Haines-Student Led Conferences: Thursday and Friday

Conferences are coming up on Thursday and Friday of this week. These interviews will not follow the sit down private format that was followed last time. These conferences are student-led and there will be other families in the classroom at the same time. This is an opportunity for your child to show you his or her work. There will be a list for some guidance as to important work to check out. Miss Haines will be available to answer brief question regarding student work and upcoming events.

Abstract Art

The Grade 4 classes have completed a collaborative abstract art project. Please have a look at our bulletin board next time you are visiting the school. Our board is located across from the main gym.

Pi Day!

We are celebrating Pi day (March 14) early tomorrow in extended homeroom by hopefully eating pie!  If you are able to send one in with your child that would be great!

Pink Shirt Day!

Tomorrow is Pink Shirt Day! Please dress in pink or red in honour of Anti-Bullying/Kindness Month at Elboya.

Here is a snippet of the Globe & Mail article that inspired CKNW Orphans’ Fund Pink Shirt Day:

David Shepherd, Travis Price and their teenage friends organized a high-school protest to wear pink in sympathy with a Grade 9 boy who was being bullied [for wearing a pink shirt]…[They] took a stand against bullying when they protested against the harassment of a new Grade 9 student by distributing pink T-shirts to all the boys in their school. ‘I learned that two people can come up with an idea, run with it, and it can do wonders,’ says Mr. Price, 17, who organized the pink protest. ‘Finally, someone stood up for a weaker kid.’ So Mr. Shepherd and some other headed off to a discount store and bought 50 pink tank tops. They sent out message to schoolmates that night, and the next morning they hauled the shirts to school in a plastic bag. As they stood in the foyer handing out the shirts, the bullied boy walked in. His face spoke volumes. ‘It looked like a huge weight was lifted off his shoulders,’ Mr. Price recalled. The bullies were never heard from again.”

Cirque Nova

Grade four was invited to watch a Cirque Nova performance this afternoon. Ask your child about the performance!
