SNS travelled to Pense Elementary School on November
27th to attend a concert by Bob King. Several students
were called up on stage to help sing some of our
favourites, such as Sandwiches, Popcorn, Two Wrongs
Don’t Make a Right and The Rhyming Dictionary.
We enjoyed the Mackenzie Art Gallery exhibit 60 Years: How We
Filled the Vault. The students had a wonderful time during the
Mackenzie Art Gallery workshops. On the first day, he explained how
different people see different things in art. On the second day, the
students had the opportunity to make a collage and recreate art
using props and a painting as a backdrop. Thank you to those that
came out in the evening to see the exhibition.
Our Christmas concert production
was a great success!
Special

thanks to everyone who came to
be part of our audience.

Facility Use
As you may be aware, our new caretaker, Mrs. Kezama works part-time (5:30 AM to 9:30 AM). As she does not
reside in the community and is unavailable in the evenings to open and close the school for special events, accessing
the facility outside of instructional hours will not always be possible. However, community groups with appropriate
and adequate insurance in place may apply to use Stewart Nicks School for various functions, providing all criteria
are met. Please contact the school at least 2 weeks prior to your event. All requests must be approved by Prairie
Valley School Division #208 in advance. Appropriate and adequate insurance MUST be in place.
