Learn Not to Burn Program This specialized program for younger Elementary students is run with Captain Egan and her team from the Markham Fire Department. Offered to students in grades 1 to 3, the fire fighters do information sessions throughout the school year and address questions from students regarding fire safety. The program reinforces the need to check our smoke detectors to ensure they are working properly and how to create a fire escape plan with their families. An annual highlight of this program occurred on May 31st with a visit from the fire department where students had the opportunity to explore a fire truck and were shown the fire fighting equipment, how it’s used and even taking a turn experiencing what it’s like to turn on the fire hose with a little help from a fire fighter. It was a wonderful addition to the school program and thoroughly enjoyed by our students. Elementary Summer Camp Day The annual Elementary Summer Fun Camp Day on June 4th was a huge success with students from grades 1 to 7 eagerly participating in all the activities. Our grade 8 students helped run the various activity stations and events including Face Painting, Chalk Drawing, Four-In-A-Row, Basketball Change and a visit to the Freezie tent for a cool snack. For those who didn’t mind getting wet, there was also a Sponge Relay, Duck Pond Matching Game and Drip, Drip, Splash! Taking advantage of the wonderful weather, all activities and games took place outdoors in our playfield. The students’ laughter and enjoyment was infectious. Thank you to the grade 8 students who helped run the various activity stations. It was a great day for both students and staff. Can’t wait for Summer Camp to begin on July 2nd!Previous Page 1 Interim pages omitted … Page 19 Page 20 Page 21 Page 22 Page 23 Interim pages omitted … Page 115 Next
