April 2023 Newsletter
It is great to see that spring is finally here! It seems like school year has gone so quickly! Report cards are soon here, and we are starting to plan for next school year, already.
It doesn’t seem that spring will ever arrive, but the snow is still managing to melt slowly. With this comes the ice and puddles on our playground. We continue to remind students to stay off the ice and out of the water, but it seems so hard for them to resist. There was a serious injury in another school when a student slipped on the ice and cracked their head. Although it may seem that we are being overprotective of our students in asking them to stay off the ice. This may be so, but we really want to make sure no one gets hurt as much as the injured student did. We just want to keep our students safe and free from injury.
This brings up the topic of the water. Falling into water and getting wet is not an injury and safety concern. It is more of a comfort concern. I would encourage parents to send a pair of socks and an extra pair of pants that can stay at school for the next few weeks. In case your student falls and gets wet, they can change right away.
Students have completed the provincial survey, “Tell Them for Me”. I think it is a very valuable tool to help us make our school better. We do not often ask for student feedback, so this is a great opportunity to voice concerns or worries or to let us know that you are happy with our school. If you have concerns or worries, I will also encourage you to please come in and see us at the school. Some things we can easily change, and sometimes all it takes is an explanation.
I hope everyone has an enjoyable April and looks forward to May as much as all of us at Wagner.

Everyone’s heard of a haunted house. Probably even a haunted theater. But a haunted play?
Could it be haunted by the spirit of a man who recently died at the theatre? No... it’s not possible! At least, that’s what theater director Bonnie Bagwell tries to convince the other members of the troupe as writer Colin Chambers hints at the trail of horror that has cursed his script, Ax of Murder. Unfortunately, curiosity gets the best of the actors and, despite Colin’s adamant warnings, they open the script and start reading the play. It soon becomes apparent the play is mirroring their theater and even the specific actors. ’The play changes with each performance,’ Colin intones, though he’s not taken seriously. But when a police sergeant shows up on cue stating he was called in on a murder, people begin to wonder. Wonder turns to fear when someone IS murdered onstage! And it seems as if no one could have done it. No body, that is, but perhaps a ghost. Beware the twists and turns of this play. You never know what will happen next when you see Ax of Murder.
