Celebrating Earth Day at our assembly.
 
 
We have collected 4000 drink pouches.....

 
and 8432 Tassimo discs to be recycled!

 
Our Grade 3 and 4 recyclers shared the ABCs of caring for our Earth.  They also demonstrated proper recycling and how they sort through our recycling bins.  We can all do our part to take care of our Earth!





 
Using the sunlight to do our work! 
 
We were part of the 9th annual Lights Out Canada!  We turned out our lights between 2 and 3 pm in honor of Earth Hour.

Manitoba Schools Science Symposium


written by Zack

On the weekend, I went to the Manitoba Schools Science Symposium.  My project was called the "Hockey Puck Slide Test."  On the first day of the symposium, I made a model airplane and built a car with some of the grade 5s from the middle school.  I also set up my project.  The next day, they judged our projects.  I had 2 judges come to my project.  On the final day, they had an awards ceremony.  I got called up and I got a bronze medal!



Congratulations, Zack!  We are so proud of you!!!

Day of Pink at SSES

 
Day of Pink ~ Say No to Bullying!
On Tuesday, April 8th, SSES held our Day of Pink!  This day is celebrated across the world to encourage kids and schools to take a stand against bullying.  It was created by a boy who was teased for wearing a pink shirt.  Each class shared their beliefs about kindness and respect.
Thank you to Ms. Milne for organizing a very important day for our school!
