Student Council hosted our first Spirit Day – Dress Like a Teacher Day!
Who’s that new big kid at the School?? The duty teachers better keep an eye on him!
Student Council is hosting Sunset’s first Spirit Day tomorrow – Dress Like A Teacher Day! The teachers will also be dressing like students.
Those students that come to school dressed like a teacher will be given a chance to lead the class in an activity, i.e. French warm-up (if they want to).
Pointsettia Order forms were sent out last Friday. There was a problem with those forms, so a new updated correct order form was sent out today (Monday, Oct. 19). If your order form looks like a photocopy, it is the incorrect form. The right form has the pointsettia on the cover in colour. If you have any questions or concerns, please contact the office.

There were long lines at the Sunset Student Vote Polling Station yesterday and today!
Elections Canada has developed an excellent classroom resource called Student Vote. There are a variety of lessons teaching students about elections, levels of government, human and civil rights, etc. One very important aspect of the program is to have the students participate in the Student Vote. The vote is conducted in the same way as adults vote in Canada. Elections Canada shipped voting boxes, privacy booths/screens, ballots and instructions. As of Thursday, more than 400,000 students had cast ballots across Canada. Sunset had intermediate students vote Thursday & Friday. I set up the room to model a real polling station, manned by various students with the roles that returning officers would do.
Check out the photos on the page above titled Student Vote. The results of Sunset’s polls were sent to Elections Canada after school and the results of the student polls will also be revealed Monday night after the polls close.
Election Day – Monday Oct. 19! As the students have learned, voting is the most important part of living in a democracy. We all need to cast a ballot and have a say in determining the people that will make up our government and represent us in parliament.
Is that Mr. Mollinga?????
