Our Grade 5 students are learning the importance of learning to “Say Something” to help prevent bullying behavior. The grade 5’s are spreading that message to the younger students, and we are thankful for the RCMP’s support. We take bullying behavior very seriously. Bullying can be done in various ways; physical, social, verbal and cyber. We encourage you to discuss this with your children and the importance of speaking out about bullying. RES students have math “homework” that you will see coming home this week. Each student has a game to play that is grade appropriate. We appreciate your support in working on this with your child at home between April 1—April 24th. There are prizes to be won. Thanks to the SCC for sponsoring this educational event! SCC elections are coming up soon if you are interested in becoming a member of the SCC there are nomination forms available at the school office. A big thank you to the Ladies Night Out Committee and the financial support they have provided so RES could purchase new risers for performances. Have a wonderful Easter break and enjoy the Spring Weather. Book Fair Thank you to Carrie McDonald, Charlie Fraser, Joan Claassen and all the families who supported our fair! We raised over $2750 and we received $1400 in free books for our school! Way to go Rosthern! This year the grade 5 boys basketball team had a very successful season. The boys seemed to improve as each week passed by. Mr. Reinhardt and Miss Kenaschuk were so proud of how respectful and hard working their team was this year.
