Invitation to speak about transportation safety to and from school

10/25/2019

0 Comments

 
A Tennyson parent wanted to share the following request for input from parents. The message was posted to a family bicycle group.

In September we saw the Safe Schools motion pass at the City Council. At the School Board, the Safe Schools motion was referred to the November 6th (5pm) VSB Facilities and Planning Committee meeting.

This means that the VSB and School Trustees get to hear from community members like you about transportation safety to/from schools. Please consider speaking up or encouraging a young person to come and speak to the Board. If you’re interested in doing so, please email the following District staff to sign up.

The 2019 Halloween Howl was spooktacular!

10/19/2019

0 Comments

 
Tennyson families and friends were treated to an amazing night at this year's Halloween Howl. What was probably the last Howl in the old school building didn't disappoint.

A huge congratulations and thank you to Ravena, Mandy and Jacqueline who planned and coordinated the Howl again this year, the Prince of Wales PAC Leadership class who helped set up and run the rooms, and all the parents who volunteered for making the night so memorable. The 2019 Halloween Howl was fantastic!

There was so much freaky fun to be had! The kids had a blast in the gym playing games and danced like fiends at the Dead Disco. They pitted their skills at the Haunted Hockey and Spooky Soccer and slowed things down with spooky stories in the library. The Batty Bingo, Fortune Tellers, Junky Jello Eating and Cake Walk had line-ups out the door and the Graveyard was so grotesquely gory the visitors shrieked with fear!

It's not a Tennyson event without good food. Thank you to the Grad 2020 parents who served delicious pizza, salad and treats in the cafeteria.

The pumpkin carving contest was amazing and the costume contest judges had another tough go this year trying to pick winners from the amazing and creative costumes on display. We will post costume pictures as soon as they come in. Thank you Randall and Meralon for taking the pictures; such special mementos of the night. And last but not least, the winners of the game card prize draws will be announced on Monday.

And please help yourself to a pair that may suit your own child as well! What footwear is not needed at Tennyson is donated to a sister school in East Vancouver. 

There are also 2 special SHOE DRIVES in the Winter and Spring sponsored by the Groupe Globale. Please watch for the Winter Shoe drive the week of November 4th -where NEW footwear is also welcome -just in time for a special Christmas donation!

(Please Note: The purple bin is not for Lost and Found items so please check it periodically in case a stray shoe lands here:).

Thank you for the fantastic cross-country season

10/19/2019

We've enjoyed a tremendous cross-country season this year filled with sunny meets (except the last), lots of place ribbons, and an amazing display of sportsmanship, enthusiasm and Tennyson Tiger Spirit!

The students trained hard three times a week to build stamina and hone technique and their efforts paid off. The Tennyson Tigers won lots of ribbons at the three mini-meets and at the Final District Meet at Trout Lake.

The cross-country team would not be possible without our coaches, Ryan and Andy, our sponsor teachers Mme McNicol, Mme Renee, Mme Taillefer, Mme Sarah and M Rafael and all the parents who helped at training and the meets, brought the Friday snacks, and cheered on our athletes as they raced. A big thank you to you all!

Here are the results I have from the District final. I definitely don't have them all so please send others and/or photos to blog@lordtennyson.ca and check back next week for the final list.

  • Gr 7 girls : Delphine - 7, Lily - 9, Rebecca - 14, Ally - 15
  • Gr 7 boys: Chris - 11, Zacharias - 20
  • Gr 6 boys: Alex - 8, Graeme - 20
  • Gr 5 girls: Eliza - 9
  • Gr 4 boys: Nathaniel - 9, Callum - 19, Evan - 20
  • Gr 4 girls: Molly - 15, Matilda - 18, Avalon - 21, Ellie - 24

A big hill and a run through the woods made this week’s cross-country course meet the most challenging yet, but that didn't stop the Tennyson Tigers, who took their races in their stride and brought home lots of ribbons.
