Last week, we had a special guest come to VES to teach our students about being bear aware. Mitch Visser, Fish and Wildlife Officer and a hometown hero, brought a bear with him to teach the students how to be safe when bears are around. We learned about how bears get relocated to keep the humans and bears safe. Thank you so much, Mr. Visser.
On a Sunday in April, a broken computer was found in a classroom at VES. But do not worry, the Grade 6
Detectives-In-Training were on the case. They analyzed footprints, fingerprints, handwriting, tire tracks and chromatography. Douglas said, “When we first got to the crime scene, we saw all the footprints on the ground. All of them were walking except Mrs. Doherty’s. She sprinted out after reaching the PC. We then went to look at the fingerprints. Mrs. Doherty has lots of fingerprints all over the PC. Then we saw that her car was also there at the crime scene. Finally the Chromatography and graphology matched up. All the evidence points to Mrs. Doherty. This is why we are going to ‘arrest’ her.” Science 6 sure is fun.
Our Spring Concert took place on May 12 during the noon hour. Douglas Romeo and Beaudon Rose were our MCs. Grade 5 and 6 students started the concert with band instruments. Each grade performed, with performances of singing, scarf interpretive music, and choral speaking. The concert ended with our traditional rain storm (we were hoping to entice the rain). Thanks to all audience members who helped to make this day memorable for our students.
Food bank items were collected all last week and during the spring concert. We thank those who made a food donation. All food will be donated to our local food bank.
