​Ms. Mills and her K class decided to give back once again after completing their book drive to help other children this year. D's Dad donated this adorable book house for the front of our school so that every day, children can drop off books they no longer need, and/or pick up a new book to read. This beautiful house is a very popular spot at our school and is used often by all students. Thank you to Ms. Mill's and her K students for always helping others learn and grow. Thank you to Asia & Ryan Knutson and their family. How kind, thoughtful, and generous!

​We are so incredible proud and grateful to be a part of Canada. As our Prime Minister recently tweeted out-Canada is great not despite our differences but because of them! I love that our country represents and celebrates the very values that I feel are so important-respect, diversity, peace, and integrity-just to name a few. Let's celebrate by being kind, respectful, compassionate, and passionate. Let's take care of ourselves, each other, and our earth to thank Canada for all that it has done for us. Happy Canada Day. Wishing you love, joy, peace, and happiness! Happy Summer!!

​The grade 3/4's visited Arborg Heritage Village this month. There were so many old houses and buildings to explore.  Our favourite place was Poplar School which is a one room schoolhouse built in 1921.  Can you believe they had no plumbing or electricity and it was heated by fire?  Mr. Kris Gudmundson told us that male teachers had to wear a suit and tie and female teachers had to wear dresses. He also told us they were very strict and students even got the strap!

​Mrs. Cuthbert challenges all of our students to get outside every day!! Explore, be curious, and take time to enjoy our beautiful outdoors. Limit your screen time, read fabulous books, tell stories, eat healthy food (maybe a few ice cream cones....), get lots of exercise, ride your bike, run, skip, jump, garden, sing, dance, and give lots of hugs!!! Be yourself-be kind, helpful, positive, and joyful. Happy Summer!!

​Happy Retirement Mrs. Chapnick. You  have left us with a legacy and every day we will strive to be the best that we can be. We will continue to recycle, reduce, re-use, and compost. We will be sure to exercise, eat healthy food, drink lots of water, and exercise ! We will play lots of games and we will DANCE !! Thank you for your dedication, compassion, and kindness to all of our students, staff, and their families.  We are happy for you but we will miss you. Please be sure to come and visit us soon....check out our gardens ! We will try to take care of them the same way we will try to take care of each other and our earth! Enjoy this new journey and celebrate!!

​We appreciate all of our SSES family, including our amazing staff, who help our children to learn and grow everyday to be the best that they can be. In the powerful, poignant words of Margaret Mead~

" Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed people can change the world. Indeed it is the only thing that ever has."
