I need to tell Dianne at the Home Show as soon as possible, so do not delay!

The main topic for Ldsp 12 this week will be: Report Cards out in one week - what it means for YOU! Yearbook people should attend as well.

There will be a guest speaker at the Ldsp meeting on Tuesday, April 10th. Janice Wharrie will be here to present information about a program sponsored by the YELLOWHEAD ROTARY; it is an opportunity for students to explore possible careers in ALL facets of the forest industry, from manual labourers at the mills, to heavy duty machine operators, to computer programmers, to chemists and scientists, to front office management and even media relations. This program has a "field trip" component in May - a couple of days. 

As always, interactions with groups such as the Rotary Clubs can be VERY beneficial for students in many ways - from simple connections that may lead to summer jobs, to broader openings for scholarships and other activities. As well, for the 11s, it could mean valuable connections that can be approached for help in grade 12 with other projects you may have. Since it is BOTH Day 1 (regular grade 12 meeting day) and Tuesday (regular Gr11 meeting day), we will make this lunch hour appointment with Mrs. Wharrie MANDATORY for all Leadership students to attend - even IF you have a double spare and usually miss my class because you go home for lunch. Attendance will be taken.

Have a nice day.

Mr. B

A reminder for those students who are looking for an opportunity to gain hours, that there is the following opportunity to work with UNBC and the RCMP as they run a project with some of the less fortunate kids in our town. This description is from Mrs. Smith at CHSS:

Basically over 200 kids divided into smaller groups and going around in stations (at UNBC).  We will be taking the kids around different stations at UNBC, talking to them about how important school is.  Basically we are good role models to them and we are sharing with them some things they can do after school instead of going home to empty homes, or homes where no one cares what they do.  This is for 4 of the inner city schools and for kids at high risk.   So we need to share we care.


She/ they are still looking for a few more student mentors for February 28th (Monday). You will get a T-shirt and lunch, but will need to clear it with your classroom teachers. Please let me know by tomorrow morning (Friday) at the latest if you are interested.

MrB.

Let's see as many people as possible out at the game tonight!

Saturday was a very positive experience for the 4 students who accompanied me to serve  breakfast at the  St. Vincent de Paul food kitchen. We provided between 50-65 meals to people who needed it and our efforts were greatly appreciated. We received kind words and jokes the whole morning.

We have another date for breakfast scheduled soon: Saturday, February 11th, from 8:00 - 11:30

Currently volunteering are: Barkha, Brook, Courtney, looking for 3 or 4 more.
