​Our Grade 3/4 Terrific Kids Club is a noon hour club run by Mrs. Stanicky from the Gimli Kiwanis and principal Mrs. Cuthbert. It is a joint collaboration with the Kiwanis to help students learn how to make a difference in the world by helping others. We recently held an election and the students nominated and voted to select students to represent our club and school. Congratulations to our President Jake, Vice President Tori, Secretary Zuri, and Treasurer Addison as they were nominated and selected by their peers as leaders. We look forward to another year at SSES and positively impacting our school, community, and world.

​SSES held our Remembrance Day assembly on Friday, November 8th. We were very honored to have members of the Gimli Royal Canadian Legion Branch #182 attend, as well as Rick Schulz who gave the Remembrance Day Address. Thank you to all of the parents and community members who joined us and to  Constable Kevin Trefry for your presence during this important event for our school and our country. We remember those who sacrificed so much for us so that we can live in this beautiful, free country and we are so grateful for those who are working diligently today to promote peace in our world. Peace begins with us....in our classrooms, in our homes, on our playground, in our community, and everywhere we go. We can make choices that positively impact the world. Our actions and words matter!! Lest we forget.

​Everyday is a new adventure when our students play and explore our beautiful, natural play space. Some of the favorite natural features and structures are the tree house, the bridge, the tunnel, the rocks and the tree climbers. The swings and sandboxes are always a popular activity too and they are nestled within this area. We are so grateful to our sponsors who made this state-of-the-art project a reality for our students and our community. Thank you to Gimli Kiwanis, Community Places, Noventis Credit Union, Faroex, Westshore Community Foundation, Gimli Super A (Kevin & Cheryl St. Martin), Sigurbjorg Stefansson School Parent Advisory & families, Evergreen School Division, Lakeview Dental, and Van Johnson Memorial. You helped to make our dreams come true!! Thanks also to Minerva Tree Farms, Finn Cab, and Dennis Bobrovich for your artistry, expertise, and strong commitment to excellence when making this unique project come to fruition.
