Longview School - Let Your Learning Soar

(Page 16)

Our DARE (Drug Abuse Resistance Education) Grad was held on February 4th at 9:00am for our Grade 5/6 students and their parents. Our special guests included Constable Karmen DeGroot, Doug Longson (MD Foothills Div 2 Councillor) and Laurie McCreary-Burke (Executive Director of Dare Foothills). The highlight of the grad was when students shared and presented their DARE projects to the audience and made their personal pledges. Student accomplishments were acknowledged by presentations made by Mrs. Roberts, Constable DeGroot and Ms. McCreary-Burke. Students were awarded a certificate and a medal for the completion of this very important program. A small reception of cake and beverages followed the ceremony, as well as, photographs of the graduating class and individual students were taken with Constable DeGroot dressed in her red serge. In an effort to include all of our Longview Students in recognizing this important accomplishment and in the spirit of our Eagle Pride, we had the Grade 5/6 students speak about choices and influences of both good and bad peer pressure to the rest of the students at Longview School during Eagle Pride Time. After the Grade 5/6 presentations, all students celebrated with a sock hop and learning dance moves from Mr. Musgrove. The students would like to send a big thank you to both Constable DeGroot and Constable Woods for teaching them the DARE program. DARE graduates include: Roesha Cecil, Chloe Dixon, Jordanna Dixon, Georgia Edey, Josie Hughes, Willow McDonald, Ashley Nelson, Dawson Nelson, Jade Nelson, Kiara Rider, Hope Roberts, Kourtney Berard, Brendon Coyle, Sheldon Coyle, Tuff Dixon, Liam Jantzen, Brodie Meston, Dayna Mikkelsen.
Monday Intra-murals, Club Tuesdays, Multimedia Wednesdays, Jour-naling Thursdays and Pizza with the Principal are all going very well and the students are really enjoying the variety of extracurricular activities happening at the school.
Our Eagles Basketball team has been practicing hard with the coaching skills of Mr. Musgrove and Ms. Nelson. The team has played both Millarville and Turner Valley teams in a number of tournaments over the past few weeks.
