The Southside teachers have also been doing their best to ease the transitions that come with this time of year with fun, interesting and varied programming. Southside preschool program The Southside preschool program began the year with a unit on bears, including learning about hibernation, exploring a “bear cave,” and participating in a Teddy Bears’ picnic complete with a porridge snack. In October, they will explore the season with songs and poems about fall and Thanksgiving, and sensory bins with leaves. Upcoming events include the dinosaur unit in November and Christmas in December. Bytown kinders program In the Bytown kinders program, the children For ads call Gayle at 730- 1058 have been having a lot of fun with themes including “Back to School,” “Me and My Family” and the fall season. In October, their focus will change to the harvest, apples, Thanksgiving and Hallowe’en, always a spooky favourite! Themes in November and December include fairy tales, dinosaurs, Christmas and Hanukah. Throughout the year, the children will also enjoy special activities, including music and movement, hip hop, a visit from children’s musician Russell Levia, an interactive session with Little Ray’s Reptiles, a play at Carleton University and visits with the senior citizens at the Colonel By Residence. After-school recreation program The after-school recreation program is also in full swing, with the children doing beading, origami and baking brownies. They’ve also been having a blast with the karaoke machine, and playing badminton and volleyball. For more information about Southside programs, contact Joanne Iob at 730-5819.

OCTOBER 2005 OCDSB TRUSTEE REPORT The OSCAR - OUR 31 st YEAR Capital Ward School News Lynn Graham Zone 9 Trustee (Capital and Rideau- Vanier Wards) Leadership at schools in capital ward In last month’s OSCAR, I confirmed that Ken Blogg is continuing as principal at Hopewell Avenue School for the 2005-2006 school year. I’m also pleased to learn that Diane Hiscox is confirmed as school council chair at Hopewell for another year. I certainly look forward to working with both of them. Now I would like to extend a warm welcome to Walter Piovesan, the new principal at Glebe Collegiate. Walter’s most recent assignment was as Principal of Ridgemont High School in Alta Vista. He brings a wealth of experience in developing programs and services for students in both the academic and applied programs. Finally, the new Superintendent for all Capital Ward schools is Cathy Nevins. As a student, Cathy attended both Hopewell and Glebe, so I can say welcome back! Support for gulf coast school children Our school communities are assisting the victims of Hurricane Katrina in many ways: • there is a board-wide effort to provide learning materials for displaced children now registered in the Houston Independent School District; • various schools are working with the Ottawa Public Library to collect and send children’s books to the Gulf region; • other schools are fund-raising to make donations to the Red Cross or to send gift baskets to the victims; and, • as the result of the Ministry of Education waving tuition fees, some of the children of families affected by the hurricane have been Hopewell Grade 7 Orientation admitted to our schools. Thank you to everyone involved. On the first day of school, grade 7 and 8 students were escorted along Bank Street to visit local businesses that they are permitted to frequent. At various locations they were told the rules of behaviour and warned that misbehaving would not be tolerated. Grade 7 students with Louise Hall, Learning Support Teacher and Allison Woyiwada, Music Teacher. National school day run Thanks go as well to all the school communities that participated in the National School Run Day on September 16 to mark the 25 th anniversary of Terry Fox’s Marathon of Hope. Over 100 schools in the OCDSB held events on that day. Well done! Canada’s top schools Today’s Parent magazine and Maclean’s magazine have been collaborating as project partners in their identification of top schools across Canada, the former dealing with elementary and middle schools and the latter dealing with secondary schools. In order to determine a list of criteria for creating the best school experience, these magazines consulted with a panel of educational experts, including principals, guidance counselors, teachers and parents. The final choices were made from hundreds of nominations. Today’s Parent (September 2005) has cited both Mutchmor Public School and Glashan Public School as among the top 40 schools across Canada. Mutchmor was recognized in the “Rising to a Challenge” category and Glashan in the “Respectful Environment” category. Maclean’s (August 22, 2005 on the web) has named Colonel By Secondary School as one of Canada’s 40 top secondary schools for its strong academic program. Congratulations to all three OCDSB schools.
