Dear Parents/Guardians/Students:
On behalf of the ERES staff, we would like to begin by
thanking all our students and their families for the meals,
cards of appreciation and special recognitions provided for
staff appreciation celebrations. Thanks to Rona Pipko and
the SCC Executive for coordinating and leading these
outstanding events. Thanks to the parents who have
contributed to the meals and who have written notes/cards
to recognize the efforts of their child’s teachers,
educational assistants, bus drivers, administrative staff and
administrators. Your generosity and kindness is greatly
admired and appreciated by all ERES staff.
AS noted in last month’s newsletter, during our nonstudent day, the instructional staff focused upon current
school data and prepared the document, ERES LIP Ensuring
Student Success. This document was sent to our families on
Feb. 10/17. The intent of the document is to demonstrate
how we all contribute to student achievement. We have
attached this document to this newsletter for your
convenience in case you did not have a chance to read it.
Also, during this professional development day, our
instructional staff had the opportunity to work with Erin
Kolish, our ELA Consultant from Prairie Valley School
Division. Erin worked with the staff to reflect upon
assessing student writing. Our goal as a staff is to develop
baseline assessment data for future reference as we
continue to focus upon written language instruction.
We thank all the families that participated in our Family
Literacy Day Bingo Challenge. Mrs. Hewitt was very
impressed as to the large number of submissions this year.
We congratulate the following students who were winners
of the challenge: Evan S (2V), Paytyn W (3/4F), and Ayana
W (6S). Each of these students won a $20.00 Chapters gift
card! The funds for these gift cards were provided by our
ERESCC, in support of our Learning Improvement Plan. We
encourage families to implement the Family Literacy Bingo
activities on a continuous basis.
Empowering
Respectful
Enlightened
Students
February has been an extremely busy academic month and
March will prove to be even more demanding. We
congratulate all our students for their efforts towards the
school oratorical. With pride, we congratulate Chante F (8B)
and Jacob Z (7L) who were the top speakers at our ERES Speak
Off and we wish them all the best at the next level of
competition. Please pay special attention to our “Important
Dates to Remember” and the monthly calendar which
highlights upcoming events the students are responsible for.
We look forward to seeing parents and community members
during the upcoming Science Fair and Optimist Band Festival
events, as well as at parent student teacher conferences.
Please note that parents may book conference times starting
at 6:00 a.m. on Monday, March 6/17. The conference
booking system closes on Sunday, March 19/17 at 10:00 p.m.
We would like to congratulate and recognize the grade 7
students of ERES who attended the Red Cross Pink Rally
Tuesday, February 14, 2017. The theme of the Rally was
“Let’s Change the Culture Around Bullying Together”.
Parents can take actions to keep children safe from bullying,
and to prevent a child from bullying others. Download tips for
parents on preventing bullying, whether your child is being
targeted by bullying, bullying others, or witnessing bullying
behaviours.
As we facilitate character development within our students,
ERES staff continually reference and recognize students who
demonstrate our Emerald Values. We also do our best to
ensure children are made accountable and learn from their
actions. This is not an easy task, but we will continuously
strive to provide our students with the skillset and confidence
to:
 respectfully stand up for oneself
 demonstrate empathy and courage to respectfully
stand up for others
 continuously demonstrate integrity and maturity in
order treat one another with mutual respect
“Knowledge will give you power, but character respect.”

The Jr. Girls’ Basketball team has had a fun February. We

intensity on offence helped them to become a stronger
team. Playoffs begin for us when we host March 2nd. If/
when successful, the girls will need to take their show on
the road, the following week. The league final is
Thursday, March 9th (location dependent on teams in the

Mrs. Armbruster
Drama News
Mrs. Armbruster
On Monday, February 13th musician Khari McClelland (The
Freedom Singer) visited ERES and ran workshops for the
students in grade 6 to 8 detailing the history that has
inspired his music. Khari’s traces the steps of his own greatgreat-great grandmother, who escaped from slavery and
sought refuge in Canada in the 1800’s. He resurrects the
songs that inspired slaves who took the secret routes into
Canada between 1840 and 1860. After speaking to elders
and historians and looking through archives, McClelland
began stitching together a suit of songs from this important
chapter in history. As we are currently looking at the
cultures and life stories that make up the tapestry of our
Canadian society, this offers an excellent example of how
one person’s story of migration is shaped and woven into
who we are as a nation.
Following Khari’s workshops, Mrs. Armbruster received this
email from the Folk Festival,
“Just want to say a huge THANK-YOU for the wonderful
workshops this morning. Khari and Andrew were both
so impressed with your students and the conversations
he had with them.”
The One Act play, Alice and Wonderland is well
underway. Please mark the following dates in your

If any students are unable to attend the three dates listed
above please contact Mrs. Armbruster immediately. A
reminder that students need to have their lines memorized.
On Wednesday, February 15th, the grade 8 students were
invited to his live show at the Artesian in Regina. This show
combined music, vocals, and projected images from
McClelland’s research, which was funded by the Canada
Council for the Arts.
