Badminton Has Begun!
Social Justice League Coin Drive
SPREAD THE NET AGAINST MALARIA
Each year, malaria kills an estimated 438,000 people, and it remains the leading cause of death of children under 5 in Africa.
Since 2007, Spread the Net has helped protect the lives of almost 32 million people by contributing to the delivery of over 15.3 million malaria-preventing bed nets to families in Africa.
Our Social Justice League has organized a COIN DRIVE for the SPREAD THE NET campaign. From April 10th to April 21st students can bring coins to fill up their bottles. Teams can sabotage other teams by putting bills in their bottles - the bills get "subtracted" from the coin total. The team that collects the most money will win a Team Ice Cream Party!
Week of Kindness - April 10th to 13th
Tuesday, April 11th - We will be selling our "Stand Up for Kindness" pink t-shirts at school in the lobby for $5.00.
Wednesday, April 12th - Pink T-shirt Day. All staff and students are encouraged to wear pink shirts that day. During a special assembly, Gerry Shingoose, a residential school survivor, will be sharing her experiences with our school. We look forward to her presentation.
The Door that's Not Locked: Safety and the Internet
The web offers incredible possibilities as long as you are aware of the risks. By understanding what the online world offers, you can empower your child—with skills to help him/her engage with technology in a safe and responsible way. As your child gets older, you will notice changes in his/her behavior and interests. While it’s exciting to see your child seek more independence, there are new personal and online safety concerns that you should be aware of as well.
A good source of information regarding what you should talk to your child about, and what you can do as a parent, is the website, thedoorthatsnotlocked.ca. This information was provided to SMS from the Canadian Centre for Child Protection, a registered charity dedicated to the personal safety of all children.
In its efforts to continue supporting parents and students, Manitoba Education and Advanced Learning has developed a new website that offers homework support to middle school years students.
The My Learning at Home website, http://www.manitoba.ca/mylearningathome/, provides links to over 200 videos and animations that help to explain challenging concepts in the areas of Mathematics and Science. Selected specifically for Grades 5 to 8 students, each video and animation has been annotated and organized by grade level to correspond with the curriculum.
Please take the time to visit this website with your child. We hope that My Learning at Home proves to be a useful tool for middle years students as they work to succeed in school!
