THANK YOU MARTHA CULLIMORE!

A deep, heart felt thank you to the students, parents and friends of Martha Cullimore.   We raised over $3000 for the Rankin Cancer Walk/Run, smashing our goal of $2000!   Students participated in various fund raising activities, such as freezie and popcorn sales and our Play-Day buy out.  Our staff was over-whelmed by the support for this great cause!   A  big thank you to the “Me to We” club for selling freezies, counting money and running the play day.   Their enthusiasm and determination to reach our school wide goal was inspiring.  I have never been so proud of our students and community for their cooperation and commitment to this cause.   All of our money raised will go toward helping Cancer support agencies in the Niagara Region. Thank you so much Martha Cullimore!  You are truly the greatest school in the DSBN!

Students in Mrs. Bellinger's class enjoyed our final task in science today!

We had a few eggs get scrambled, but it was fun to watch and learn!

They designed and built an EGG PROTECTOR! It had to meet the following standards:

• It should be attractive, so people will want to buy it.

• It needed to solve the problem of breaking eggs. The Egg Protector should keep the egg from breaking when it experiences the force of hitting the ground.

• It needed to be as cheap as possible, so more people can afford to buy it. Try to have the least expensive Egg Protector in the class!

Grade 2 and 3 Detective Graduation

Grade 2 and Grade 3 Students graduated from "Detective School" on Friday, February 10th. They had been working on their detective skills. Each detective learned to read between the lines, by using their background knowledge and text clues to infer something that was not written in the text. The young detectives were presented with magnifying glasses at the ceremony. We infer by their smiles that they had a good time.

Grade 2 and 3 students met in the library to review what they had learned about fractions and enjoy some healthy treats. They shared halves of apples, tenths of grapes and orange slices (some groups had tenths and some had elevenths). Then they wrote recipes to make their fruit fractions in to fruit salad. It was a delicious math class. Click here to view pics.

Pioneer Day!

The grade three's spent November 25th back in the 1800's. They traveled back in time to experience a day in a pioneer classroom. Each student dressed the part, and assumed the name of an actual pioneer student from the Jordan School House circa 1908. Students did roll call, penmanship, arithmetic, a spelling bee, a memory verse and arts and crafts. It was a very strict, but fun day had by all!

A Hero's Welcome for World War II Veteran:

On Friday November 11th, the staff, students and community jointly took time to remember those who have served our country to provide us the freedom in which we have today. The school watched some videos about what a great country Canada is, detailing all of the important and beautiful aspects of this great nation. The students were then shown the reality of war on video, and how many people risked their lives so that we can enjoy our freedom today. The choir sang a Remembrance Day song written last year by our very own students, as well as a playing of 'O Canada', was performed. MC Guys Read also read a very touching story about the importance of spreading a little peace. A big thank you to our two MC's, Thomas and Jacob for the day, who also did a great job! LEST WE FORGET

Mr. Hamill, a World War II veteran was in attendance for this years Remembrance Day service held at the school on November 11. Our students were very respectful and grateful to Mr. Hamill for showing his courage and determination at such a young age. In a touching moment, many of our very students went over to Mr. Hamill to thank him for everything he has done to make our country the best in the world! From all of us at Martha Cullimore, we will always remember and never forget the sacrifices that you, and the rest of the veterans have done for this great nation!
