News From the Senior School
Poetry In Voice
Mr. Mark Duncan, Senior School Teacher
Poetry in Voice is a national organization that promotes the memorization and recitation of great poems. Every
year, students from across Canada participate in local contests with the hope of being invited to the National
Championships, this year held in Vancouver. There are substantial prizes, with $5,000 going to the first place finisher
and $1,000 going to the second place finisher.
This year, SJR students participated in this contest for the second time. First, grade level contests were held, with
eight students from Grades 10-12 chosen to compete in the school contest. Five of these students – Hannah Zhang,
Peirce Dickson, Kasra Khadem, Michael Silk and Elizabeth Roberts – competed in the English stream, while
three students – Yu Qi Wu, Austin Amy and Stephanie Fennell – competed in the Bilingual stream.
On February 18, we held the School contest with the Grade 11 class as our audience. Our three judges were Mr.
Frederick Carsted, former SJR Chemistry teacher, Ms. Nicky Mehta’90, SJR alumnus and member of the Wailin’
Jennys, and Mr. Roger Leveille, a well-known local Francophone writer.
We were all treated to a remarkable display of expertise, as each of the students recited two poems from memory.
Our winner of the English stream was Peirce Dickson (Grade 11), and our winner of the Bilingual stream was
Stephanie Fennell (Grade 12). They have now videotaped their performances for the national adjudicators and await
a decision on whether they will be participating in the National Championships in May.
Thanks to all who made this such a memorable occasion, including the judges, the English accuracy judge, Ms. Esmé
Keith, the French accuracy judge, Mme. Yovana Renghen, the prompter, Mrs. Barb Cahoon, and the tabulator,
Mr. Ray Grynol.
McCracken Scholarship
Ms. Pam Lockman, Senior School Teacher
All Grade 11 creative writers are urged to consider applying for the McCracken Scholarship
this Spring. Students must submit a portfolio of their original, creative work (poems, short
stories, creative nonfiction) in the following format: Title page followed by 10 - 20 pages,
typed, double-spaced, 12 point font, one side only. The deadline is Tuesday, May 20, 2014
right after we return to school from the Victoria Day weekend. Submissions are to be given to
Ms. Lockman or Mr. Bredin, and students may address questions to either one of them.
News from Boarding
SJR’s First Humanities Club
Ms. Stephanie Jean-Paul, Assistant Director of Residence
For many of our international English as an Additional
Language (EAL) boarding students, watching an in-class
movie and answering questions isn’t such a straightforward
assignment. It often involves finding an online version of
the movie to re-watch with Mandarin subtitles or using a
translator program to translate an English word into Korean
and then using a Korean dictionary to understand the
definition, only to discover the concept doesn’t exist in the
Korean language. Sometimes students end up researching
a current topic to write a reflection in your own words…
in your second or third language. Oh and did we mention
this all needs to happen after badminton club, bedtime,
and between studying for the science test the next day! It’s
a process that takes dedication and patience. That’s why
it’s exciting that a brand new Humanities Club has begun!
It is designed to give EAL students the space to catch up,
investigate and inquire in directions that are meaningful,
and/or to simply to help make sense of what they are learning. The club met for the first time on March 11 with Mr.
Jeffrey Peeling, Mrs.Heather Ragot, and Mr. Matt Henderson available to provide help with History, Geography,
Law, Global Issues and English.

Grade 7 & 8 Band Trip
Ms. Nan Lonis, Middle School Teacher
The Grade 7 and Grade 8 Jazz Bands
travelled to the Northwest Missouri State
University Jazz Festival March 6-9. Eighteen
middle school, junior high school, and high
school jazz bands and jazz combos competed
in two performance venues at the university
located in Maryville, Missouri. Our Grade
8 Jazz Band earned a 2nd place trophy for
middle school/ junior high division and had
the 2nd highest score overall and our Grade
7 Band won a 3rd place trophy for the middle
school junior high division and had the fourth
highest score overall.
All three adjudicators were very impressed
with the musicality, style, and overall
interpretation of our jazz band performances.
They found the large number of talented
soloist within each band particularly
impressive; and were blown away by
the solid groove provided by such young
rhythm sections. The students are to be
congratulated for their hard work and mature
approach as we prepared for the festival in Missouri, clinics in South Dakota, and for the trip as a whole. Along with
their band performances the students toured Sioux Falls and went roller skating.

News From the Junior School
Winnipeg Harvest
Mrs. Joanne McLeod and Ms. Lauren Menzo, Junior School Teachers
Recently both Grade 1 classes went for a visit to Winnipeg Harvest. They brought in over 140lbs of donated food and helped sort and
pack over 16 boxes of potatoes that will go to families in need. It was a wonderful experience for the students to take part in this
philanthropic field trip.
Philanthropy Project
Mrs. Vernice Shust, Junior School Teacher
MacKenzie Forsythe, in 5VS, started her own philanthropy project earlier this school
year. After her uncle was diagnosed with a brain tumor, MacKenzie was devastated. She
wanted to raise funds for brain cancer research. MacKenzie wanted to help doctors learn
more about brain tumours so that others would not have to experience this terrible
disease, and so she began making and selling rainbow loom bracelets.
It was just six weeks after she started “Bracelets for Brain Tumor Research” that
MacKenzie had already raised $1,000 by collecting donations for the rubber band
bracelets she made. Hospital staff, doctors, patients, family and friends, and even
strangers were encouraged by this ten year old’s efforts to make a difference. By the
end of 2013 the donations had reached over $1,600 for the Brain Tumour Foundation
of Canada - specifically to provide funding to “Bracelets for Brain Tumour Research”.
Congratulations, MacKenzie!

