Mr. Ogren's Music Class

The Student Council is hosting a Star Wars Dance tomorrow. Only $2 to get in. There will be a concession selling chips and freezies!

May the 4th Be With You!

All forms and fees for Camp Homewood be signed and paid by next Wednesday.

The Camp Homewood walk-a-thon will take place this Wednesday after lunch. The students will be walking their 15 laps around the NISS track. This is weather permitting, if it’s a torrential downpour we will postpone until Thursday or early next. Dress for light showers though.  Students will need good walking shoes and a water bottle.

All the intermediate students at Sunset will be taking part in the Student Vote! Program. It’s sponsored by Elections BC. It’s a program that allows the students to experience what it’s like to vote in a provincial election. We have been discussing the various levels of government in Socials this year.

The students in my class will be running the polling station for the event. They will act as scrutineers, election clerks and election officers.

The homework was to discuss the election and talk about the importance of voting. Unfortunately, there was no All-Candidates meeting at NISS the students could watch. The grade 5’s took part last year for the federal election and it was an excellent learning experience. According to statistics from Elections BC and Canada, students that take part in the Student Vote Program are more likely to be active participants in the actual elections when they reach 18 years of age.

The was a Student Council Dance scheduled for Friday after school, but it has been postponed until most likely next Thursday. This was to allow the grade 7’s to set up their garage sale. 

The Grade 7 class is hosting a garage sale Saturday during Mudbowl. Lots of great deals! 

There’s a Camp Homewood meeting tonight in the library at 6:30 pm. We’ll be discussing permission forms, supply lists, fees and chaperones.
