Students Learning the Voting Process

Students in Mme. Munteanu’s class learned the importance of the voting process by staging an election in their class. Here we see an official, some voters and the result.  

From Terry Fox to Trending Fashion Show

Students at EGS were challenged to raise $2500 for the Terry Fox Campaign. Because they met and exceeded the amount, they were able to dress staff members in high fashion couture, using toilet paper and streamers. Each house group “dressed” their staff leaders with original designs, then the new fashions were paraded on the runway.

Congratulations to EGS for raising $2761.15 for the Terry Fox Foundation.

Back to Work

The month of September has been a busy one, with students getting back into the routine of school. There have been lots of projects started, including these from Mme Munteanu’s class.

New Tradition for EGS

On June 21, National Aboriginal Day, a new tradition was started at Ecole Gravelbourg School.

In Aboriginal culture, a star blanket is a cherished gift that symbolizes respect and honor. It is given to community members who are revered.

The staff and students of EGS will be presenting a blanket annually. This year, the first one was given to Nicole Fister. She is a Metis elder, and has been a source of inspiration and guidance to many.
