Administration’s Message<br />

With the Holiday Season just around the corner, I know that many of you are<br />

busy preparing for the festive season. The Christmas break will begin with an<br />

early dismissal on Friday, <strong>December</strong> 21, 2011 at 2:30 pm and classes will<br />

resume on Monday, January 7, 2013.<br />

We had a very successful term 1 reporting period. The student led<br />

conferences went extremely well. It was a real pleasure seeing our students<br />

sharing and demonstrating their learning over the course of the term with<br />

their care givers. We had 79% of our families attend the conferences.<br />

It appears the new provincial report card was well received. As you are<br />

aware, <strong>River</strong> <strong>East</strong> <strong>Transcona</strong> has implemented the new provincial report card<br />

for students in Grades 1 through 12 this fall. We hope you have had a<br />

moment to access the brochure created by Manitoba Education, which<br />

explains more about the new report card. We encourage you to go to the<br />

following website: http://www.edu.gov.mb.ca/k12/assess/report_cards/docs/pb_1-<br />

8.pdf<br />

Our K-5 Winter Concert is on <strong>December</strong> 13 th . I hope you take the time to join<br />

us. The staff and students have been working very hard in preparing for the<br />

concert. The students are very excited about having the opportunity to<br />

perform in front of family and friends. Also, on a musical note, Ms. Jensen<br />

has begun her leave and Ms. C. Jackson has taken over her teaching<br />

responsibilities.<br />

We are continuing to build our schools email distribution list for emailing the<br />

school newsletter to families. If we do not have your email address yet please<br />

call the school at 204-958-6532. The practice will be that we will have copies<br />

in the family room, the office and at the Plessis/Robson resource centre.<br />

Please take the time to browse through the newsletter. It will give you a pretty<br />

good flavor of what has been happening at Bernie Wolfe Community <strong>School</strong>.<br />

On behalf of the staff and students at Bernie Wolfe Community <strong>School</strong>, I<br />

would like to wish all of you a Joyous Holiday Season.<br />

Dino Busceti<br />

Three Inches Tall<br />

I am three inches tall I am so small.<br />

I can’t even measure myself against the wall.<br />

I can’t eat oranges because they are too big.<br />

I can’t even do the Irish jig.<br />

A jellybean would be a thousand year feast.<br />

And when it comes to food, I need the least.<br />

So let’s make it clear, there’s no need to fear,<br />

I am only three inches tall.<br />

Grade 7 Boys Volleyball Team<br />

This year's volleyball season for the Grade 7 boys began in early September<br />

and ended November 26th. Our team played in a series of mini-tournaments<br />

throughout the school division. In addition, they participated in<br />

two invitational tournaments and represented our school very well. As the<br />

season progressed, not only did our players develop fine volleyball skills but<br />

they displayed excellent sportsman-like qualities as well.<br />

On behalf of our team, we would like to thank all of the parents who<br />

supported our team throughout the season. It was greatly appreciated!<br />

I would like to encourage all of our players to continue to play volleyball<br />

in the near future. It was an absolute pleasure coaching this year's team and I wish them all the<br />

best!<br />

Sincerely,<br />

Ms. L. Vizza<br />

Coach<br />

Grade 7 Girls Volleyball Team<br />

The grade 7 girl’s volleyball team was a huge success this year. For some girls, this was the first time<br />

they had played competitive sports. Others were veterans who had played sports competitively for<br />

years. One thing they all had in common was none had ever played volleyball at this level before. It<br />

took a few practices before they understood the rotation, but after that, things went well.<br />

Between all of the mini-tournaments, our home tournament here at BWCS, and our tournament at<br />

John Gunn, I can say that all the girls had fun, and so did the coaches. We enjoyed watching the girls<br />

grow from a team that always bumped the ball over the net, to a team that could use three hits and<br />

even spike the ball. Congratulations grade 7 girls on a great year!!<br />

Mr. Hunter and Mr. Kozaczka


Grade 8 Girls Volleyball Team<br />

The grade 8 girl’s volleyball team had a very exciting and busy volleyball season. The<br />

grade 8 girls practiced two times a week; played one night a week with back to back<br />

games; and entered 4 tournaments. With every practice and game the girls skills<br />

continued to improve. The end result was an exciting last game of the season. The<br />

grade 8 girl’s volleyball team ended with a win and a very close second match. Great<br />

job girls!<br />

Mrs. Gydé and Mr. Loewen<br />

Grade 8 Boys Volleyball Team<br />

The grade 8 boy’s volleyball team had an outstanding volleyball season this year! There were<br />

countless highlights but the most memorable ones were the highlights of teamwork, sportsmanship<br />

and growth displayed from game to game and tournament to tournament!<br />

As coaches we coached and watched with pride as these gentlemen grew not only in their individual<br />

athletic abilities but their personal growth in character as well. As the season progressed we watched<br />

the bar rise a little more each week both individually as well as a collective team. Their placement in<br />

the tournaments they played complimented this growth, placing third in both tournaments.<br />

