REPORT CARDS AND PARENT TEACHER
INTERVIEWS

Report cards will be sent home with the students on
Friday, December 2nd. Our scheduled parent-teacher in-
terview day is on Wednesday, December 7th. Please make
a special effort to come and discuss your child’s progress
with his or her teacher. Our scheduled interview times
are from 1-4 p.m. and 7-9 p.m., but, as always, other ap-
pointments can be arranged if these are not convenient.

SCHOOL CHOIR

Our new intermediate school choir is busy practising
their Christmas carols. They meet at 12:15 on Tuesdays
and Thursdays, and are definitely adding a joyous note to
our preparations for Christmas. A special thanks to Mrs.
Vickery and Mr. Wolfe for their hard work on this project.

INTRAMURALS

Our intramural sports program has also gotten underway,
beginning on November 14. Our four house teams will
be playing soccer on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays
at aR lsy,
Moms are reminded to pack lunches for kids when it’s
their day to participate because games start promptly at
12:15 and there isn’t time to go home for lunch and
return.

Thank you to Mr. Waldera for organizing the league, and
to all the teaching staff who will be giving up their lunch
hours to supervise the games.

The 1988/89 Playgroup season is in full swing.
This year we have a total of 13 youngsters. All a joy in
their own right.

In October Mrs. Iris Trask’s students came to the
Playgroup room and painted the children’s faces and then
took a video tape of them all. Some children were a little
reluctant to have their faces painted, but by the end of
the class they all participated.

We also‘had our joint Halloween Party, which was
very enjoyable. Mr. Garry Periard judged the costumes,
and drew the following conclusions:

First - Jacquelin Rozon (Raggedy Ann)

Second - Levi Kethler (Rock Star)

Third - Daniel Drzimotta (Dinosaur)

Third - Angela Wilson (Princess)

Fourth - Bobbi-Lee Simonovic (Pumpkin)

All of our little ones’ costumes were very well done.

We would like to thank Tracy Kellar and Laurie
Storch for a wonderful job on the Haunted House and
decorating.

We would also like to thank those Mum’s who
baked for our Bake Sale held on October 26. Within one
hour all’ the goodies were sold. We- made $103.93.

In November the children were busy making de-
cbrations for the Bazaar on November 19 and also for
their own Christmas trees. Some of the decorations were
a little different, but the majority of them were very good.

We will be holding our joint Christmas Party_on
December 16th, and then we will be breaking for the
Holidays. Our return date is January 4, 1989.

MERRY CHRISTMAS

VOLLEYBALL

Our Grade Seven class played host to the Grade Seven
class from Watson Lake Elementary for some thoroughly
enjoyable volleyball on Friday, November 4th. This very
successful event was characterized by good. organization,
great participation, and super sportsmanship. Congratula-
tions, Grade Sevens, on a fine performance and thank
you, Mrs. Yakiwchuk, for making it possible.

THANK YOU, CASSIAR!

Our annual Unicef campaign, conducted by ghosts and
goblins as they went Trick-or-Treating, yielded a total of
$520.15, an increase of almost $100 from last year.
Thank-you, Cassiarites, for your generosity and Snowridge
students for your efforts to help less fortunate children
around the world.

A FAMILY CHRISTMAS

‘The staff and students of Snowridge Elementary invite
you to bring your family to school at 6:30 p.m. on

SCHOOL ADVISORY COUNCIL

The School Advisory Council sponsored a forum for
the candidates in the School Board Trustee elections, on
Wednesday, November 16.
The next School Advisory Council Meeting will be held on
January 11, 1989.

TIMELY TEDDY

Again, our ,Teddy had to do some wandering from class to
class. The Grade Four, Six, and Seven classes had abso-
lutely no lates in October and so they got to enjoy Ted-
dy’s company for just over a week each. Timely Teddy is
wondering if he’ll ever get to spend some time in Grade
One, Two, or Three, so those students will have to
work on getting in to school on time.

INTRAMURALS

The playoffs for the Cassiar Secondary Intra-
mural “Big Net” Indoor Soccer Championship
were held during the week of November 7-10. In
the opening round the Blizzard defeated the 86ers
in a shootout, and thei Liry defeated the Steelers
3-2 on a goal in the dying seconds of the game by
the “Yugoslavian Express’, Vlado Kovacic. ;
As a result, the Fury and the Blizzard played on
Thursday, November 10 to decide the league
championship and the Blizzard defeated the Fury
by a score of 5-3. The members of the champion-
ship team are: Chris Hyde, Mr. Ted Beck, Adrian
Dostie, Jackie Roblin, Zoran Radulovic, David
Liddle.

The next round of intramurals will feature ‘‘one
bounce volleyball’ in. which players will be al-
lowed to play the ball off the floor and ceiling.
The reason for the adjustment in the rules of this
fine sport is to encourage as many students and
staff as possible to become involved in this acti-

vity.
OPEN HOUSE - REPORT CARD NIGHT

A large number of parents attended the first
“Open House - Report Card Night” of the school
year on Thursday, November 17.

In order to attract a greater number of parents,
numerous student displays were available for
viewing in the gym. In addition, Mrs. Trask’s
Drama and Choral Music students entertained the
audience with several short plays and three Broad-
way tunes. ®

FEDERAL ELECTION

In order to make students more aware of the
federal election campaign and the platforms of the

- three leading parties, Mr. van der Pol and Ms.

Kuechle and their Social Studies and English 10
and 11 students organized a mock federal election
campaign. The three party leaders were: Ellen
Artico, Conservative leader; Lyle Meise, Liberal
leader; and Roland Rudkowsky, N.D.P. leader.
On Friday, November 18, a public forum was held
for all students at which time the three leaders ex-
plained their party’s policies and responded to
questions from a student panel.

Coinciding with the federal election on Noventber
21, students and staff “‘went to the polls’’ and
marked a ballot for one of the three candidates.
The results of the election paralleled the national
results in that the Conservative candidate, Ellen
Artico, was elected as the M.P. of Cassiar Secon-

BOB WILSON.”
REMEMBRANCE DAY SERVICE

On November 10, a Remembrance Day Service was

held at Cassiar Secondary. A large part of the ser-

vice was “‘student-centred’’ in that students from
Virs. Trask’s drama class performed excerpts from

3arry Broadfoot’s book “The Six War Years’. In °

addition, our new Choral Music program under the
guidance of Mrs. Trask sang ‘‘O Canada’ and the
“Green Berets’’. :

| would also like to thank Reverend Allan Studd
for addressing the assembly. The theme of his talk
was a very moving ““Remembering’”’.

NEW OUTDOOR CLUB

| am pleased to announce the organization of a
new extracurricular activity at Cassiar Secondary
called the ‘‘Bandana Outdoor Club”, under the
guidance of Mr. Trask.

Some of the activities planned for the future in-

clude a winter survival camp, bow-archery, fly ~

tieing, the CORE program, wild game dinners and
a major trip to a wilderness area.

In order to finance these activities the group is
willing to shovel roofs and driveways. If you are
interested in hiring the club for these purposes,
please contact Mr. Eck Trask at 778-7367.

The members of the club are: Mr. Trask, Mr.
