T.M.S.S June 2018 Newsletter Principal’s Message
As we approach the end of May and
the imminent conclusion of the 2017-18
school year, I wanted to take the
opportunity to thank our community of
Tisdale for their contribution and
commitment to the enhancement of
learning for students at TMSS. First, I would
like to extend a thank-you to all those
people who have graciously devoted their
time as guest speakers in our classrooms.
Such experiences bring real life perspective
and outlook that enriches and brings
curricula to life. Of course nothing brings
real life perspective like experience, and the
businesses of Tisdale who have supported
our Work Experience program have done
just that. Limited in trade expertise, facility,
etc ..., support from our business
community provides our students with
learning experiences that would not
otherwise be possible. Lastly, I wanted to
extend my deepest appreciation to our
School Community Council members. Your
willingness to take on the responsibility that
comes with such positions is admirable unto
itself, but the manner in which you embrace
it goes well beyond expectations. I have
thoroughly enjoyed working with each and
every one of you and look forward to much
of the same in 2018-19.

Shout outs
Grade 6- Abby Mooney deserves a big shout-out this month. She definitely has grit, and
doesn’t let challenges stand in her way. She is continually trying to improve any task that
comes her way. She is developing resilience, and through self-discipline, improving so many
skills in all areas of her learning. She treats all learning activities as very important and is
such a pleasure to be around! Keep workin’ hard, Abby!
Grade 7- Mrs. MacFadden would like to make a shout out to Drayden Adams for the month of May.
Drayden has been working really hard in ELA to use his class time to his advantage. He is coming to
class prepared and has been completing his assignments. Great job Drayden! Keep it up!
Grade 8- The Gr. 8 student of the month is Benson Paguia. Benson is a dedicated student
who tries his hardest and consistently hands in top quality work. He always has a smile on
his face and displays kindness towards his peers daily. He is always polite and respectful to
his teachers, which certainly does not go unnoticed. Way to go Benson - your personality
and determination are admirable!
Grade 9- Dagny Keen is a friendly and outgoing student who always has a smile and warm
hello to greet you. She has a great imagination and works hard to do her best in her classes.
You can usually spot Dagny giving it her all during lunch hour activities in the gym or
outside. Dagny is one that will try her best in all she does and when she doesn't feel like she
did her best she will try again to improve. She enjoys spending time with her family and she
loves country music. Dagny is compassionate, responsible and a pleasure to work with in
class.
Grade 10- Heather Cresswell is this month’s grade ten Student of the Month. Heather is a
very conscientious, diligent worker in class. She asks great questions that shows how
insightful her thinking is. Need to borrow some notes? Heather’s will be organized, neat
and easy to follow. She always works well with any partner she’s assigned and she stays on
task. When she’s not busy doing school work, she’s dancing at the Tisdale Dance Center.
She represents TMSS well both in and out of school.
Grade 11- Parker Fofonoff – Parker is ready to try any new activity and puts forth 100%
effort in every task. He perseveres through challenging performance tasks. He challenges
himself by trying new activities and being persistent with working on his skills. He is always
positive and inclusive of all members in our class. His determination and grit to succeed are
remarkable. Keep up the great work Parker.
Grade 12- This month’s grade 12 shout out goes to Ryan Cresswell. Ryan is a very committed and
reliable young man. He leads by example in his academics, athletics, and as an outstanding member
of our community. TMSS will be losing a great student when Ryan graduates in June. Congratulations
Ryan, you have a bright future ahead of you.
School in the Bush
On Friday, May 4th, TMSS grade seven students had the opportunity to visit the Kinistin Educational
Centre. TMSS and KEC students learned about and experienced a variety of outdoor life skills
together. Some of the stations included plucking a duck, filet, batter and fry a fish, snare fishing,
skinning a rabbit, making rabbit stew, and making bannock. All of these were cooked over an open
fire. Most students were excited to be able to participate hands on, others were content just
standing back to observe. Some memorable moments from the day include: discovering a whole egg
inside one of the ducks, and a baby fish that wasn’t quite digested yet in one of the fish we filleted.
The TMSS students enjoyed making connections and forming new relationships with all the staff and
students from Kinistin. We at TMSS are grateful for all organizers and volunteers who made the day a
success.
WHAT IS BAND CAMP?
A great way to receive excellent musical instruction in a
fun-filled week! The Saskatchewan Band Association
offers comprehensive instruction for woodwind, brass and
percussion students who have one or more years of
playing experience. Band Camps are hosted in Regina,
Saskatoon and Yorkton as week-long day camps. Kenosee
Lake Junior Camp is offered as a week-long full residential
camp at Clearview Camp in beautiful Kenosee Lake
Provincial Park.
What participants experience at SBA Band Camps
SBA Band camps provide an incredible mix of private
lessons, sectional instruction, master classes, theory, ear
and rhythm training along with full band, staff
performances and even some recreational activities to add
some extra fun to the week. Participants experience a
week filled with making new friends, specialized band
instruction and fun that they won't soon forget!
On the first morning of camp participants are assigned to a
band that corresponds to their musical experience and
performance ability. SBA Band Camps focus on improving
performance skills that relate directly to the positive
experiences of playing in a large ensemble. Throughout
the week participant's schedules vary to accommodate the
wide range of activities the camp offers. Of course, to
showcase the hard work of the campers, each camp wraps
up with an exciting public concert.

Emergency Evacuation Drill TMSS will be participating in an Emergency Evacuation Drill on Thursday, May 31 at approximately 2:45pm. Students and staff will be evacuated to the Tisdale Civic Centre where attendance protocols will be reviewed. Once we are satisfied that all students understand how the drill works, we will return to TMSS in time for school dismissal. At the time of the drill, you will receive an emergency drill notification. You will not need to
come to attend to your child. Thank you.
