Killam students ood streets with kindness
Killam Public School students and staff flooded the bitterly cold streets last Thursday, Nov. 28, to distribute notes of kindness throughout Killam, attaching them to vehicles parked in parking lots and along the streets. It was part of a special whole-school project to reach out to the community at large, spreading kindness. Story P22. Published weekly in Killam & Sedgewick, Alberta www.thecommunitypress.com

Multiple Daysland businesses report break-ins Leslie Cholowsky Editor with files from Cpl. Trent Cleveland
Killam RCMP members responded to 60 calls for service from Thursday, Nov. 21, to Thursday, Nov. 28. RCMP were required to attend a 911 hangup in the Heisler area to determine there had been no emergency. Police must respond to all 911 calls under new protocols, whether accidentally dialled or not. Seven abandoned vehicles were reported to police during this period, all were breakdowns, none were related to criminal activities. RCMP were called to euthanize an injured deer. Police dealt with three complaints of assault. In Hardisty, members investigated what was determined to be a consensual fight between individuals. Another incident occurred in rural Flagstaff which turned out to be a dispute between siblings, with no charges laid. Charges are pending from a third complaint, again in rural Flagstaff between two adults, which may include breach of conditions. Killam members assisted the Grand Prairie parole office seeking an individual released from custody and thought to be residing in this area. Killam also assisted the probation office regarding three outstanding warrants regarding a file originating in our area, however the person no longer lives in the region. Police responded to a breach of the peace complaint, which turned out to be a verbal dispute, members attended and kept the peace. Six Daysland businesses reported break and enters over the week. All files are actively under investigation and being followed up on. Surveillance video has been obtained showing two male suspects. Cst. Jacob Ott is the lead investigator in these incidents. A report of a break and enter in Lougheed is under investigation; video shows two suspects breaking into a business. A break and enter incident in Amisk has charges pending. Police were called to Forestburg where an intoxicated male customer was upset. Charges are pending against an individual for driving with undue care and attention. A well publicized police pursuit of two suspects believed responsible for a break-in in Hanna did not travel through the Killam Detachment’s area of service, but three members from the detachment assisted with the pursuit, which resulted in an individual being taken into custody.

Junior astronauts are in schools all across Canada
Emily Tanton
Student Reporter
The Canadian Space Agency (CSA) is offering a unique opportunity across Canada that allows students to learn what it really takes to become an astronaut, and even gives them the chance to meet Canadian astronauts and space experts in person. The Junior Astronauts campaign is meant to get Canadian youth interested in careers in the space field and excited about science and the role they could play in future space projects. Through online and downloadable activities, the program is a unique way to promote space education. The campaign is designed to run in schools or organizations for youth during the 2019-2020 school year to prepare students for an opportunity to take part in a camp in summer of 2020, at the CSA's headquarters in Saint-Hubert, Quebec. During the camp, kids will get to meet some top engineers and scientists and train like an astronaut. The campaign includes activities for Grades K-12 as the campaign aims to be inclusive, accessible, and adaptive to learning styles and schedules
across the country. Schools may sign up to participate in a curriculum-friendly portion of the program designed for students in Grades 6 to 9
that focuses on science and technology, fitness and nutrition, and communications and teamwork. The campaign is com-
pletely adaptable to each classroom, classes may complete as few or as many activities as they choose, and when classes complete at least one

stream of activities, educators can enter a random draw to win a visit from an astronaut or a space expert. Should a school or organization choose to participate in the Junior Astronauts campaign, there will be no cost to download the program and very little materials are required to make space education and exploration fun and interactive. Home-schooled students are still able to apply to receive the cam-
paign activities as well, they just won’t be eligible for an astronaut visit. This Junior Astronauts campaign is a step in the right direction to inspiring the next generation of Canadians astronauts to follow their passion for space exploration and discovery.

Killam School students and staff practice random acts of kindness Leslie Cholowsky Editor Some visitors and residents in Killam on Thursday, Nov. 28, got a special treat when they returned to their vehicles, after 178 students and 16 staff at Killam Public School (KPS) papered large areas of the town with random notes of kindness. KPS teacher Jocelyn Miller says the project was planned by herself and Principal Brock Bartlett. “It was about getting staff and students doing things together. “We have a wholeschool mentality at KPS where we do activities including our Kindergarten to Grade 9 students as a family.”
She says, “We surprised everyone last week. We talked about kindness having a ripple effect in our community, and then we handed everyone a package of sticky notes and asked them to write messages of kindness.” Miller says the students then hit the streets. “It was so cold that day! We intended to paper the entire town, and we did do a large chunk, including the Agriplex, Hospital, Main Street, and the blocks around it.” She says the big kids helped the little kids, making sure everyone showed lots of respect for vehicles. “We distributed well over 250 notes, many more,” she says. When the students and
staff returned to the school, Miller says the overall mood was outstandingly positive. “Our students were so excited, it was a very feel-good moment.” She says the activity caught notice on social media, with many hoping the activity would spread to all the communities in the region, and further. “Sometimes it can be hard for youth to find their place in the community,” Miller says. “It’s great for our communities to see our youth having a positive impact on the world around them. We hope that it inspires our community, too. “We’re teaching our students that it feels good to be kind!”
Killam Public School students distributed over 200 post-it notes with positive messages as a random act of kindness last Thursday, Nov. 28, in Killam.
