Dear 6C Student and Parents,
Wow! What a short, but very busy week in grade 6. We started the week off working with
Calgary rapper Transit22. Each of the four grade 6 classrooms wrote a verse for our
Remembrance Day assembly song. 6A focused on D-Day, 6A on Vimy Ridge, and 6C/ 6D
on the after-effects of war. On Thursday, the students then recorded the song with Transit
in our makeshift recording studio in the DLC. On Monday, the students will be recording
a music video.

We also had our Buffalo teachings which focused on the following 4 teachings:
1. Take Responsibility for your Actions
2. Apologize and say you are sorry
3. Forgive yourself
4. Forgive others.

With the Federal election just around the corner, the students researched this week the
four major political parties (Liberals, Conservatives, Green and NDP) and then shared
what they learned with the teachers and grade 4 and 5 students on Thursday. All
division two students then voted in the Student Vote this morning. Results of the
Student Vote across Canada will be released along with the Federal election
results on Tuesday.

This morning we met with The Honorable Minister of Seniors and Housing - Josephine Pon.
Minister Pon was elected to the Alberta Legislature last April as the MLA of the Calgary - Beddington
area. She spoke about her responsibility to represent the people of Sandstone, MacEwan,
and surrounding communities. She explained what she does as a member of the Premier's
Cabinet and how she helps to create legislation to support senior citizens and people looking
for affordable housing in the province.

SVS Pumpkinella!
Get your family together and join in the fun for SVS's Pumpkinella! Design, carve or dress up a
pumpkin to bring for display. ONLY ONE DISPLAY PER FAMILY! Bring your pumpkin to the DLC
after school on Wednesday, October 30th or the morning of Thursday, October 31st from 8:20-8:40am.
The pumpkin may have a safer journey if they are not brought to school on the bus. If you could add
a tea-light to the center of your pumpkin, it will add to a special effect when placed in the gym.
Classes will tour the gym throughout the day to enjoy your efforts. Pumpkins MUST be picked
up to go home by Thursday between 4:00 and 5:00pm. Any pumpkins left at school will be composted.
Choir students:
Please see the links below to practice your songs.
