Administrator’s Greeting
January has just flown by! We relished a respite from bitterly cold temperatures, dealt with a couple of water issues, and families from 4
classes had a very enjoyable evening sharing a meal of soup and buns. Thank you for sending water with your children during the Boiled
Water Advisory. It certainly helped make the supply we brought in go further.
A huge thank you to the teachers and students of room 115, 213, 216 and 317, the “Empty Bowls” soup and art evening was a great success. It was a lovely evening of eating, sharing with friends and lively conversation, a great way to warm up! And so many delicious
soups! Thank you to all the family members who donated soup, thank you also to Food Fair and Kub Bakery for donating buns, and Tec
Voc High School for supplementing our soups. Thank you to the many staff members who volunteered their time, made soup and helped
throughout the project in so many ways. All funds raised will be donated to Winnipeg Harvest. This UNESCO initiative was truly a way
for learning to be meaningful and connected to real life for our students.
Our primary students very much enjoyed their field trip to WSO. Thank you to Ms. Janzen for all her organization that certainly helped
everything run so smoothly. Thank you also to PAC for funding the trip.
Registration for families new to Laura Secord at all grade levels will begin on March 2, 2015. Registrations will be taken between 8:30
a.m. – 4:00 p.m. As always, we will register students who live within our catchment areas. Students who reside beyond our catchment
areas will be placed on a wait list. All students presently enrolled do not need to re-register. Those families will be receiving an intention
form for their children for the 2015 – 2016 school year. We will continue to adhere to the provincial directive by trying to ensure that Gr.
N – 3 classes have twenty students or less. There will be an Information Evening on Wednesday, February 25th for parents of students
who are new to Nursery, Kindergarten or Grade one.
Report cards will be sent home on March 10, however if parents have concerns or questions prior to that, they should not hesitate to contact their child’s teacher. Teachers do meet with parents during February if they feel the need to share information before the report goes
home in March. Parent-Teacher-Student (Tri-conferences) will be held on the evening of March 12th and during the day on March
13th.
The school is closed on February 2nd for staff Professional Development and February 16th as we all celebrate Louis Riel Day. French
week will take place that week from February 17th – 20th. Teachers are planning classroom-based activities to increase awareness of our
wonderful French culture and “joie de vivre”. We will also be having our annual school-wide sing-along of traditional French songs and
several French Immersion classes will be attending the Festival du Voyageur. Students are welcome to dress as a voyageur with a
“chemise carée”, (plaid shirt), “ceinture flêché” (sash) and tuque rouge.
As always, if you have any concerns please feel free to contact us at the school.

School Report
• Email list is successfully up and running. All communication will be going through Jeannie Remillard now, including PAC Communication. Readopted
the courier system with the hopes that the bugs have been worked out. Will still send paper copy for remainder of school year with the goal of going
nearly paperless in September 2015.
• One new staff member Carly Lewis filling in for Crystal’s mat leave in room 201 and Mme Trish will be away for a couple of months on sick leave –
school working diligently to have a permanent French substitute in place by next week.
• Sent home a safety letter regarding a stranger approaching a student today walking to school. Police are considering sending out a media alert.
•
•
•
Problems with brown water in the pipes today so restricted use of water fountains and provided classrooms with bottled water. Will continue to monitor.
Babysitting workshop has been confirmed for April 24th. School will send out letter to grade 6 students to fill up to 30 openings.
More details in school report.
Teacher: Natalie Marchand (Grade 2 French Immersion)
• Big thank you for all the efforts that went into the Book Room. The children love it, the teachers love it! It has made a HUGE difference. Thank you
Kyla Stewart and Sandy McCullough for all their efforts.
• Very excited about booking a presentation by Fort Whyte on Wetland Ecovan. Presentation has had great reviews. This will be presented to primary
French students - Gr. 1, 2 and 3’s.
Fun Food: Laura Hilland (Fun Food Coordinator)
• Fun Food days have now been scheduled for last Friday of each month to accommodate the teacher’s request as it fits better with the school calendar
going forward.
Movie Night: Kara Nacci
Still working on a date with administration.
•
FundScrip: Kyla Stewart
•
Presented another way to raise funds for school called FundScrip. Online, cost effective (free) and simple anonymous way to raise additional funds.
FundScrip is an established, Canada-wide fundraising program in which your supporters pay for their shopping (groceries, gas, home & garden, entertainment, restaurants, and much more) with gift cards bought from FundScrip; thereby automatically generating contributions to our cause. There are
over 170 participating retailers.
•
Will be setting up a campaign, and it will be available to those who are interested in using it.
Sage Garden:
• Tentative date of May 13, the week before the long weekend.
Treasure’s Report: Garett Surcon
• No update from Treasury for January with Garett’s absence.
New Business
• Update to Spanish/bilingual program. School Board has found enough numbers to support Gr 1-6, but still need support for Grade 7. Rhona will investigate and perhaps incorporate in the next newsletter.
• Parents with children graduating from grade 6 are asking about possibility of school bus for Grade 7 immersion. School Board requests making a
presentation before the board. Asking if anyone would be interested in going with Monica Weist to the next meeting February 23 @ 7pm. Suggest posting in the newsletter looking for those that may be interested in the bus service. Rhona will look into.
• New Gym: Architects are working very hard with sub-contractors to have the design completed by the end of the week. Working with the Landscape
Architects, they will be incorporating our wish list into the schematic design for the playground. We will probably know by March what will/will not be
covered by the budget for the playground. If we want to subsidize and want to have all wish list items incorporated during the construction phase, we
will likely have to have funds raised by September 2015. Still need to apply for grants. Raised question regarding the second elevator planned at the
back of the school. Voiced concern that a lift should not even be a consideration for “universal accessibiltity”. This needs to be strongly emphasized
with multiple people in the community and school that will benefit from this. Accessibility to have priority over bells and whistles.
• They are trying to put out for Tender by September 2015. Believe it will be 2017 for the playground at the earliest.
Next meeting is scheduled for Tuesday, February 20, 2015 at 7 p.m. in the Teacher’s lounge.

