some ups and downs, but that is part of the experience.  If I had not had these 13 years of French language, my life would have been much different.  French is awesome!

It has been difficult to learn French, but I was fortunate to have a Dad fluent in French, he studied in Quebec.  My Dad would speak to me at home in French.  When I started in school, it was familiar, not foreign.

 

The benefit of better employment opportunities is huge!  Having a diploma in French, on your resume really stands out to the employer. Having a second language provides the ability to work anywhere in Canada.  There are many employment opportunities in government, in travel, in communication that require the second language of French.

I have benefited by being able to travel abroad and speak French, interacting in France, conversing with regular citizens.  Knowing another language solves and avoids many problems.  I have enjoyed my years in the Immersion program.  My ambition is to expand my knowledge by attending a French language university.

French has changed my life, and I recommend all parents to consider placing their children in the French Immersion program available in our area.  Merci.

UPCOMING CPF EVENTS & DATES?

            French Movie night will Feature ?Cat in the Hat? and is planned for Friday, November 13 starting at 4:00pm.  The movie will start at 4:15pm until 6:00pm.  We will offer popcorn and have pizza after the show.  Children should be picked up by 7:00pm.  There will be a $2 charge per child to cover cost of dinner.  Parents are welcome to stay. This show will be held in room 193 at ?BEYS.  (Mme. Bangert?s Room)  Children are requested to come in any appropriate ?Freaky Friday? costume they choose!

This evening, we will also reveal our fundraising raffle, featuring watercolour artist Barry Barnett?s painting Cougar.

Our next CPF meeting will be

November 3, 2009 @ 7:00pm

in the staff room in ?BEYS.

 

A reminder to parents that when a

Middle Years student is away, a phone call by 8:30 in the morning or note must be provided prior to the absence.

As parents will be contacted if a student?s whereabouts are not known for that day, it is also important to keep the office informed of any changes to home, work and/or alternate telephone numbers where you may be reached during the school day.

 For Senior Years students, a note must be provided and signed by all teachers immediately upon the student?s return. 

Senior Years students without notes will be removed from courses.

Automated phone calls will go home even if the absence has been excused with a note.

 

We are in a desperate need of finding a parent or parents interested in coaching our Junior Varsity Girls Basketball team.  The season begins with practises in late November and continues until early March.  If you have an interest in taking on this very important role so that we can offer a team to the girls in grade 9 and 10 then please contact Ray Algera at the school.

The 2009 Eastern Manitoba Career Symposium is being held on October 21, 2009 at the Brokenhead River Recreational Complex in Beausejour. This is the only event of its kind in Eastern Manitoba. It?s more than a career fair. It?s a very comprehensive symposium hosting over 50 industries, employers, post-secondary educational institutions, and trade associations. More information about the Career Symposium can be found at www.eastmancareers.com. Career development doesn?t just happen in the classroom. Research shows that parents have the most influence on their children?s decisions about career choices and post-secondary education. That is why we strongly encourage parental involvement.

We cordially invite you to attend the 2009 Eastern Manitoba Career Symposium. Hours have been set to make it convenient for parents either during the day from 9:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. or in the evening from 5:00 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. We look forward to your participation in this important event that will help your child learn and make informed decisions about their future career opportunities and post-secondary educational options.
