Weekly Review Jan. 11th - 15th

Most everyone survived the first week back after Christmas vacation.  It was great to hear all of the student's stories about time spent with family and friends.

Student of the Month ~

This month's focus is Fairness - 

     "Fair isn't everyone getting the same thing.  
Fair is everyone getting what they need in order to be successful."

This theme ties in nicely with habit # 5 ~ Seek First to Understand, Then to be Understood.  By trying to understand other people's perspectives or where they are coming from can help you to understand why things may not always be equal.

Boys' Basketball Tournament ~

Mr. Porter has received the schedule for the Boys' Basketball Tournament taking place on Friday, Jan. 15th and Saturday, Jan. 16th.  The tournament will take place at Ecole Dansereau Meadows School in Beaumont.  

The Friday's schedule is as follows:

                4:10 p.m. against Willow Park School

                4:50 p.m. against Warburg School

                6:10 p.m. against Linsford Park School

Saturday games for the boys could begin at 11:40.  The Saturday game schedule will depend on how they place on Friday.  

Skating Equipment ~

We are in search of any CSA helmets.  If you know of anyone that may have helmets that are no longer of use to their family and they would be willing to donate them to the school, we will gladly accept them.  It would be great to have a few extra helmets at the school.

Inclement Weather ~

Being that it is January, the snow has started to fly and the temperatures have dropped, I just wanted to remind families that any bus cancellations will posted on the Black Gold website.  An alert will also be sent out to you prior to 7:00 a.m. by both voice mail and text message.  The school would remain open.
