The students in grades 3 & 5 have been participating in building robots
based on the First Lego League challenge of 2014. The group is divided into 3
teams with each team researching a natural disaster and building a robot that
will complete missions that have been assigned to the challenge. Each student will
get their turn to build/add pieces to the robot and they work together to get
the job done. Lego League students meet
every Tuesday from 12:45 until 1:30.
The robots were purchased with funds received from donations and the team
Report cards were sent home on Tuesday, November 18th. Those parents who wish to meet with their child's teacher must call the school to book an appointment. Interviews will be conducted on Thursday, November 20th from 5:30-7:00 and on Friday, November 21st from 12:30-2:30.
Some of our school’s nutrition programs are proudly funded by Breakfast for Learning. Thanks to their support, we are able to offer our students a healthy meal or snack during the school day. Breakfast for Learning is a national charity that is committed to ensuring students attend school well nourished and ready to learn, giving them the best chance of success in life. In the 2013/14 school year, Breakfast for Learning funded 2,402 breakfast, lunch and snack programs, served 251,531 children and youth and provided over 40 million nourishing meals and snacks.
Last year, Jacquet River School collected over 100 bags of clothing for the “Spring Cleaning with Meaning” Clothing Drive Project. Anglophone North School District (ASD-N) is working with The New Brunswick Association for Community Living to help bring awareness of services provided in our community by this agency. How does it work? ASD-N will collect garbage bags of used clothing and other goods as listed below. NBACL will provide a monetary contribution for each bag collected. The money received by ASD-N will be used to support Literacy programs across the district.
Last year some of the Grade 2 students had an
opportunity to participate in the Elf Reading Program. Elementary Literacy
Friends (Elf) is a volunteer-based literacy program that helps Grade 2 students
who would benefit from additional one-on-one literacy activities. The volunteer
works with the student for 1 hour at the end of the school day, twice a week for
10 weeks.
We had a fall and winter session last year at the school
and just started our fall session for this school year on October 14th. The program has been a huge success, with
students moving up several reading levels.
