Today’s Date: Tuesday, June 1, 2021
Welcome to Joyful June: Even on difficult days,
there are still things to be grateful for. And by noticing more of the
good things, we can train our brains to be more resilient. So this month we're
encouraging everyone to find and share the little joys in life.
Joyful June tip: Decide to look for the good in
every day this month.
Today
is red shirt day in support of Disability Awareness. Thank you to Mrs.
McGrath for organizing the activities this week and to staff and students for
supporting this important cause. Please do not forget about the
presentation today during period 2 and Mrs. McGrath has sent all of this
information to teachers. Each class has received ballets
with scrambled sentences. Rearrange the words to make a sentence, add your name
to the ballet and submit to the office. On Friday morning there will be draw
for prizes.
Tomorrow is our first June Wellness Day!
Don’t forget to wear everything tie-dye to earn those class points! Also,
to staff members who indicated they could bring a washer-toss set, we are
counting on you! Please place them in the library, in a pile between the
two doors as we will be using all sets!
A
reminder for the classes participating in the Wellness Walk tomorrow that you
require a signed permission slip in order to participate. Homeroom
teachers- please send these home today!
Reminder when you arrive on your bike to school it needs to be
parked. It is not the time to be driving around and popping wheelies.
Friday, June the 4th, HMMS staff and students are encouraged to wear
an Orange shirt in support of Indigenous Peoples across Canada. Teachers- there was an email sent
last evening with more information regarding this Friday and orange shirt day.
With the end of the school year fast approaching, it is time to
think about our celebration of the contributions and achievements of our
students here at Harry Miller Middle School. One of our most prestigious awards
is the “Citizenship Award” which is named in honour of Harry Miller, a former
Chief of Police, who was a longstanding and well-respected resident of
Rothesay, known for the many acts of kindness and volunteer hours he gave to
make our community what it is today. This award recognizes the outstanding
contributions that a grade 8 student has made by volunteering in their school and
community; showing initiative in their work, attitude, and behavior; and is
well respected by both students and staff.
To be considered for the Citizenship Award you must apply to the
Awards Committee in writing, indicating your involvement in volunteer work both
in and out of school. This volunteer service cannot have been undertaken as a
requirement of a specific program or for which you were remunerated or paid.
We would also ask that you enclose your curriculum vitae, which
includes the name of three references who are aware of your volunteer service
but are not family members.
Please have your application submitted to the office or by
emailing Mme Bates at cindy.bates@nbed.nb.ca by Friday, June 11th, 2021. If you
require further information, please feel free to contact Mme Bates or the
school office, at 849-5515.