From the Heart...
As part of philanthropy projects for the 2013-14 school year, the Kindergarten to Grade 2 classes were involved
in some heart healthy activities, keeping a record of all that they did to keep their heart and minds healthy. These
activities were recorded on a graph with their parents and through discussion at home, they decided how much
they could earn for each of these activities. The money they raised was once again donated to the Heart and Stroke
Foundation in honour of Mr. Gerry Briggs. The donation was made at our now annual Jump Rope for Heart event
held in Reimer Gym on Friday, February 21,2014. We are so proud to have raised over $3,000.00 towards the cause.
It was an afternoon of jumping rope and making a difference.
On a personal note, our family would like extend our appreciation for how generous you all were and how we are
humbled by the support that the SJR community has shown us throughout this journey that has changed our lives.
Since this project was started in 2010, over $15,000.00 has been raised in Gerry’s name. We are so fortunate to have
all of you in our lives. Thank you once again. XOXO The Briggs Family - Cheryl, Gerry, Sarah and Kaitlin
Goodbye to Peter Domaradzki
Ms. Cheryl Chaban, Junior School Principal
On Peter Domaradzki’s last day at SJR, the Junior School staff and
students presented him with an apron they all signed. We wish him
continued success in Ontario and will miss him dearly. Peter served as
Food Services Manager (Aramark) at SJR for almost six years.

Grade 2 Open House
Ms. Carla Brown and Ms. Allison Thomas, Junior School Teachers
WHAT’S THE MOST BEAUTIFUL THING YOU KNOW ABOUT ME?
“Grade 2 students recently hosted an Open House for their families to celebrate their learning. Students’ written
and artistic work was inspired by author, Richard Van Camp and aboriginal artist, George Littlechild. Students were
excited to share the stories they wrote and published with their families. Parents were thrilled with the final product.
They recognized how hard their children worked to create the book. Many were impressed with all the details in their
written and artistic work. It was an afternoon that was enjoyed by all.” Ms. Carla Brown - Grade 2 teacher
“Since I have come to SJR, I have been blown away by our community of parents. Our book share Open House
was a terrific opportunity to give back to parents by allowing them the opportunity to participate as listeners in
students’ authorship of a published book. I was a first-hand witness to many tender moments and an abundance of
encouragement and support of our great kids.” Ms. Allison Thomas – Grade 2 teacher
Grade 2 Guest Reader: CTV Weather Reporter, Colleen Bready
Ms. Carla Brown, Junior SchoolTeacher
Ms. Bready braved a very brisk, -39 degrees celcius Thursday morning to
read a couple of stories to students in 2CB and 2AT. Students attentively
listened to the stories: “A Fine, Fine School” and “Cloudy with a Chance of
Meatballs.” They were also given the opportunity to ask Ms. Bready a few
questions. Unfortunately, Ms. Bready could not tell us for certain when
we will be out of this deep freeze. She wishes that she could call Mother
Nature directly to tell her that it’s time for things to warm up in Manitoba!

The show began with a personal video message from well-known CNN correspondent, Ashleigh Banfield. What
followed was a remarkable array of cocktail dresses, gowns, skinny suits and tuxes as well as the latest in street wear.
There was even a bathing suit run!
Parent and Student fashion show co-chairs, Karen Banfield, Lesley Lee, Ingrid Blydt-Hansen, Ally Banfield,
Alexia Ruiz and Mollie Quinton, worked tirelessly for many months to oversee and coordinate the myriad details of
the show. The results were truly wonderful. Bravo!
There were numerous other people who worked alongside the co-chairs and who deserve thanks for their efforts.
Faculty: Nancy Gillies, Barb Cahoon, Kathy MacRae, Christy Donald, Barry Panas, Tina Gordon and David
Prescott.

We Need Your Help!!!
WE REALLY DON’T WANT TO HAVE TO START TOWING CARS BUT WE ARE RUNNING OUT OF OPTIONS …
Please remember that parking is not allowed in the middle of the front parking lot any time between 9:00 a.m. and
4:00 p.m. on school days. This remains a bus loading/staging area and, this year, a construction-supply unloading
area. We know that parking is limited this year. We know that it’s cold. But we also want you and your children and
your vehicle to be safe. Our construction partners are struggling to keep their deliveries moving efficiently and your
vehicles are getting in the way. Fire lanes are getting blocked as drivers create parking spots where none exist.
Please park well, even if it means walking from the street. Always. Even if it’s for “just a minute”. Please and thank
you for your cooperation.
A Reminder to All Students...
In our efforts to control rodent activity within the School we ask that you do not leave any food in your locker or you
may have some unwanted guests enjoying the snacks you leave behind for them.
