Linden Meadows News
September 2016
Administratorrsquos Message
Welcome to our new and returning families What a busy and exciting start to our school year CTV
news was on-site early on Wednesday to talk with staff and students about the upcoming year Our
UNESCO ambassadors Ahmed and Lily and our patrols represented our school beautifully as they
talked about welcoming newcomer students creating a culture of peace and school safety Many
thanks to both Mrs Eby Mrs Babiuk and Mrs Loepp for also being part of this exciting opportunity
for our school
We celebrate the connections to our UNESCO work this year with the creation of a mural painted by
local artist Natasha Lowenthal The mural of our Linden Tree is outside the front office and repre-
sents our four pillars Learning to Know Learning to Do Learning to Be and Learning to Live To-
gether Over the course of the school year students will connect their learning in school with respect
to intercultural learning education for sustainable development and human rights education with
each of these four pillars and the overall goal of working together to build a culture of peace
We invite all of our Linden Meadows families to our Meet the Teacher event on September 14 at
530 pm This is a social ldquomeet and greetrdquo event and this is the second year that we will host a
barbeque for all of our Linden Meadows families It is a time to come and meet your childrsquos teachers
reconnect with members of the community meet new families and see the school It is not a time to
get into deeper conversations about your children We invite parents to contact teachers individually
after Meet the Teacher if there is more information that you would like to share about your child
There is no cost for the barbeque The food for this event has been graciously donated by the Pater-
son Family and Grannyrsquos Poultry
Linden Meadows welcomes several new staff members this year Mrs Eliuk is in the office as our
new administrative assistant Mr Nepon is in the gym Mr Giesbrecht is in grades 56 Ms Garside
is in grade 5 Mrs Becker has joined the EAL team Ms Nilmalgoda is in grades 7 and 8 and Mr
Weavely in his role as an educational assistant We welcome back Mrs Reder who is working with
Mrs D Jordan this year
Over the summer Linden Meadows engaged in various upgrades to our buildings and grounds We
had a new PA system installed throughout the school new flooring in the Music Band and one new
classroom walls were painted and we added one additional bottle-filler water fountain beside the MY
entrance and exit doors We are also very appreciative of the new playground areas developed by
our parent advisory council group and the addition of a butterfly garden
As we said goodbye to students over the past few days I was so pleased to hear the refrain ldquoBest
Day Everrdquo to my question ldquoHow was your dayrdquo It is very fulfilling to hear the excitement in the
childrenrsquos voices and see their smiles as they talk about their teachers what they are learning and
reconnecting with old friends and the making of new ones
We look forward to another fabulous year at Linden Meadows
Sincerely
Teresa Rogers Andrea Loepp

VOLUNTEERS
We very much value parent volunteers and recognize the support and possibilities
that parents bring to us in our planning Please contact your childrsquos teacher if you
are interested in helping in this regard whether it be driving on an excursion help-
ing with a special event or ldquoprepping materials (Only a few of the ways our parent
community helps us) At LM all volunteers are required to report to the office to
sign in and receive a visitor lanyard to wear for their time in the school Parents or
others who volunteer regularly are required to complete Child Abuse Registry
Forms These forms are available from our office and take approximately six to eight
weeks to be returned to us from the province Please access one of these forms in
the next week if you do plan to volunteer this year and you have not previously
filled one out
Parent Council News
The first parent council meeting of the school year will be held on
Wednesday September 14th after the BBQ at approximately

come

Bus Loop amp Service Road
As parents utilize the service road across the street when picking up their children we ask that vehicles take care
not to block the driveways of our neighbours Please park so that homeowners have full access to their
homes at all times of the day Please remember the speed limit along this road is only 30 kmhr
Also as the weather changes we ask that you review both the general ldquorules of the roadrdquo and a few specific ones
One of these specific rules is that pedestrians no matter how convenient cannot walk across the bus loop at
the beginning or the end of the day Another one we highlight is that we ask that cars only stop on the right
hand side of the bus loop There is no ability to pick up your child in the bus loop unless your car is pulled up to the
right hand curb side
Parents are asked to NOT get out of their cars as this blocks other parents moving through the loop Please ask
one of the adults outside to assist you if they donrsquot immediately
Music Notes

will be continuing with having a grade 2 choir in the timetable this year which is so great Those

