SCC News Summer is almost here! As we prepare for a summer filled with holidays, activities, etc. the SCC would like to share with our school community a few ideas to promote learning in July and August.

1. Visit an Art Gallery 2. Encourage your child to volunteer with something in the

community. 3. Stay active – encourage your child to spend time outside this

summer. 4. Create summer reading lists with each other. 5. Visit a new Regional/Provincial/ National Park. 6. Cook together – maybe teach your child how to barbecue! 7. Attend an outdoor music or drama event in the community. 8. Sit down at the end of the day and watch the news on TV. Talk

about current events! 9. On a family trip in the car, put aside the cell phones, tablets,

etc. for a portion of the trip. Take time to talk to each other. 10. Watch an outdoor sporting event in a different city. See what

that experience looks and feels like from another perspective. Have a great summer everyone!

VOLUNTEER OPPORTUNITIES FOR GRADE 10 STUDENTS IN THE 19/20 SCHOOL YEAR In period 3 on Thursday, June 6 current Grade 9 students will attend an informative session about volunteer opportunities at the 2019 Western Canada Summer Games in August. The session will share with students the various volunteer opportunities that are available during the lead-up to the Games, the chances to help out during the Games and how they might be able to assist at the conclusion of the Games.

Why volunteer as a grade 10 student? 1. An integral component of citizenship is the act of volunteering. 2. Volunteering looks great on a resume. 3. In grade 10 Wellness, (compulsory class) students must

contribute twelve (12) hours of volunteer service in the 19/20 school year.

A part of the volunteer experience as students, a requirement for parents/guardians will be to sign off and be informed of their child’s desire to volunteer. Those papers will be coming home soon! Thank you students for helping to make the Games a success!