that dogs are not permitted on The Winnipeg School
Division property at any time. It is understandable that
family walks may include the family dog and perhaps
a stop at the play structure and we greatly appreciate
that families usually keep their dogs very close and
under complete control. Thank you.
We have ordered additional signage for the field. In
order to keep the field safe and clean for the children
in our community we respectfully ask that dog owners
clean up after their dogs and
perhaps carry an extra bag that
could be offered to a dog owner
who may have forgotten their bag.

Mme Côté’s Students from Room 118 Talk About Children’s Rights
We think everyone needs to know that all kids everywhere have Rights. Rights are important things that
everyone needs. Rights are like rules that everyone should be able to have. These rules, or guidelines, help meet
everyone’s basic human needs to have a happy and healthy life.
Billie, Lucas and Emma believe that their right to have a family is extremely important because without
family or friends they would not be here right now. With no family, you might be at an orphanage. Eyobiel feels
that without family, he could not grow up. The right to be loved is a strong belief for Jericho, Theo and Fiona.
Fiona states, “If I wasn’t loved, I wouldn’t get anything.” Rosa agrees with Fiona, “If I wasn’t cared for; I would
not have any of my other rights met.” Maddie feels that part of her life would be missing without the love from
her baby brother, Hudson.
The right to an education means that Aleksé and Jackson can learn new words and math. They can also
make cool projects like a volcano for Science Fair. Clover and Jericho recognize that going to school means they
can get a job and earn money when they are grown up. This will allow them to buy things they need like food,
water, clothing and shelter.
Emily believes that everyone has the right to be themselves. Otherwise, everyone would be the same.
Sheldon also agrees that all cultures are to be respected, if not, things would be unfair and end up a mess.
Raven, Billie and Amira feel that children have the right to play, explore and have freedom. This way,
they can learn how to climb and swim. Madeleine believes in the right to an imagination and Billie adds as well
as your own ideas.
Eli and Averi believe that children have the right to have access to the medicines they need. Otherwise,
we would be sick. Grayson believes that food, water and shelter allows you to survive. Without socks, you
wouldn’t be comfortable. Max and Mason agree. The fresh air that nature produces is important to Julian.
Therefore, we conclude that these Children’s Rights are most important to us. We feel that all children
around the world should be able to have these important rights.

UNESCO Empty Bowls Supper
Rooms 115, 213, 216 and 317 have wrapped up their
UNESCO project with an Empty Bowls Soup Supper.
They have also collected money for Winnipeg Harvest, covering a piggy bank with polka dots representing donations. The students learned many important
lessons during this time, and they wish to thank you
for your support in this important project.
Traffic Concern
Please help us to keep all of our students safe! DO
NOT drop off students from your vehicle in front of
the school, on Lenore St. or Ruby St. at any time!
People who do this are creating traffic congestion
and are putting student safety at risk! Please park
your car and walk your students to the school.
Ensure that children walk to the corners where the
patrols can assist them to cross the street safely.
Many thanks for your co-operation.

Reading improves a child’s vocabulary, leads to
more highly-developed language skills and improves the child's ability to write well. This is because children learn new words as they read but also because they unconsciously absorb information
as they read about things like how to structure sentences and how to use words and language effectively.
Stay tuned for more reasons why reading is important…
