Thank you to all of the pink-wearers on Wednesday, Feb 25 (Pink Shirt Day).  And thanks to Mme Christine's Div 1 class  for organizing the two assemblies.
Check out the photos of the fun! And here is a link to the Giants Game Pink Dance that Divs 4 & 5 participated in last week.

Div 4 & 5 involved in Pink Day dance at the Giants game

2/22/2015

0 Comments

 
On Wednesday, Feb 18 the Vancouver Giants hosted the Moose Jaw Warriors in a Western Hockey League game but in the middle of the second period, 5,500 kids donning pink shirts dance in a flash mob for the upcoming Anti-Bullying Day (Feb 25). Divisions 4 & 5 from Lord Tennyson were lucky enough to participate.
The full video should be available online on Pink Shirt Day (Feb 25).

Lost & Found worth $4240!

2/21/2015

0 Comments

 
Okay folks, according to my calculations, the replacement value of the current items  in the Lost & Found is $4240!
Yes,  $2000 in sweaters, hoodies, and jackets; $300 in lunch kits; $200 in water bottles and thermoses, $240 in shoes and boots; $1000 in shirts; and another $500 in miscellaneous items. 
Too bad this isn't the street value (I would have sold it all and we would be $4240 closer to a  replacement playground)!

With  over 300 items filling the space (and only 420 Tennyson students), odds are you will find something that belongs to your family in the piles.

We have a volunteer to organize it once a week (thank you Judy!) but she cannot do it with the amount of stuff that is there right now.

GET YOURSELF IN THERE TO HAVE A LOOK (SEND YOUR KIDS TOO BUT WE ALL KNOW THAT IS NOT ENOUGH).
We cannot give storage space to this for long ... please come have a look.

THE LOST & FOUND IS IN THE ALCOVE ACROSS FROM RM 105 (WEST END OF THE MAIN FLOOR).

Off to Quebec ...

2/12/2015

0 Comments

 
Many  Grade 7 students  left for Quebec yesterday. They are accompanied by Mme Lorieau, Mme Teckert, and M Brian. During this fantastic cultural exchange, students are paired with a Quebec student and will stay with their family  for a week. This allows our Tennyson students to have an opportunity to be fully immersed in French language and culture. The students and teachers spend the days together participating in a variety of amazing activities organized by the host school in Quebec city. What a trip!

Thank you to everyone who participated in the Zero Waste  January Electronics Round Up!
We kept THREE very large car loads of electronics from the land fill.
Many parents and staff asked the Zero Waste Committee where all of these electronics will go once we return them to the recycling depot.   You can read more here:  http://www.return-it.ca/electronics/recycling/productrecycling/ 
Where do the electronics go?
