School Council Funding Meeting
The All Saints School Council met this past week to allocate funds to some of the initiatives planned for the second half of this school year. Some of the initiatives include our school greening and recycling group, props and costume storage options for our 7&8 drama room, funding for our new community garden and support for our robotics and leadership groups. We thank the council for taking the time to review the applications from our various groups.
Student and Staff Information regarding Opioid use
Fact sheets regarding illicit opioid use were shared with staff, students and sent home for parent review Thursday of last week. This is part of our ongoing effort to share information from Ottawa Public Health, the Ottawa Police Service and our partnership with Rideauwood Addictions Services with our staff, students and parent community. This week, we will be holding grade/panel assemblies to reinforce additional information with students. Our Rideauwood Counsellor and our School Resource Officer are collaborating on presentations that will outline important information, as well as clarifying the roles that each of these individuals play. These professionals will share additional information with our staff following the March Break. If parents have questions, we would encourage you to contact the school
The All Saints production of “Annie”
Congratulations to Ms. Pasini and her large student contingent on the production of “Annie”. The troupe presented to a huge group of elementary students this past Thursday with shows on Friday night and Sunday afternoon. The group did a fantastic job, and the show was complemented by some great singing and a unique set. Multicultural Fair
We appreciate the many students who contributed to our Cultural Fair this past Friday. Students created displays including cultural icons, information, symbols and some great snacks. There was information regarding the Philippines, Ukraine, Great Britain, Ireland, and Poland among other countries. There was a great opportunity for students to reflect on the idea of cultural identity, which was the key to getting a ticket to the many culturally relevant snacks!
French Speech Competition
Congratulations to all our student candidates who delivered an amazing speech at our school's French Speech Competition this past week! Special Congratulations to Erika Hanner, Andrea Avramescu, and Laureene Tynski who placed first in the Junior Immersion and French First language category. As well, congratulations to Zachary Fuller who placed first in the Senior Core French category and to Nico Castro and Monica Glavin who placed first in the Senior Immersion category. Well done!
