Welcome to Magnetawan Central School
April 2018
Hello Magnetawan Dragons,
Although we haven't seen too many signs of spring... yet, it sure is nice to see the longer days.
Thank-you to all of the parents who joined us for Parent Council last Monday. It is always great to have parent input and we were able to select dates and plan for upcoming events. We hope you are able to attend our next meeting on April 23rd at 6:15.
Our students and staff were able to enjoy a delicious pancake breakfast from the Cornball Store this morning. Thank-you to Schenkers and the Home and School Association for providing this opportunity to us.
I hope you have a wonderful Easter weekend. Shannon Mahon Principal Magnetawan Central School

Student Council Update
Our Student Council has been trying their best to organize fun and enjoyable events for everyone. Our members consist of Damon Brinkman, Rhiannon Makovickzi as co-presidents. Hannah Hall our vice president. Thomasz Hirth, Dominic Crnkovic and Zack Andrews as the social directors. Amy Crozier and Isabelle Crnkovic as our treasurers. Thomas Langford as or class rep. We are planning for a school wide event in April. The event will be Easter themed and we are thinking it will be a scavanger hunt. More information will be available soon. Lastly, a reminder that we still sell popcorn each Thursday for $2 a bag. We are changing the way we sell it, instead of going to the kids first break to order it, we will be selling it at one spot during second break and the students will come to us. The proceeds will go to school events.

Tim Horton’s Camp
The grade 7's enjoyed their second week at Tim Horton's camp.
Spring was really trying to get started though we still had toques, mitts and sometimes snow pants on. The focus this
week was on motivation, teamwork, responsibility and challenge. Each student received a necklace at the end of the week
with beads to represent the colour focus.
Hannah, Damon and Ethan played Gaga ball, camouflage, archery, stock market, name that tune, and planets. The students
worked hard at building positive relationships and working with others. Hannah enjoyed making new friends and all the great
food. Damon's favourite part was archery and the planet game. Ethan loved archery and was exhausted by bed time. The
students really appreciated the opportunity to meet students from other schools and wish they could go back again. Maybe
when there is no snow on the ground.
Fish Hatchery
The fish hatchery in the grade 6/7/8 classroom has been doing well and the fish are continually
growing. They are well over 2 and a half months old and are now eating. They are doing well and
there isn't many casualties and they very rarely are dying. They are fed once a day and will be
released in about two weeks. - Thomas Langford
The Big Crunch
On Thursday March 1st our whole
school gathered outside to have the
big crunch. Each student got one
apple and on the count of three we all
took a big bite. Dominic took one of
the biggest bites he got half the
apple! All the kids had smiles on their
faces and were giggling, laughing. One
even got the apple stuck but he was
ok. So, in conclusion I think this
year's big crunch was a success as
always. - Xavier Bolduc

Forest of Reading Vote 2018
Hello everyone, it's getting close to Forest of Reading voting time. I hope you and your students have enjoyed all the wonderful books that have been nominated this year. Just a little reminder that in order to qualify for the vote, the students would have had to read 5 books from the same category. For the Blue Spruce Books, students would have had to read (or be read to), all 10 nominated books. This year the vote will be held on Tuesday, April 17th (day 1) . The voting will take place in the library, classes will come to the library at their regular library time and there will be a voting station ready for them to go and cast their votes. The students are then welcome to browse and check out books as usual. We hope to see a lot of votes from Magnetawan Public School this year, so please keep reading these wonderful Forest of Reading Books. I will send out an email reminder the week before the vote. Thank You. Joe-Anne McMillan
Floor Hockey The Floor Hockey Tournament was a very interesting event for the grade
4’s and now we will tell you why. We got on the bus, we had to pick up the
LOL students. As we arrived, not all the schools were there so we had to
wait. When we got in our dressing room we were divided into teams of 8,
then the other schools arrived. There was Evergreen, LOL, Whitestone and
us. When we got out of our dressing room there were 8 nets on each side
so 8 teams could play. There was also snacks that we could buy for $2 or
less. We all met new friends. Neil’s team won first and Sofia’s team came in
second. Also Colby’s team won third. We all had lots of fun.
