HEMMINGFORD HERALD
NEWSLETTER OF HEMMINGFORD ELEMENTARY SCHOOL
Message from the Principal April was another busy month at Hemmingford Elementary School. Our students participated
in our Community Connections program for six weeks starting at the end of March and finishing
in the last week of April. A profound thank you to all of our volunteers!! (Pictures on page three)
Hemmingford Elementary School participated in the NFSB Music Fest 2017 (photo on the next
page). We were well represented by our choir led by Mrs. Mary Aboud. A video or the performance
is available on the NFSB Youtube page.
This month, we are once again participating in Energy Cubes, part of the Grand defi Pierre La-
voie (GDPL). We have sent home our
booklets, please track your progress and
write it in your child’s booklet. Last year,
one of our staff, Louise Trahan, participat-
ed in the GDPL and, through using the
money raised and other grants, we were
able to purchase 6 bike desks that are
spread-out through our classes. (More
info on page 2)
Lastly, the staff and students surprised
me by decorating my door for Principal’s
Day! My signature ties were on full dis-
play and contained wonderful messages
on the back! (Photo on the left)

Students in grade 6 went out on stage for Community Connections — One of the stops was Parc Safari
I want to thank all my little & not so little munchkins… for all the special posters, notes & flowers to help me celebrate Administrative Professionals Day (photos on page 2). You all made me feel very special and proud to be your secretary and your Dr. Jiggy Do.
Remember to wear rubber boots and bring a change of clothes must as the weather promises to be very wet for the next week or so.
Don’t forget to thank Mom for all the little & big things she does for you on “Mother’s Day”.

En participant au de fi des cubes e nergie, on se permet de partager les me mes valeurs que celle du Grand De fi Pierre Lavoie. Encourager les jeunes a adopter un mode de vie actif pendant toute l’anne e scolaire ain-si que de bonnes habitudes alimentaires qu’ils garderont ensuite dans leur vie adulte est une pratique a adopter pour le bien-e tre de nos e le ves et de notre entourage.
Nous encourageons nos jeunes a faire de l’exercice en coope ration avec l’e quipe-e cole et la communaute . De ce fait, je vous souhaite la bienve-nue tous vendredi, le 26 mai dans le matin pour e tre en mouvement a
l’e cole primaire d’Hemmingford. Aussi, nous vous invitons a apporter des sugges-tions d’activite s que vous aimeriez re aliser.
Du 1er au 29 mai 2017 1 cube énergie = 15 minutes d’activités physique
Chaque 15 minutes d’activite physique continue correspond a 1 cube e nergie. Lorsque l’e le ve bouge avec un ou plusieurs membres de sa famille imme diate, cela lui permet d’augmenter son total de 1 cube par personne participante.
Bouger ensemble fait toute la diffe rence!

ing Mrs. Ellerton and the Wom-

speaking on May 17. Parents
are welcome to come and
watch the presentations start-

Student coalition is a group of students from each N.F.S.B
school who get together at Howard S. Billings in Chateau-
guay.
Student coalition is all about problem solving and meeting
new people. This year our school worked on the lunch
hour because it was really loud. Each school has to have a
goal that they want to accomplish.
At the second to last meeting, we worked on an iMovie. In
our iMovie, we had our goals and that we had achieved
and our future goals for our school. You also get an awe-
some free sweater and pizza at the last meeting!
