February News

February brought us some sunshine and warmer temperatures.  This was a welcomed change as we got to get outside more often.  We enjoyed some cross country skiing and snowshoeing around our playground and on field trips to the Boreal Centre.  It was a lot of fun and some excellent exercise. This month also brought some intense competition within robotics and archery. We had our EGW Robotics Teams compete against one another which had two teams advance to the divisional competition on March 11th.  We had archers from Jousard and HPE attend the archery competition here at EGW. After some great shooting EGW came out victorious. They will be competing at the Falcon open for their next competition.  Good luck Eagles!!!

The month of February also had some artistic opportunities.  Our student leadership team challenged each class to get creative with infusing art into all learning opportunities.  The challenge was met by our students and teachers with many unique lessons and art displays. During the month we recognized pink shirt day and random acts of kindness week.  Here at EGW we value kindness all year round, but this week gave us some exciting incentive to complete some acts of kindness to our friends and family. 

Remember to follow us on facebook for updates and pictures of all the great things that happen here at EGW School.
