Tec. Beeton Elementary School

Just a reminder that all parents with students who will be entering kindergarten in September 2012 are invited to come bring our future students for an orientation night. Students will get to experience some centres such as cut and paste, playdough, books and magnetic boards. The night will end with a ride on a school bus! Welcome to Kindergarten Night runs on Thursday, May 17 from 5-6:30 pm. Hope to see you there!

Track and Field for students in grades 4 to 8 will be on Wednesday, May 23 with the rain date being May 25. Students can pre-order pizza for $2/slice.  Order forms are due on Friday, May 18. Other snack items and drinks will be on sale on Track and Field Day. Students are reminded to dress for the weather, bring plenty of water, sunscreen and a hat.

May 15th was “Denim Day.” Students and staff wore denim and donated money to raise funds for cancer research. To boost the donations, Madame Woolfries decided to cut her hair to donate it to a child who needs a wig due to cancer and to let two students who brought in donations do the cutting! The draw was made and Claudia and Justin were the winners! Olivia in grade 2 cut her hair the night before and stood up with Madame for moral support. It takes a lot of courage and empathy to do this! We are proud to be Tec Beeton Stingers!

On Thursday, May 24, Tec Beeton will be having it’s annual Math/Fitness Night. Come out and enjoy some math games, smartboard activities, a book fair, food, fun and fitness! Come bid on baskets of goodies put together by student donations! The night will end with a friendly but competitive volleyball game between the students and the staff which will start around 7 pm.   Math/Fitness Night runs from 5-8 pm. See you there!

The students in Mr. McPherson’s grade 7 class have been visiting the same residents each month and have developed their relationships with their senior partners. In the picture below, we see Matt G. displaying caring and empathy for his partner who no longer has adequate small motor skills to paint. THIS is what caring looks like! Tec. Beeton Stingers have GREAT character!
