Dear Parents,
Patrols
– Ms. Sawchuk
Thank you to all the parents who have taken special care
and attention to our new patrol crossing.
It is a very busy pattern and these young students have taken very good
care in learning the new procedures.
They are conscious of the needs to balance both traffic flow and
pedestrian crossings. We thank you for
your patience and we manage this very busy roadway. We would also like to remind all parents,
guardians, and students that regardless of age, that we request you cross with
the school patrol at this busy intersection for the safety of all students.
Western
Canada High School Registration – D. Siakaluk

March 2 a counselor from Western Canada came to assist Grade 9 students with
registration for High School. All information was provided to the students that

Mr. Derek Siakaluk, Assistant Principal.
Jump
Rope for Heart - M. Lewis
On behalf of
the Heart and Stroke foundation, as well as Mme Lewis’ homeroom class, I would
like to thank everyone who participated in our Jump Rope for Heart Fundraiser.
This year,
about 75 grade one to six students at Elboya participated in our fundraising
activities. We are currently waiting to receive the grand total from the Heart
and Stroke Foundation! The students worked hard to collect money from friends,
family members and the community, while they raised awareness of the importance
of keeping a healthy heart lifestyle.
Yesterday,
Thursday, March 5th, the grade one to six students participated in a special
Physical Education class dedicated to JUMP activities where they practiced
their jump rope skills and represented their sponsors.
I would again
like to thank everyone who was involved in this campaign, especially the
students, parents and teachers who helped to support this great cause in an
effort to raise funds and awareness for healthy heart activities!

Math League Sixth grade math contest –
Ms. Sawchuk
We had 24 eager grade
6 students participate in the Math League Sixth Grade math contest on February
24. This was a timed math contest with 30 questions. They started with
an easier level of difficulty moving towards quite challenging! We would
like to congratulate our top 5 scorers: Tara, Maia, Esa, Thomas, and
Ruby. Way to go! All students participating should also be
commended on attempting this challenge. I hope to see as many
participants again next year.
