Welcome KRS
families to a new year! We are very
excited for new adventures and opportunities to growth and learn together as a
school community.
Our theme
for January is gratitude. Through morning announcements, visual
displays, recognitions and monthly assemblies we are working with our students
to recognize and appreciate the importance of gratitude. You can help at home by sharing stories and acknowledging
times of gratitude.
As part of
our new year we will be planning a Winter Individual Interests (WII) for
February. This will be an opportunity
for students from grades K-8 to choose an activity that may be of interest to
them and work with students of all ages.
This will be a 4 week program that will take place the same day each
week. Interests may include art, music,
writing, sports, crafts, Indigenous cultural experiences……the list is soon to
come.
Our K-8 daily
recess clubs will resume next week giving students the opportunity to select
different activities. We will also have
some fun activities planned for our Winter Carnival week which is the week of
February 25th. As always, a
lot going on and we love it!
Our middle
level is accepting donations of broken or unwanted electronics for a middle
level building club.
Middle
level students will be participating in an ArtSmart project in January. Artist
and teacher, Marc Landry, will be teaching students about the writing and
art design of graphic novels, and how to tell stories through graphic
art. Students will have an opportunity to create their own graphic
novel storyboard.
Parents
who wish to have their child registered in a French Immersion Program are asked
to complete the electronic registration form (located on the ASD-W web site:
www.asd-w.nbed.nb.ca) (available January 15, 2019). The registration site will
remain open for all registrations beyond February 28, 2019.
