Volume 107, Issue 8 Waldeck School April March 29, 2018 ... Newslett… · Justin Dueck Carson...

Dear Parents & Guardians,

We would like to thank you for the opportunity to meet with you and your child at the

Student Led Conferences held in March. Our attendance was 98.2% on those two

nights. The remaining 1.8% rescheduled meetings at a later date. That’s remarkable!

We continually strive for a close working relationship with our students and parents,

so thank you for staying connected with us throughout the school year.

If at anytime you have any questions about your child’s progress, do not hesitate to

contact the teacher directly.

Sincerely,

Mr. H. Martinez, Principal

Mosaic:

Over the last number of weeks, the grade 7's & 8s

have been working hard on their Cultural

Mosaic project. This project requires them to

choose a country of interest, research the country

in depth, and create a presentation that includes

a variety of information; some say the best part is

the food!

Please come and join us on April 18th at Waldeck

School from 6:30-8:00 pm to

enjoy the culture of many

Nations and the hard work of

the grade 7 and 8 students!

Genius Hour:

Genius Hour is a 4 month project that allows our

grade 9s student to research in depth on any

topic of their choosing. Mr. Martinez, Ms. Koczka,

and Ms. Schellenberg act as facilitators, with

ownership of learning put on the grade 9s. This

project contains only three guidelines. It must be

researched, it must have a driving question, and it

must be shared or presented.

With this in mind, the grade 9s will

be presenting Genius Hour on April

18th from 6:30-8:00 at Waldeck

School in the gym. Please come

out and support these young

innovators as they share new

knowledge of their own interests!

Everyone is welcome!

** Please note that the date was moved to April

18th, due to scheduling conflicts. We apologize

for any inconvenience this may cause.

Mosiac and Genius Hour

This was a fairly quiet month for Me-to-We. We

did our weekly canteens but we were not able

to coordinate a day to cook at The Center.

The big excitement was the trip to the We

Schools Conference in Saskatoon on March

28. Here's what some of our members had to

say about it :

...We got to interact with people (our group,

other schools and the leaders).

...It was awesome because we were in the

movie theatre and we played games and did

activities.

...The activities about water security were fun!

...We got to start a project together.

...We got the opportunity to talk about the pro-

ject we did and talk to other kids.

Badminton tryouts are finished and now we have a

lineup that we can be proud of. We have many return-

ing veterans who are ready to hone their skills even

further, and we have an excellent core of players com-

ing up as rookies. Here is the following teams and

their positions.

Boys Singles:

Justin Dueck

Zack Painchaud

Girls Doubles:

Tori Hansen and

Aradyn Norman

Mixed Doubles:

We are hoping to connect with other schools and play

some matches prior to the Sub Sectionals tournament

on Saturday, April 28th at Herbert School. Unfortu-

nately we will only be able to bring approximately 8

students to that specific tournament so are looking

for other teams we can play.

We are looking forward to an enjoyable season where

our goal is to become better players whether we are

rookies or veterans!

Parents, thank you as well for your willingness to drive

after school allowing your children to take part in

school sports. You are a large part of the reason we

have run a successful badminton program over the

years.

Thank you! Marv Parschauer

Hey all Waldeck School Parents, grand-

parents, friends of students and community

members!

Our school gym is in desperate need of a new

sound system (anybody else have a hard time

hearing clearly, things like, the Christmas

concert?! ♀️)

We are having a PIG ROAST AND

DESSERT AUCTION on Tuesday, May

29th at 5:30 to raise money to (hopefully!)

provide a new one!

Aside from the dessert auction, we are look-

ing for items to be live auctioned off and

items for a silent auction table.

Before we head out to businesses, we wanted

to reach, first, those who have a direct con-

nection with the school.

If you would like to donate something, feel

free to let any of the SCC members know!

(Rachelle Patzer, Honey Martens, Loni Chu-

baty, Jill Martens, Kelly Petras, Crystal

Blades, or

Naomi Greenwood).

Items can be just about anything! Jerseys,

summer swim passes, meat, quilts, wood-

work, homemade anything...seriously, you

name it! If you work for, own and operate or

have a

personal connection to a business, maybe

they’d like to donate something as well?

This year we’ve been focusing on community

and we are so grateful for this rural communi-

ty that we live in!

Looking forward to an awesome evening

together!
