MILK RUN ‘80 Mr, Chambers Balin presented with ¢ a Frente on behalf of the “Milk Run” by Olavo Santos, Teresa Bartell and Garred Huber. Cassiar School raised over $100.00 with 35% of the stu-- dents participating. , Apri 30, 1980 marks the first time Cassiar School has been involved in the B.C. School Sports Milk Run, a year- ly fund-raising event sponsored by the B.C. Dairy Found- ation. There are, perhaps, four purposes for participating in the Milk Run: to run for the disabled, to be given wholesome nutrition, to donate to a cause and to exper- ience a large group activity. Firstly, the main idea is for the healthy children of this province to run for those who are disabled and cannot run. Secondly, each participant is supplied with a carton of milk at the completion of the run. This has a two-fold purpose: to quench the thirst of the runners and to promote the wholesome qualities of milk alongside a wholesome attitude towards fitness. = Thirdly, the participants are asked to donate towards the a 4 and then donate for the same cause. In explanation, it is as hoped the participants will realize, as they run, they are a .enjoying something the disabled child will never enjoy = and* the participants will therefore» withadonation, put i=) D AR Disabled Children’s Fund, It may seem strange to first run more happiness into the lives of those less fortunate. Fourthly, and perhaps most importantly, the participants = are in a voluntary group fitness activity, where they ex- HONOR ROLL © As a result of the third report card the following stud- ents have achieved a “’B’ average, which is Honour Roll Standing, GRADE 8 Gabor Fricska ‘GRADE 9 Wendy Cartwright Uschi Froehlich GRADE 10 Barb Guderjahn Donna Taylor GRADE 11 Kathy Johnston Gord Kamlah Gale Fugere Karen Taylor GRADE 12 Keith Marion prone Ex erence Program to Begin Under the direction of Mr. W. Giesbrecht Cassiar Elem- entary-Secondary School will shortly initiate the 1980 Work Experience program. With the co-operation of lo- cal industry and services, selected students will have the opportunity of spending from one week to three weeks in on the job experiences, It is hoped that this will allow the students to judge whether the area observed is a career which they would wish to pursue. This experience will be available to selected students ia grades 10 to 12 who are 15 years of age or older, The school would like to thank all those who are supporting this project, and in particular the recent assistance provided by Cassiar Asbestos Corporation. Parent Advisory Committee As Mrs, Mary Isaaks has left Cassiar, Mr. Mel Taylor has now assumed the role of Chairperson of the Parent Ad- visory Committee. Mr. Taylor and Mr, Fred Cousins, on behalf of the Parent Advisory Committee, met with Of- ficial Trustee, Mr. Garry Roth, to discuss plans for a gathering of representatives from each of the schools to form a District Advisory Committee. This was a very positive meeting with agreement being reached that the Official Trustee will provide financial support for the formation of a District Advisory Committee, which will meet twice a year, with the first meeting in Cassiar in the fall. At the end of May or the beginning of June elections will be held by the Parent Advisory Committee. Support the good work that has been done this year by standing for election to this important group and helping contin- ue the positive work, Principal's Comments | have been askea by the ‘School Scandal’, the school newspaper, to comment on a number of issues and | wouldbehappy todo so. Late System The school feels that when someone is late for school or a specific class that it is- discourteous disruptive and that it is poor training for the job market In owner words, it is unacceptable, Realizing that from time to time there may be an unavoidable reason for be- ing late the school allows two.lates a month, that is twenty times a year, without any consequence befalling the individual. After this period of grace, the school feels that something should be done to discourage the trend from continuing. The school believes its present system does this, however, it is not ideal. | would put the ques- tion to you, ‘‘How should the school deal with habitual- es ly late students?”’ Any reasonable suggestions will be ser-~ iously considered. One at TEACHER: “When was the Iron Age?’* ANDY: “Before Drip-dry.” Library Skills Program. for Secontary Students It is the feeling of the school that the library skills pro- gram is an integral part of the English and social studies program, Cassiar is fortunate enough to have the best li- brary in the Stikine School District. The school is trying to gain from this situation by striving to ensure that stu- dents can take full advantage of this resource. | am sure that both students and teachers are aware of the import- ance of communication and research skills. It is one of the goals of Cassiar Elementary-Secondary School to work on upgrading communication and research skills. When an individual can prove competence in this area they are excused from the program, It would seem bene- ficial to the student to be actively involved in this task. Smoking Room for Senior Students The school believes in discouraging students from smok- ing. The Student Council has also supported this stand. If a suitable space in the school was available for a smok- _ ing room for senior students, which it is not, there are far more beneficial ways that it could, and would, be put to use for the benefit of the school. Paving of the School Driveway Wouldn't this be great. | am in full support of this con- cern. Unfortunately there are a number of road blocks. The first is that until plans for the expansion of the school are finalized there is no point in paving an area when the next year it could have classrooms sitting on it. A second problem is $$$$$$$. When these problems can be overcome, progress will be made. Introduction of a Cafeteria Separation of Elementary anit Secondary Students — These two concerns are related, as was the previous issue as they are tied in with the facility. As some of you are aware, three years ago, a proposal was-made for a pri- mary school for Cassiar. This was rejected. Last week. two gentlemen from the Ministry of Education were in Cassiar to review the facility. A great many concerns were pointed out to them. It is possible that their re- commendations to the Ministry of Education in 1981 will be that Cassiar should obtain a new primary school. This is certainly our recommendation. If this recom- mendation were accepted in 1981, then it would not be’ | before September 1983 that Cassiar would have a new school, and thus be able to pursue the above possibilities The school is in favor of this and the Superintendent/ Official Trustee is in favor of it. Now it is up to the Min- istry of Education. School Dance The Student Council will be holding a Spring Dance on May 23, It seems likely that “™the"Grade TO°¢lass will take” on the sponsorship of the dance. Two possible themes have been suggested - a barn dance or a greaser dance. ™ “ Sl tng NI 1Q00H9S 3H GNNOHUY. | SHIRTS ONLY Phone 778-7723 378 McDame St T-SHIRTS SHIRTS ETC.
