Fostering a positive community of learners – S’engager dans une communauté harmonieuse d’apprenants
240 – 1st Avenue West Gravelbourg Sk P.O. Box 930 S0H 1X0 (306) 648-2480 Website: https://schools.prairiesouth.ca/gravelbourg
On Thursday, March 15th, Saskatchewan Association of Agricultural Societies and Exhibitions (SAASE), Red Coat Ag Society, Progressive Agriculture Foundation, Community Initiatives (CIF), Ministry of Agriculture, SaskPower, Farm Credit Cooperation and Prairie South Schools hosted our South Safety Day 2018 at the Prince of Wales Centre in Assiniboia. Over 230 grade 7 & 8 students attended the event.
The day was designed for students to be exposed to safety hazards which they may encounter in the work place and their daily lives. Students participated in 13 interactive stations that were presented by many local and provincial organizations.
Pink Day February 28
Older students
buddied up to mentor
younger students
with a sort activity
aimed at identifying
helpful vs harmful
behaviours, and
suggesting that simply
being kind can bring
about a positive
outcome.
“Kindness Has no Filter” Students composed text messages on pink sticky notes and constructed a large heart in the atrium!
Red Cross Pink Day was observed
February 28. The theme for the day,
“Be Someone’s Hero”, was illustrated
making superhero masks, encouraging
students to battle negativity with their
positive powers!
Students finished up their
buddy activity and superhero
craft with a pink snack – pink
wafer cookies….YUM!

Bantam Basketball
The Bantam Mixed
basketball team had a
tremendous season. All
players improved their skills,
improved their fitness,
learned how to be good
teammates, learned about
the game of basketball, had
fun and represented their
school with class and good
sportsmanship. Thank you
to all the players for a very
fun season!
–Mr. Lehmann
We Act Green Club
Pictured are the winners for the We

Students had to find and unscramble

letters hidden around the school, and
find the correct number of hidden
hearts. Winners received a
Valentine’s treat bag!

Bus Reminders
Food/Drink on Bus o We've had a few occasions lately where buses have
come back from trips (generally the longer trips to places like Mission Ridge, etc.) full of garbage and sticky from spilled drinks.
o Please remind staff and students that there is no eating or drinking on the buses except for water.
o Beyond the clean-up required when the bus is returned, the number one reason we (and other school divisions) do not allow eating on the bus is the risk of choking.
o The school will be charged a minimum of 2 hours for clean-up.
Objects/Projectiles on Bus o Just a reminder that SGI prohibits objects such as
hockey sticks, skis and snowboards from being transported on school buses.
o Larger objects, which cannot be placed on students' laps or on the floor under the seat in front of them, can be placed in the first row of the bus behind the driver, but no higher than the seatbacks and cannot stick out into the aisle.
o On regular route buses there must also be room available – we cannot displace students.
