WELCOME & INTRODUCTIONS OF PARENT COUNCIL
TMC ADMIN REPORT
-So far the
Student Advisory Council has been a great success. The council is comprised of 26
students from grades 4-9. The 7-9 students have expressed how impressed they
are at the ideas that the grade 4-6 students have. The kids feel that news
travels faster through the school as the students from council take information
back to their peers. The kids are celebrating the idea that they are taking
action on their plans. They are taking to council what their peers feel are
problems in the school and looking at what is the next step. Student Advisory
Council will grow in popularity once other kids see and hear what it’s about.
-In March
the Evergreen Theater will be performing The Legend of Four for grade 4-6
students. It will be somewhat interactive as 4 students from each grade will
get to be participants.
-The school
will be doing a 3 Act Mini Drama Presentation of Peter Pan, the students will
audition for parts. There will be a posted schedule for practices once they
have been decided.
-The
students stuffed 1492 socks with toiletry items and necessities for the Drop In
Centre. Thank you to all who donated to this great cause.