Personally, I would like to thank my assistant coach Ms. Dynkavitch for her commitment and<br />

dedication to the team and congratulate the following students for displaying the values of Bernie<br />

Wolfe Community <strong>School</strong> while home and away: setters; Isaiah, Tyler, Dawson, right side; Brian and<br />

Adrian, power; Miguel, John, Brandon, Dillon and Raeden, middle; Gray, Mason, Nieco, Andy,<br />

Jaspreet, managers; Logique, Bryson.<br />

Way to go gentlemen you were a pleasure to coach!<br />

Mr. Struch<br />

Coach


Library News<br />

The book fair was a huge success! Our library will receive dozens of new books, which all students<br />

will be able to enjoy. A grade one student won $25.00 towards books for herself and $25.00 for her<br />

classroom. We love seeing the excitement on the faces of students as they see the library transform<br />

into the book fair. Thank you to all that supported the fair!<br />

If you would like to help cover or shelve books, it would be greatly appreciated. Please see Mrs.<br />

We wish everyone a wonderful holiday season, and of course keep reading!<br />

PAC NEWS<br />

The Parent Council would like to start off by thanking Debbie Kutzan for all her hard work and dedication<br />

to Bernie Wolfe <strong>School</strong> and the P.A.C committee. As you all know, Debbie has resigned her position as the<br />

Community Connector from our school. She has helped us in many ways and the Parent Council would like<br />

to give a HUGE thanks for all her time and support. It is greatly appreciated!! We would like to welcome<br />

Allison Cole as our new Community Connector. Allison will still be involved in P.A.C. as our treasurer and we<br />

look forward to continue working together!!<br />

We would like to also thank all of our families/participants for supporting us in our fall fundraiser. We<br />

had over 100 orders placed and our profits were $550.00. This is a great way to start off the school<br />

year and it helps us provide Bernie Wolfe with fun school events such as Meet The Teacher BBQ & Family<br />

Fun Night.<br />

One quick reminder, Pizza Day is on Friday <strong>December</strong> 21, <strong>2012</strong>. This pizza lunch is in support of the Ski<br />

TPUE NEWS<br />

I am pleased to give you an update on the program since the beginning of the school year.<br />

We are very excited to have all positions filled on our board this year with energetic parents<br />

planning activities for the children enrolled in the Ukrainian bilingual program, and to offer<br />

support to the teachers as needed. Our goal is to make our childrens’ education of the<br />

Ukrainian language and culture a great memory they will have for years to come. We would<br />

like to remind all parents that you DO NOT need to come from a Ukrainian back-ground or<br />

even speak the language for your children to be part of the program. Kindergarten children have a great opportunity to<br />

test out the program as it is a great introduction for a very small part of their day, and it is still not too late for the <strong>2012</strong>-<br />

2013 school year to do so. If you have any questions please do not hesitate to contact Mrs. Melnyk our wonderful grade<br />

k-2 teacher at omelnyk@retsd.md.ca or by phone at the school. She begins creating the foundation of a great education<br />

in a very small class setting. Most children really enjoy the smaller group, which builds great friendships, and allows the<br />

teachers to work more one on one with children. Mr. Marynovskyy (grades 3-5) and Mr. Iwan (grades 6-8) continue with<br />

their education. Grade one enrollment is very much still encouraged. Mrs. Melnyk has also found children that begin in<br />

grade one, are successful and catch on quickly.<br />

Currently we are busy planning our St. Nicholas celebration. We are expecting his visit on <strong>December</strong> 19 th at 12:30 p.m.,<br />

we are planning a perogy lunch and the children will perform for him in the theatre. We are inviting some of the younger<br />

children in the school to enjoy St. Nicholas’ visit with us and to enjoy the performance. We would like to extend our<br />

invitation to all families in the Bernie Wolfe Community who are interested in our celebration to come and experience<br />

what St. Nicholas is all about, and it is always nice to encourage the kids with our support no matter what ethnic back<br />

ground you are proudly a part of, we are part of a community. I look forward to updating you in the New Year. If you<br />

have any questions please feel free to contact the school or myself @ kcdcmartin@gmail.com Cathy Martin Vice<br />

chairperson and mother of two children very happily learning Ukrainian!
