Longview School - Valentines and Winter Carnival

Longview students celebrated Valentine's Day a big way by wearing pink, red and white. Everyone exchanged Valentine's Day cards and brought treats like cupcakes and heart shaped cookies to share. The whole school gathered in the gym for a Wii Just Dance Party. Students, staff and parents had a great time dancing, singing and laughing.
We had a very full program for Talent, Show and Share last Friday. We had students sing, dance, play instruments, tell jokes, do magic tricks and demonstrate different athletic abilities. It was a great afternoon of entertainment and we really appreciate the attention and effort students dedicate to their special skills and talents. The Grade 1 /2 class had a great deal of fun on February 15th in celebrating the one hundredth day of school. Students were spotted lining the hallway with one hundred feet they had cut from paper.
Basketball season is well underway and the Grade 5 / 6 class have participated in tournaments at home, Turner Valley School and upcoming at Ecole Percy Pegler on March 2nd. The team would like to send out a big thank you to Michelle Nelson for helping coach the team and Mr. Musgrove their teacher.
Longview Students are very proud of their school. They take pride in being an eagle and proudly wear the school colours of blue and gold. Our students are great role models and do an excellent job representing themselves and our school.
Students, staff and parents had a wonderful time at our annual Winter Carnival held on Friday, February 17th. We thought we might have to celebrate winter minus the snow because of the unusually warm weather we have had lately. But luckily, just a couple of days before the big event, we received a significant snowfall which put smiles on everyone's faces. Students participated in fox and duck tag games, treasure hunts for coloured ice blocks buried in the snow, building and decorating giant snow castles, ball hockey and curling activities. At the end of the day, everyone gathered around with rosy cheeks and cold toes to have a cup of hot chocolate and a couple of biscuits. A big thank you is extended to Mr. Musgrove, from all of the students, in organizing such a fun day.
