SNOWBIRDS Fly High For Excellence

Hello VandenBos Team! We can't believe how incredibly busy and dedicated ostudents, staff and community are. Our walkthroughs have confirmed that thteaching and learning at VandenBos is the number one focus. Not only are thclassrooms alive with curious learners, but student leadership, music, drama, aand athletics fill the hallways with VandenBos talent and spirit. Everyone here 'Flying High with Excellence.' Two more months of school before summvacation arrives, however, here at CMV, we are in full swing. Students and staare working hard to consolidate the skills and knowledge that are required for thegrade level to best prepare our students for the next grade. This is especially trufor our students in grade three and six, as they prepare for the annual provinciassessment in May/J une. We continue to encourage all students to complete thedaily assignments to the best of their ability, and to read for pleasure as much apossible. This is particularly important for our grade eight students as they havtheir sights set on high school. There are several exciting events planned for ostudents in May and June, so please read the newsletters carefully, check yochild's agenda for notices and refer to the Durham District School Board calendfor key dates to remember.

We are proud to be Snowbirds and are so grateful to be working with your dynamic, respectful and dedicated students each and every day.-The CMV Staff

What CMV Students say about PRESEVERANCE-I persevered through my grandmas passing and still think of her all the time.Parker-At the indoor bike park, I saw how high the jump was and got nervous. I realized I wouldnt get any better, so

persevered and went for it.Thomas

-When I learned to snowboard, let me tell you, it didnt go well as planned. I fell on my face hundreds of times

I persevered and never gave up. I moved up levels and I still snowboard today for fun.

Robert

-This year, Ive been trying my best throughout all the subjects. I am going to persevere

and strive to reach my goal.Ryan

-It took me 3 years to get one of my jumps in skating consistently and I havent lost it

yet.Julia A
