Thank-you to all the students that participated in the
Elementary Curling League.
On February 11th they participated in a curling bonspiel. The teams played 3 or 4 games
through out the day and ended the day with awards and a potluck supper. This year I noticed that
many games had lots of rocks in play which shows that the teams have really worked hard all
season to get their weight just right and really understand the curl of the ice. More rocks in play
means harder shots and lots of strategy. It is exciting to watch the students develop their skills
over the season and really come together as team. I would like to wish the curlers moving on to
the junior league all the best; I will be watching for you at the curling rink. For those students that
are interested in curling next year remember we always need volunteer coaches so start bugging
your parents, grandparents, aunts, uncles or family friends!! A special thanks to all the coaches
for giving up your time and mentoring our students - Jacob Leoppky, Mr. Strandquist, Mr. & Mrs.
Neufeld.
Yours truly, Richell Schwartz

Proposed 2012-2013 Calendar
The Board of School District 59 is asking for input regarding the Local Proposed Calendar for
2012/2013. This input will be used as part of the Board's decision-making process in the development of
a Proposed Local Calendar.
The timeline for this process is as follows:
• January 25 to March 6 - Input from staff members, SPCs, PACs, DPAC, employee groups, etc.
This information will be gathered through school principals and location managers.
• March 7 - Board reviews feedback from all groups.
• March 7 - The Board adopts the 2012/2013 Local Calendar.
In order to help people with calendar decisions and proposals, The Ministry of Education's Standard
Calendar for 2012/2013 has been included. In addition, three alternate calendars are being circulated for
consultation.
Visit the school district web site to view all 4 proposed calendars. Please take the time to fill out the
feedback survey. If you have any other concerns or comments see Mr. Harman and he will take your
information forward to the Board.

SMILE
A smile is cheer from you to me,
the cost is nothing it’s given for
free.
They console the weary and
gladden the sad.
And can make someone happy
when they are mad.
and it’s the only thing you keep
when you give it away.
At the last PAC meeting, the
parents there asked about
changing companies that
provide the individual, class,
and school photos. If you
think the school should
explore using another
company, please let the
office know. It would be
helpful to know what you
would like to see in a
package. (ie: choice of
photos, ability to touch up,
etc.). You can view two
companies that service the
area at the following
