Exciting News at Longview School
It is absolutely wonderful that Ms. England will be returning to Longview School as the grade 1/2 teacher. Ms. England won the 2009 Governor General's Award for Excellence in Teaching Canadian History for the Longview School Branding Project. One of its lasting legacies was the brands and brand histories that were gathered from families in the area and that are on display at Longview School. This project was completed by Mrs. England's Grade One class in 2007. This group of students is now in grade six and entering their last year at Longview School.
We are very fortunate and happy to announce that Ms. Amanda Hoyle will be joining Longview School staff as the Grade 3 / 4 Teacher. Ms. Hoyle will also be our French Teacher for grades 3 to 6 and music teacher for grades 1 to 4. Ms. Hoyle brings to our school many years of experience and training in the area of dance and musical theatre. We will be using her expertise in these areas to enrich our amazing fine arts program, our club activities and our dramatic and musical productions.
We are overjoyed that Ms. Thomson will continue to offer her expertise in early literacy as Longview School's Kindergarten Teacher. We have such an amazing kindergarten program that Ms. Thomson has nurtured and built over the past few years. Kindergarten will continue to be offered full days every Tuesday and Thursday and designated Fridays throughout the school year.
Mr. Chet Musgrove will continue to be our Grade 5 / 6 Teacher and Physical Education Teacher for all students Grades 1 to 6. Mr. Musgrove will be the head of our Physical Education program, coach of our sports teams and coordinator of our outdoor education activities. Mr. Musgrove will again operate a multi-aged intramural program during lunch times on MONDAYS and has added a sport skills program on FRIDAYS for our senior students.
We are also very excited to welcome back our most amazing librarian, Mrs. Dyck. She will continue to offer a library helpers program, organize our literacy week activities and support our soaring literacy program. She makes our library a special and exciting learning centre for all the students and staff of Longview School.
Longview School is a great school! The support we receive from our parents and the community is outstanding! This support helps nurture the growth of our students in their learning. We are looking forward to all the great things planned for this year! See you all on the first day of school, Thursday, September 1st for a continental breakfast and welcome back assembly.
