Without a doubt that our world is changing rapidly, and the jobs we thought our kids would have may not even exist when they grow up. Nowadays, young adults find themselves taking on positions like social media manager, digital marketing specialist, an influencer or YouTuber. These jobs were born as a result of the changing world. The tools our kids need for the future requires innovative education and RIse Venture School is at the forefront of this evolution.
 
We teach students 8-14 years old, applicable life skills through Entrepreneurship. Taught in the form of camps and workshops, students will learn:

• How to turn their ideas into a venture
• The value of earning and spending money
• Become a forward thinking leader
• How to leverage the internet to build an online business
• Create an actionable business plan
• How to clearly articulate their ideas to a panel of friendly judges

Prepare your child with the skills needed to build their future today. Join us at Spring Break in one of our Entrepreneurship Camps to jumpstart their future!
 
If you think this our program can add value to your community, please post this on the PAC site and forward to families you feel it will benefit. Our program ties together all the teachings from the new BC ADST curriculum.

We are looking to find our awesome Irish nanny, Emily, a new home. She doesn’t have a vehicle but she drives and is available to work full time starting April 20. She’s been an absolute dream for the past year and a half with our very energetic three year old and our artsy daughter who’s currently in grade 1 at Tennyson. Super reliable, flexible, patient and an all around gem. We can’t recommend her highly enough. Email her at emilyotoole@gmail.com if you think she might be a fit for you, or Amy at amyjdavison@hotmail.com if you have any questions for us.

Calling all actors, stage hands and the curious!

This Friday, February 28 at lunchtime, we will  hold the first meeting of the Tennyson Drama club.  Place TBA.

All grades are welcome, and no one will have to act if they don’t feel comfortable.  We will start by playing a few drama games, and starting to discuss our ideas and plans for future skits,short plays, and maybe even a long-term plan of a musical.
 
Any questions may be directed to Jacqueline Crummey by phone or text: 778.788.2585

In case you missed the email from the VSB about their vision for the future of spaces.

Dear families,

As you may know, the Province is implementing a seismic program that ensures Vancouver School Board facilities are safe for students and staff. While this work is underway, we have an opportunity to continue to build modern classrooms that meet the needs of school communities and Vancouverites now and in the years to come.

We need your input to help us define a vision for the future of our spaces.

Our primary objective is to inspire student success by providing innovative, caring and responsive learning environments. As we look toward the future, it is important to understand what modern learning spaces mean to you.

VSB is hosting two phases of engagement – one online and one through in-person events. Our online engagement is open between February 19, 2020, and will be open until March 11, 2020. Please go to http://build2learn.ethelo.net/ to provide your feedback.

We will ask for your input on what is most important in a modern learning environment, how school sites can best support the surrounding community, and ways we might use VSB buildings to generate income to build modern classrooms. We will use this information when we make decisions about our schools.

Your participation in the engagement will only take about as long as it takes to get a cup of coffee, and will help us define a vision for the educational use of Vancouver school sites for years to come.

Watch for more information about in-person engagement opportunities.

Thank you for your participation!

All Tennyson parents are welcome and encouraged to attend our monthly PAC meetings! At PAC meetings we discuss school issues, policies  and procedures, fundraising and special events.

Come to this month's  PAC meeting on Monday, February 24 at 7pm in the Library. Free childcare is provided.

The big topic for discussion is the Future of the Quebec Trip.

The Quebec trip involves a tremendous amount of commitment from everyone in our community. Some enjoy this and find the trip to be rewarding. Others would like to consider alternatives for our community. If your children are younger and are years away from Quebec, your contribution on this issue is still very valuable as fundraising and planning for the trip begin years prior to grade 7. Please come out to hear about it and contribute to this conversation!

If you can't make it to the meeting, and have some key points you'd like to share,  send them by email to   website@lordtennyson.ca  and we will read them out at the meeting.
