Always Having Fun at PA!

Each month our PA family gathers together to celebrate all the great things that happen at Prince Arthur School.  Our Student Leadership Committee led the assembly and showed great Panther Pride. The grade 1 and 2 classes recited poems, we sang Happy Birthday to our students who celebrated their special days in February, and we recognized our amazing Curling team. Theeennnnnn…..we had a little fun! Teachers and students challenged each other in a Cheetos and shaving cream competition.

100 Days Smarter!

Lots of celebrations took place at Prince Arthur School.

Fingerprints

Constable Landon came to Prince Arthur school to fingerprint the children in grades k-3.   The students were sent home with their fingerprint documents for Child Find.  Thank you Constable for keeping us safe!

Family Photo Night

Mrs. Vance organized an opportunity for our Prince Arthur families to have pictures taken by James Johnson from Brighter Image studios. Many families took advantage of the opportunity including the Mercene’s.

Dual Language Books

Did you know that we have many books that are written in English and many other languages from around the world?  Our library contains bilingual children’s books in over 20 different languages in an effort to support our dual language children and their families.  These books were purchased by our School Community Council.  Please feel free to come and speak to our librarian, Mrs. Stevens, to sign-out these wonderful additions to our library!

Family Reading Sundae Social

Prince Arthur Community School recently held a Family Reading Social.  Approximately forty families attended this evening event. Stations were set up around the school that incorporated  different types of literature; comic books, poetry, reader’s theatre, easy read books, mini novels, graphic novels, etc.   RAZZ Kids was demonstrated in our computer lab and our  Little School House Book Exchange was set up in the gym with an information letter.   After spending quality time reading with our families we celebrated by building a sundae!

Reading Across Canada Challenge

During Education Week, our Reading Across Canada Challenge was introduced.  Classrooms are presently submitting their reading so we can track our progress as we attempt to read across our great country.  Thirty minutes of reading  is equal to one hundred kilometers.  This challenge will go for the entire school year. 

Prince Arthur Remembers

Prince Arthur School held our annual Remembrance Day Ceremony to pay tribute to our Canadian soldiers.

Students entered the gym  to the songs “Imagine” and “What a Wonderful World.”  We then collectively sang O’ Canada.  Mrs. Brooks read the story: “A Poppy Is To Remember.”  We enjoyed a video tribute and song: “See You Again,” sung by grade 8 student Regine J; dedicated to our Canadian military personnel and their families,

Guests of Honour at the UofR

On Saturday, October 11 our Grade 7 & 8 students were invited to attend a University of Regina Lady Cougars Soccer Game.  21 students attended with Mrs. Humbert, Mrs. Vance and our parent/bus driver Mr. Hales.  The students were the guests of honour and got to play soccer on the field as the half time entertainment for the spectators.  After the game, the players met with the students and signed autographs on team pictures and university t-shirts that the students received as gifts from the team. 

Our Cross Country Team

The Prince Arthur Cross Country Team has continued to put forth a tremendous effort this year with many successes!  One of our successes has been to have so many students join the team to come out, work hard, and have fun as part of the team.  We have about 50 students from grades 4-8 that have participated in the practice meets at Sunningdale and the Wakamow Invitational Meet.  Two of our students placed  at the Wakamow Invitational Meet and received medals for their accomplishment.
