Tec. Beeton Elementary School

Today we had a “Volunteer Tea” in the library to say “thank you” to all of our volunteers who help out in the office with our safe arrival program, in the library, reading to students, with the snack program, with school council and with so much more! Your assistance is greatly appreciated.

The grade 3 students presented some pioneer dances to parents, grandparents and other relatives. Pioneer life is part of the Social Studies curriculum. Thank you goes out to Mrs. Linda Morris, a retired teacher, who taught the students to dance.

Thank you goes out to School Council who received a grant to have an Internet safety presentation brought into the school for students in grades 5 to 8. As well, an evening program was available for parents. Students, parents and staff learned that whatever is put out on the internet is permanent and public, even if we think we have deleted something. The golden rule for internet etiquette is, “If you would not do it in real life, do not do it online.”

“Mom, the weirdest thing happened at recess today! Everyone started dancing!” If your dinner conversation went something like this, watch the video and see for yourself how the grade 7 classes did a “flash mob” at recess today! We are using a new program for videos so please read the following directions: Click “CLOSE TO PLAY” to get rid of the box and to get the video to play! DO NOT CLICK “PLAY VIDEO.” IT ONLY LEADS YOU TO ANOTHER WEBSITE AND YOU WILL NOT SEE THE VIDEO. CLICK “CLOSE TO PLAY” TO START THE VIDEO. “PLAY VIDEO” IS JUST TO CONFUSE YOU!

Students in grades 3 to 8 were introduced to some curling skills, right here in our own gym! Some pictures are “MIA” (missing in action) right now for a few classes, so stay tuned for updates!

The students and staff pitched in today to help clean up our community, as part of our community, culture and caring goal and as an extension of our Earth Day recognition here at Tec. Beeton. Way to go Stingers!

Students in grades 3-6  participated in a free  50 minute drama workshop this week, where they learned to sing and dance to “The Candy Man”  from the musical theatre production of “Willy Wonka and The Chocolate Factory.” The workshops were led by Sarah-Jane O’Donnell, formerally the producer of the children’s theatre program at the Gibson Centre and presently the owner of the new Beeton local theatre group, Crazy Pants Theatre. Dances were led by choreographer Debbie Collins. It was a great way to introduce a lot of students to musical theatre! We have quite a few potential “Triple Threats” right here at Tec Beeton!