Band News
Hello everybody Welcome to a new year of music making I am very excited to be working with your
children
The Band Room is looking great this year with a brand new carpet and shelving installed over the
summer Please drop by and have a look when you are at the school
By now everyone in Band should have an instrument and all related equipment I have asked stu-
dents to keep flutes and clarinets in their lockers All other instruments must be stored in the Band
room during the day and should be clearly labeled with your childrsquos name on the outside of the case
It is expected that all students will take instruments home at night as daily practice (even if it is only a
few minutes) is essential to their progress
We will be running a Jazz Band two mornings a week beginning the week of September 19 for all in-
terested grade 7 and 8 students from 800 am until 840 There is a sign-up sheet outside the Band
room
Band Camp this year takes place on November 7 and 8 I will send more details on this exciting op-
portunity soon
Concert dates for Band are Wednesday January 25 and June 7 The grade 8 Band will participate in
the Optimist Band festival again this year during the week of February 21-24 and grade 7rsquos will par-
ticipate in the Level One Band Festival during the week of April 25-28 Please make a note of these

DELANEY Delaney is a grade 10 student at St Boniface Diocesan High
School She was born with Gorlin syndrome which is a genet-
ic condition that can affect many areas of the body and is
known by many other names with the next most common be-
ing Basal Cell Carcinoma syndrome (BCCNS)
Gorlin syndrome can increase the risk of developing various
cancerous and non-cancerous tumors as well as affecting oth-
er areas of the body Delaney had 17 jaw tumors removed
when she was 12 and 120 plus basal cell skin cancer spots re-
moved when she was 13 both related to Gorlin syndrome
Delaney was also born with scoliosis which is a spinal curva-
ture but it never slowed her down She danced played soccer
volleyball rode her bike and loved working with animals In the
summer of 2014 she began to have progressively increasing
difficulty in walking because of the scoliosis
She had surgery on Nov 10 2014 that was to help with this situation and was given a 75
success rate a 20 chance that things would remain the same and a 5 chance of things get-
ting worse Unfortunately the worst scenario happened and as a result of the operation she be-
came paralyzed from the mid chest down Delaney remained in Childrenrsquos Hospital for 9 months
Throughout all of this Delaney always remained positive with a happy spirit and a remarkable
attitude that she was going to make the best of it
Delaney loves all animals especially her very special cat ldquoColardquo She also loves to read and
watch TV
It was an honor to meet this young lady What an inspiration It will be our extreme privi-
lege to give this very brave girl a specialized wheelchair in June 2017

DELANEY Delaney is a grade 10 student at St Boniface Diocesan High
School She was born with Gorlin syndrome which is a genet-
ic condition that can affect many areas of the body and is
known by many other names with the next most common be-
ing Basal Cell Carcinoma syndrome (BCCNS)
Gorlin syndrome can increase the risk of developing various
cancerous and non-cancerous tumors as well as affecting oth-
er areas of the body Delaney had 17 jaw tumors removed
when she was 12 and 120 plus basal cell skin cancer spots re-
moved when she was 13 both related to Gorlin syndrome
Delaney was also born with scoliosis which is a spinal curva-
ture but it never slowed her down She danced played soccer
volleyball rode her bike and loved working with animals In the
summer of 2014 she began to have progressively increasing
difficulty in walking because of the scoliosis
She had surgery on Nov 10 2014 that was to help with this situation and was given a 75
success rate a 20 chance that things would remain the same and a 5 chance of things get-
ting worse Unfortunately the worst scenario happened and as a result of the operation she be-
came paralyzed from the mid chest down Delaney remained in Childrenrsquos Hospital for 9 months
Throughout all of this Delaney always remained positive with a happy spirit and a remarkable
attitude that she was going to make the best of it
Delaney loves all animals especially her very special cat ldquoColardquo She also loves to read and
watch TV
It was an honor to meet this young lady What an inspiration It will be our extreme privi-
lege to give this very brave girl a specialized wheelchair in June 2017

