Get Moving Get Outside Initiative  

Our school has modified our bell schedule to include two-20 minute physical activity breaks during the school day.  We have invested in outdoor equipment to offer diverse opportunities for students to engage in. Tossing a football, playing frisbee, building structures, playing soccer, playing basketball, playing catch, balancing on a slackline, relaxing in the fresh air are some the activities students can choose to engage in.   We have been outside all by 3.5 days since September!

The Festive Dragon Holiday Market

On Wednesday December 18th, 2024, Mr. Jack Kirby (Madame Michaud’s class bearded dragon pet) hosted a Festive Market to kick off the holiday season. Students of three classes became young entrepreneurs and divided into groups based on interests to prepare business plans and present it to investors. Mme Michaud and Mr. Fletcher’s school funds invested to make these concepts a reality. Students worked very hard in class and sometimes during their activity period to make everything and get it ready for today. Students learned a diverse array of skills like soap making, felting, finger knitting, crochet, woodwork, candle making, baking, origami, graphic design, the importance of bilingual signage, language arts, teamwork, negotiating, and the intricate workings of owning a business. Students are now going to do some accounting work to reimburse their investors and some reflection on how things went. They can now reap the rewards of work well done during a well-deserved class celebration and decide where they go next with their profits. Will some be reinvested? What community building class activity will they choose to do? Only time will tell… Ce n’est pas fini, ce n’est qu’un début.

Free Christmas Dinner Tradition Carries On!

In 2004, EWG Middle School decided to apply to own its cafeteria, sharing the profits within the school and ensuring its students had a healthy meal. Today, 20 years later, the cafeteria is still running strong, thanks to the commitment of Maureen Jones (Manager) and her staff, Tish Johnson and Barb Hudson.

It was Maureen’s vision to be able to provide a “Free” turkey dinner to the students and so the first and what would become, an annual event took place.

Maureen knew that many students might not have the opportunity to enjoy a traditional turkey dinner over Christmas and with some help from her “elves,” the tradition has continued.

This year marked the 19th anniversary of the event, only missing one year in the past 20, with many sponsors and volunteers to thank. This would not be possible without the support from the community, business, and the EWG Food Services Board of Directors.

As we close 2024’ we would like to wish Maureen a happy retirement and promise to keep her tradition going and we want to thank the Cartier Coop, Foodland, Moncton Area Milk Producers, Advance Savings and Branch Manager, Donna Jones, along with Southeastern Mutual and all our dedicated volunteers.

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!
