Together Everyone Achieves More
“Giving Back” and “Charity” were the focal
points of our TEAM building assembly in
December. Our principal Mr. Ryan indicated
that the voluntary giving of time, effort or
kindness helps create a safe, caring school
environment and becomes part of our school’s
best practices. Mr. & Mrs. Brian & Gladys Jesse
representing Charity Farms were invited to our
assembly.
Charity Farms is the major
community fundraising venture in support of
our school. Mr. Ryan reminded students that
our new kitchen, stage, tables & chairs were
purchased for us by Charity Farms.
Have you considered APPRENTICESHIP?
Grades 6-12 students had many good questions for
Paul
Blankestijn
of
the
Saskatchewan
Apprenticeship and Trade Certification Commission
during his presentation at Pangman School on Dec.
16. Students learned that apprenticeship means you
spend 85% of the time learning a trade on-the-job
while earning a wage, and 15% learning in school.
Paul indicated that most employers prefer to hire
employees who have Grade 12.
Mr. & Mrs. Jesse were presented with tokens of
appreciation from students and staff.
During the assembly, two of our students
received a heartwarming surprise from the
Grade 11 and 12 class who showed that they
understand the true meaning of Christmas.
Their thoughtful acts of kindness can be seen
on the video they prepared which is on the
school website.
RCMP officers Todd McIntosh & Harpreet Singh
visited our school Dec. 16 and spoke to students
about pedestrian safety in winter. They reminded
us to continue to look both ways when crossing
the street especially important when we are all
bundled up with scarves and hoods.
Dan Hardern from our school division also spoke to
our high school students on Dec. 16. He outlined
the opportunities our students have to explore
career options in the trades while earning Grade 12
credits. Details on SECPSD website.
Our Gr. 6-8 students returned from WE Day
in Saskatoon Nov. 6 inspired to help
impoverished children who have never had
a chance to go to school. Through the
Brick by Brick campaign they are raising
funds to help build a school.