VOLUNTEERS
We very much value parent volunteers and recognize the support and possibilities
that parents bring to us in our planning Please contact your childrsquos teacher if you
are interested in helping in this regard whether it be driving on an excursion help-
ing with a special event or ldquoprepping materials (Only a few of the ways our parent
community helps us) At LM all volunteers are required to report to the office to
sign in and receive a visitor lanyard to wear for their time in the school Parents or
others who volunteer regularly are required to complete Child Abuse Registry
Forms These forms are available from our office and take approximately six to eight
weeks to be returned to us from the province Please access one of these forms in
the next week if you do plan to volunteer this year and you have not previously
filled one out

Bus Loop amp Service Road
As parents utilize the service road across the street when picking up their children we ask that vehicles take care
not to block the driveways of our neighbours Please park so that homeowners have full access to their
homes at all times of the day Please remember the speed limit along this road is only 30 kmhr
Also as the weather changes we ask that you review both the general ldquorules of the roadrdquo and a few specific ones
One of these specific rules is that pedestrians no matter how convenient cannot walk across the bus loop at
the beginning or the end of the day Another one we highlight is that we ask that cars only stop on the right
hand side of the bus loop There is no ability to pick up your child in the bus loop unless your car is pulled up to the
right hand curb side
Parents are asked to NOT get out of their cars as this blocks other parents moving through the loop Please ask
one of the adults outside to assist you if they donrsquot immediately
Music Notes

Band News
Hello everybody Welcome to a new year of music making I am very excited to be working with your
children
The Band Room is looking great this year with a brand new carpet and shelving installed over the
summer Please drop by and have a look when you are at the school
By now everyone in Band should have an instrument and all related equipment I have asked stu-
dents to keep flutes and clarinets in their lockers All other instruments must be stored in the Band
room during the day and should be clearly labeled with your childrsquos name on the outside of the case
It is expected that all students will take instruments home at night as daily practice (even if it is only a
few minutes) is essential to their progress
We will be running a Jazz Band two mornings a week beginning the week of September 19 for all in-
terested grade 7 and 8 students from 800 am until 840 There is a sign-up sheet outside the Band
room
Band Camp this year takes place on November 7 and 8 I will send more details on this exciting op-
portunity soon
Concert dates for Band are Wednesday January 25 and June 7 The grade 8 Band will participate in
the Optimist Band festival again this year during the week of February 21-24 and grade 7rsquos will par-
ticipate in the Level One Band Festival during the week of April 25-28 Please make a note of these
dates on your calendar

DELANEY Delaney is a grade 10 student at St Boniface Diocesan High
School She was born with Gorlin syndrome which is a genet-
ic condition that can affect many areas of the body and is
known by many other names with the next most common be-
ing Basal Cell Carcinoma syndrome (BCCNS)
Gorlin syndrome can increase the risk of developing various
cancerous and non-cancerous tumors as well as affecting oth-
er areas of the body Delaney had 17 jaw tumors removed
when she was 12 and 120 plus basal cell skin cancer spots re-
moved when she was 13 both related to Gorlin syndrome
Delaney was also born with scoliosis which is a spinal curva-
ture but it never slowed her down She danced played soccer
volleyball rode her bike and loved working with animals In the
summer of 2014 she began to have progressively increasing
difficulty in walking because of the scoliosis
She had surgery on Nov 10 2014 that was to help with this situation and was given a 75
success rate a 20 chance that things would remain the same and a 5 chance of things get-
ting worse Unfortunately the worst scenario happened and as a result of the operation she be-
came paralyzed from the mid chest down Delaney remained in Childrenrsquos Hospital for 9 months
Throughout all of this Delaney always remained positive with a happy spirit and a remarkable
attitude that she was going to make the best of it
Delaney loves all animals especially her very special cat ldquoColardquo She also loves to read and
watch TV
It was an honor to meet this young lady What an inspiration It will be our extreme privi-
lege to give this very brave girl a specialized wheelchair in June 2017
