Grade 7 Trip to Heritage Park & School Wide Track Event Volunteers Needed
As a complement to our Grade 7 Social Studies curriculum, Midsun students will be visiting Heritage Park on May 25th or May 27th. Students will participate in a program called ‘Plains, Trains and Immigrants,’ which takes a closer look at the arrival of immigrants to Canada’s Western Provinces throughout the 19th and 20th centuries. We are currently looking for parent volunteers with security clearance to accompany us on this trip. If you are available for one or both days (9:00 am – 3:00 pm), please send Mrs. Curran an e-mail at amcurran@cbe.ab.ca to sign-up. We thank you for your continued support in providing engaging and fun learning experiences for our students!
Ms. Amirault is looking for a few parents to volunteer at
the track & field meet this Thursday, May, 14th.
The position she needs help with is being a timer at the
finish line for the track events. You need to be confident with a
stopwatch and ready to make some decisions with close finishes.Due to the event taking place in a couple of days, volunteers must have a valid police clearance on file in order to help out.
The meet is from 8:45am – 2:30pm.
Please send her an e-mail @ nlamirault@cbe.ab.ca or call the school if you are able to volunteer.
Thank you in advance!

MidSun Votes
On May 4th our students at Midsun had the
opportunity to vote in a mock election, put on by the Civix project called
“Student Vote Alberta”. Previous to Monday the students spent time in class
engaging in conversations about politics in Alberta, and the various platforms
of the political parties. Some classes watched and critiqued the political
debate that aired on Global TV, and other classes watched videos released by
“Student Vote” where they asked the party leaders questions.
Many students relayed that they had engaging and interesting
conversations with their parents, family, and friends regarding the election.
That is precisely the point in this project. It allows students to have these
important conversations. Some students will be eligible to vote within the next
few years, and a project like this familiarizes them with not only the process
of voting, but also of doing research into which party has the platform that
they believe in the most in.
You’re probably wondering about the results, right? The
results were aired on the news on election night, and some of you may have seen
them. If not, this is how Midsun students voted:
550 students voted
Alberta Party: 44Liberal Party: 50
NDP: 172
Progressive Conservatives: 117
Wildrose: 206
The experience was very informational. We would like to
thank Civix and “Alberta Student Vote” for providing us with the materials for
this activity.
Civix provided us with data gathered from schools across the province. Over 87,000 students voted in 792 students reported results, representing all 87 divisions.
The Results of the "Alberta Student Vote" was that the NDP won a majority government with 56 seats
and the Wildrose Party formed the official opposition with 23 seats. The
Progressive Conservatives won 6 seats and the Liberals and Alberta Party each
took 1 seat.

Annual Staff vs Student Hockey Game & Fundraising update
On April 17th, the Annual Staff vs Student Hockey
Game took place at South Fish Creek Rec Centre. As usual, it was a fun
game for all. The students made history by tying the game and taking the
Staff into a pressure filled over time.
The staff scored in the exciting overtime period, keeping
their winning streak intact. Thank you
to all the participants and spectators for making the afternoon successful.
All the money raised during this event is being added to the
year’s effort to raise $10,000 for Free the Children. The focus this year
is to build a school in an impoverished country. To date, we are half way
to this goal.
The next major fundraising event will be the Spring Carnival on Wednesday June 3, 2015. Please watch the
blog for more information. If you want to make a donation to the
cause, donations can be dropped off at the office.
Thank you for your continued support
