Welcome to Mme. Ashton Sanders and Mme. Emilie Perron who will be teaching in the intermediate grades. Welcome to Mme. Christine Robillard who is moving into a new role at Tennyson from the grade 1 teacher to Kindergarten. We were so happy to have been able to offer her a position. We also want to welcome Mme. Safi Arnold, who will be joining us as Art Prep teacher. We will let you know who will be replacing Mme. Lorieau and Mme. Nona in the new school year. We look forward to the 2017-2018 school year with our vibrant and enthusiastic Tennyson team!

Good-bye Mme Nona

Mme Nona has been at Tennyson for 26 years! I know, she barely looks 26 years old ...

She has been a Kindergarten teacher, a music teacher, a reading recovery specialist, the learning resource teacher, the gifted teacher, and has stepped in to cover more classes than anyone! She also started the Peer Reading program at Tennyson. Mme Nona also had her time as a Tennyson parent - her two sons both attended Tennyson for their elementary years.

Words cannot express how much she will be missed and how much she helped Tennyson students.
Good luck on your new adventure Mme Nona! Please stay in touch.

Aurevoir to Mme. Lorieau who is moving on to a new adventure as a mom.

Grade 1's Water Days!

6/27/2017

0 Comments

 
The 3 grade 1 classes came together for an afternoon of water fun today. It was a lovely afternoon but according to Gr 1 student Madison, the water was too cold!

Teachers set up  a variety of water stations behind the school and students spread out towels and acted like they were at the beach. What a fun way to finish off the year!

Kindies Celebrate at First Annual Tiger Tails Presentation

6/26/2017

0 Comments

 
Kindergarten parents  were treated to a very special assembly today, where the Grade 7 students symbolically passed on their  school spirit by presenting  the Kindergartners with tiger tails. 

At the first annual Tiger Tail Presentation , the Kindergartners  were presented with their tiger tails by the Grade 7's. Then the students showed their tiger spirit by belting out the Tennyson song  and  dancing to  the Survivor classic,  Eye of the Tiger.  

 Thank you to  Madame Lorieau and the  Grade 7 students and their teachers for  a lovely celebration and thank you to Mesdames Jenna, Megan, and Janesse for a wonderful first year at Tennyson.

If you’d like to check out all of the photos from this year’s RBC Race for the Kids, including more team photos, be sure to visit the BC Children’s Hospital Foundation’s Facebook and Flickr pages.

Yellow Takes the Cup at Sports Day 2017

6/23/2017

1 Comment

 
We couldn't have asked for nicer weather  for Sports Day 2017! I really think we had the perfect combination of sunshine and slight breeze  to break some school records in the cup-of-water-passing and four corner soccer contests!

The day kicked off with  rousing cheers performed by the Grade 4-7 students.  You can watch highlights here. Then the whole school took part  in a series of fun activities  culminating in the hotly contested tug-o-war on the field.  The competition was tough, the Red team fought hard, but their  two-year winning streak was broken.  

The final standings were:
First place - Team Yellow
Second place - Team Blue
Third place - Team Green
Fourth place - Team Red

Thank you Mme Lorieau, all the Tennyson  staff,  the Grade 7  students and the ex-Tennyson students who  volunteered on the day to help everything run smoothly.  And, we must give a big shout out to Eric Rallison (and his spreadsheet) and all the Grade 5 parents  who manned the grill and served up refreshing freezies and treats.  The awesome barbecue and concession stand added to the carnival atmosphere of the day.

And a HUGE thank you to Tennyson dad Mark Volk from Maple Leaf Foods for donating the all-beef wieners!
