The ROYAL REVIEW Three Hills School Newsletter- April, 2015

LEARNING for LIFE

From the associate principal…

The last few weeks of March have set the tone for a busy April! We must not forget to thank all of the community members and teachers that helped make our Speak Out Forum a huge success! We have had a great deal of positive feedback and are excited to sift through all the suggestions our high school students came up with. We look forward to hosting other such events in the coming years.

We’d like to send a huge thank you to the Medicine Hat High band class that played for

our Three Hills School students. It was greatly appreciated and the THS band looks forward to playing in Calgary this April 16th. It’s always a great opportunity to watch

other bands and to be given the opportunity to play in other Schools. Thanks Mrs. White for all your hours of organization!

Easter Break has been long awaited by the students and staff but especially for a number of our high school students. The Three Hills School Europe trip is scheduled to take place over the break and Mr. Vaughan and a number of other staff and community members have put in countless hours organizing the event. They are taking more people on this trip than ever before and plan on visiting London, Paris and Barcelona! It is a daunting task to organize such an event but in the end it yields life long memories! Many other events are scheduled after the April Easter break including the Jr./Sr. Report cards that are going to be sent out the week we return! The April 17th handing out of report cards will be followed by the Jr. /Sr. Parent teacher interviews on April 23rd. We are excited to have an online sign up system for interviews and will be sending a handout home with the students to help you in this process. The information can also be found in this newsletter. The Three Hills Elementary students would like to thank the people of Three Hills for their support of the Beef Jerky fundraiser. It has been a huge success and we are grateful for the continued support of all our fundraising at THS! Badminton has started up and Badminton players are just getting to their competitions – divisionals and zones - with a chance for senior high athletes to advance to Provincial Championships in early May. We wish to thank the coaches - at the junior high level – Mr. Hoover, Mr. Smithers, Mrs. Yemen and Ms. McEvoy. At the senior high level – Mr. ADAMS and Mr. Adams.

As you can see we accomplished a lot in March and April is not going to be any different! Thanks to the staff and students for all their hard work and we look forward to next month when we get to celebrate the accomplishments of our grade 12 students at Commencement on May 16th!

Dates To Remember

Literacy Tip for the Month of April Pick a regular time to read every day. By doing so, you demonstrate that

reading time is important. Just reading to your child for 20 minutes a day adds

up to more than 1,450 hours of learning, from infancy to the end of Grade Six.

Use it or lose it! Reading is like a muscle, if children don’t exercise it often, they

will not maintain the same level of reading ability as they get older.

Thanks for your help!!!

Wow! We broke another sales record! Our spring Scholastic book fair was our best book fair ever. We had total sales of just over $3500, , which translated into $556.00 worth of new books selected from the book fair, and a credit of $1452.00 to spend on books from Scholastic’s wide variety of catalogues. We were pleased to see many parents come in with their children on Parent Teacher Interview Night. Everyone enjoyed the great selection of books that Scholastic provided. We had six winners of our special draw held at the start of the book fair. Wyatt Kinninburgh, Jack Tetz, Sarah Manning, Nathan Graham, Denay Kinninburgh, and Bella Deck all won $10.00 gift certificates to spend at the book fair. Winners of the family night draw were Ty Folland and Mrs. Frere. Ty and Mrs. Frere both won $25.00 in books. We also had 21 lucky winners in the poster draw. I would like to send a big thank you to my volunteers, My main volunteers were Megan Plant, Sydney Kientz, Taylor Vaughan, Emma Jensen,, Kaley Smyth-Lowen and Kendal Stockwood. Thank you to everyone for your continuing support for our book fairs. Mrs. Connie Anhorn
