Royal Winter Fair

In November, the Grade 7 and 8

classes of Fisherville went on a

field trip to the Royal Agricultural

Winter Fair. It was an educational,

fun, and exciting trip.

On the trip, there were a variety of

things to do, such as watch the

Super Dog show, the horse show,

and walk through the shopping

area, where we found many differ-

ent stalls. Vendors sold a variety

of things such as, ice cream, cloth-

ing, jewelry, toys and ornaments.

Students also had the opportunity

to ride a mechanical bull. Most

students were unseated very

quickly. I lasted 10 seconds.

Overall, it was a great experience,

and many of the students enjoyed

it. I certainly did!

Students elected a Student Council

Executive which is comprised of

student representatives from every

homeroom class. During an assem-

bly the representatives chosen will

be given the opportunity to speak

to the student body and explain

why they should be selected to

become the President or Vice Pres-

ident of the Student Council.

Student Council leaders have the

opportunity to plan and organize

fun activities at Fisherville. This

will ensure students are given a

voice in decision making as staff

work in partnership with them to

make Fisherville an inclusive envi-

ronment.

Let Your Voice be Heard

Precious Memories - Class 7C

Students created meaningful

art pieces that illustrated var-

ious scenes related to this

period of time. Through po-

etry, song and dance they

conveyed the message of this

solemn occasion very effec-

tively. The band also played

some moving pieces.

On October 19 our class went

to the Cheltenham Retirement

Home. We went there to

make friends with the seniors

and start clubs to get them

more involved within the re-

tirement home.

When we first arrived a staff

member sat us down and went

over all the rules. We each

partnered up with a senior.

We introduced ourselves and

began a conversation based

on the ice breaker questions

we were given by the staff.

The questions were simple,

but enough to get us acquaint-

ed. We all went around in a

circle to share our buddies’

response, slowly but surely

getting to know each other.

All of this happened in

On Friday November 11, 2016

an assembly was held to com-

memorate Remembrance Day.

We would like to thank Ms.

Agouros and Mr. Dobkin for

organizing this event. Students

did an amazing job of recogniz-

ing the contributions of our vet-

erans; those who have given

their life so that we can live in

a democratic society.

Character Counts

Kids, Cops, & Computers

This year our school partici-

pated in the Kids, Cops &

Computers program spon-

sored by Merry Go Round

Children’s Foundation.

Through this program we

have been privileged to have

20 of our grade 7 students

receive brand new laptop

computers.

During this launch students

also registered in the pro-

gram and received infor-

mation about its specific

expectations.

At the program launch, stu-

dents chosen to be recipients

of the computers met with

staff from the foundation as

well as Officer Shari Spivak

and Ms. Agouros will

run the six “Lead and

Learn” sessions students

are required to attend. Dur-

ing these sessions topics

such as, the role of the po-

lice officer, cyber bullying

and internet safety will be

covered.

Our heart felt thanks goes

out to both the Merry Go

Round Foundation and the

Toronto Police Services,

without whose participa-

tion this program would

not be offered.

our first visit.

We will be going there every

month. In the upcoming visits,

we will be joining clubs to in-

teract more with the seniors on

a personal level. We will be

playing board games, doing

crafts, knitting, speaking Rus-

sian & Hebrew with the seniors

and just basically having fun.

7C is excited to go back to the

retirement home and to visit our

buddies!

With a new school year

ahead, we continue to foster

the development of positive

character traits in all stu-

dents. This is a shared re-

sponsibility between home

and school. There is a need

for family, community and

schools to engage coopera-

tively to encourage students'

learning and maturing as

social beings.

Throughout the year, we

will continue to focus on

respect, responsibility, em-

pathy, kindness and caring,

teamwork, fairness, hones-

ty, co-operation, integrity

and perseverance.

We encourage parents to

reinforce these attributes at

home. Every month Fisher-

ville teachers recognize one

student in their class who

best exemplifies one of these

attributes. Photos of students

who are selected to receive

this award are displayed in

the showcase opposite the

office.
