Our February assembly took place on February 1. We started the assembly with the singing of O Canada and the reading of the Land Acknowledgement by Grade 6 students, Ben and Keifer. Fat Cat was present and dancing at our assembly. We thank Fat Cat and the Vermilion Credit Union for their vital role in our AR program and for continuing to be present in our assemblies. In AR for the month of January, we earned 1328.9 points, giving us a total of 6977.8 points to date. 2200 books and 5,623,562 words were read in January. The top reader in division 1 was Gideon Williams with 19.5 points (Grade 3/4) and in division 2, it was Logan Freeman (5B) with 37 points. Congratulations to both boys. Grade 6 students, Taylor and Kinley shared information about our next Grandfather Teaching, which is Honesty. Honesty is saying what you mean and meaning what you say, as well as staying true to yourself. It is represented by the Sabe (Bigfoot or Sasquatch). The assembly ended with Mr. Haslehurst showing us some optical illusions to get us excited about the upcoming Science Fair.
On February 2, the Grade 3 students in Mr. Haslehurst’s class finished explaining their homemade instruments. After that, they formed groups of 4-5 students and performed a song for the class. They should be very proud of their accomplishments.
On February 23, VES will be hosting our Celebration of Learning. Our hope is that this will present an opportunity for VES families to be more engaged in their child’s learning and school, to celebrate their child and all they have learned this year, to demonstrate the importance of education to their child, to be informed of what their child is learning at school, and to have fun and connect with the VES school family. We hope to see lots of VES families in attendance.

J.R. Robson would like to thank the Park Plains ATA Local for providing us with the funds to purchase an AeroGarden. So far we have started lettuce, dill, cucumbers, zucchini, and tomatoes. We are now working to incorporate it into various courses in our school such as Foods, and Science 7.
