Farm Safety was held virtually on March 27 and 28. Each class got to be further educated on such safety aspects as quad riding (one seat, one rider), lawn mowing (don’t play in the area), PTO shafts (shut off before handling), grain bins, carts and trucks (don’t play in grain), bale stacks (don’t play on stacks of bales), farm animals (from horses and cows to pigs and sheep – be cautious) and slurry tanks (manure quarries on dairy farms that could suck you in). We thank the instructors for helping to educate our kids to keep them safe.

VES had the privilege of hosting the first day of the Vermilion and District Music Festival. Our Grade 5 and 6 students got to listen to a band from Cold Lake as well as some guitar solos. The students found the experience an interesting one.

VES currently has a number of students from universities and colleges at our school. Avery Rawlake and Gracy Fluney are doing their first round of student teaching with the Grade 1 classes. Mrs. Bensmiller is working with 2A and Mrs. Heinrich for her second round of student teaching. Lakeland College students, Miss Jashandeep Kawi (1B), Mr. Amandeep Singh Chahal (5/6), and Miss Madeleine Hayes (6B), are in VES working with classes as student Educational

Assistants. We welcome all of these students and wish them much success in the future.

1. Why do I volunteer?

I am a social person and volunteering lets me meet new people and build community. Being part of the Vermilion & District Chamber of Commerce on the board in past and as President this year, lets me combine my social skills and business skills together to try and assist local businesses and help succeed to the best they can.

2. What have I learned from volunteering?

As a volunteer you never stop learning. Learning about others, yourself and our community. Small changes can have a big impact to people, to businesses and to our friends and neighbours.

I’ve also learned a deep appreciation for all the volunteers in our community. All the hard work and endless time that gets put in by a lot of people to make our community thrive.

3. Why are volunteers important to the community?

Volunteering is important to helping worthwhile causes to people or groups in our community and who are in need. Many organizations rely on the generosity of our local volunteers and cannot continue without them. Every volunteer is so important to keep our
