TRANSCRIPT
I am hoping that the beautiful weather we
have had on late continues into March.
When it is this nice outside, it is easy to
believe that spring is just around the
corner! It sounds like many families took
advantage of the February break to spend
time together; many students were excited
telling others about their adventures away
from school for a week.
Thanks to the Redvers School Community
Council for purchasing the books for our
One School One Book Initiative. All readers
seem to be enjoying the BFG and I know
that some big friendly giants have enjoyed
visiting the K-6 classrooms to see who is still
reading along. I would also like to take this
opportunity to thank the SCC for bringing in
a guest speaker from the Saskatchewan
Lung Association to speak to students,
parents and community members about
vaping. The presentation was engaging and
informative and for many, eye opening
about the number of youth affected by
vaping. I would also like to thank Michelle
Jensen and the Redvers Public Library for
once again sponsoring and setting up a
wonderful presentation for Aboriginal
Month. Our K-grade 6 students loved this
session that focused on music and stories
told through songs. Thanks Redvers Public
Library for always bringing us such great
speakers!
The month of March brings about student
led conferences and report cards. K-12
student led conferences are being held on
March 11 and 12 from 3:45 p.m. – 7:00 p.m.
This is an opportunity to share your child’s
growth with either a homeroom/subject
teacher. If you are a parent of a grade 9-12
student this is also an opportunity to look at
credits required/earned for any post-
secondary aspiration. Once again, we are
using simplybookme.com to schedule
conference times. A letter was sent home
prior to February break with booking
details, however, if you are requiring
assistance please do not hesitate to call the
school office and request some assistance.
Report cards will follow student led
conferences at the end of the month.
Redvers School is excited to be hosting the
Region 1 Drama Festival on April 3 and 4 in
the school gymnasium. If you are
interested in seeing our students in their
theatrical element please make sure you
check the festival out! Thanks to all
students and staff who are volunteering
time and expertise to get this festival off
the ground. Look for posters announcing
plays and times towards the end of the
month.
I hope the next month brings us warm
weather and some grass peeking through
the snow. Please remember that there is
no school for students on March 13th &
March 16th.

Aborginal Storytellers at the
Redvers School
Every year, for the past 16 years, libraries in the
province of Saskatchewan celebrate Aboriginal
Story Telling Month, honouring the age old
tradition of the elders, of storytelling in the cold
winter months.
This year, Redvers Public Library Branch is
happy to bring Michele Amy, Dale McArthur,
and Pierre Tinant to our community.
Dale McArthur (known professionally as Dale
Mac) is an Indigenous songwriter and
Blues/Roots/Rock guitarist from the White Bear
First Nation and based in Regina, Sask. Dale’s
songs and lyrics are based around Canadiana
while promoting his style of music and positive
lifestyle. His songs were featured on TV, Media,
and radio.
Métis fiddler Michele Amy did not get to grow
up within the Métis culture. Her mother (Fran)
grew up as a ward of Catholic Children’s Aid
Society of Vancouver; her only personal
artifacts were a pair of tiny handmade
moccasins. Fran only discovered her heritage
as an adult, and by then, as with many Metis
people at the time, hiding her heritage was a
way of life. Michele has spent years researching
her maternal family history, both the Métis
history and culture as well as indigenous
cultures and how they weave in and out of the
Métis way, the Canadian story, and with her
own complex family history.
Michele is the creator of a fiddle educational
series, (Just Fiddling Around) as well as one of
Canada’s flagship fiddle camps ( The Kenosee
Lake Kitchen Party), and was short-listed for the
Lieutenant Governor’s Arts Leadership award.
Michele has traveled widely around the world,
performing, speaking and promoting Canadian
fiddle culture.
Michele is accompanied by long-time friend and
guitar player Pierre Tinant. Michele taught
Pierre’s son to play the fiddle, and as a result,
Pierre was forced to discover a love of fiddle
accompaniment. Freshly retired from teaching
at Ecole de Bellegarde, Pierre’s new journey has
freed him to once again become entangled with
Michele’s projects, thank goodness! He shares a
solid knowledge of the music and the traditions,
which are vital for any fiddler
We would like to thank Redvers School, Library
Services for Saskatchewan Aboriginal Peoples
and the many sponsors of this event. And most
of all we wish to thank Michele Amy, Dale
McArthur, and Pierre Tinant for a wonderful
story telling event.
At the beginning of February the
Elementary Drama Club, made up of
students from grade 5 and 6, performed
“Bedbugs”. The production “Bedbugs” has a
young girl, Marie, who enjoys jumping on
her bed. For Marie the jumping is fun and
harmless, for the bedbugs it is a disaster.
The bedbugs view Marie as a wicked witch
who is out to hurt them. In the end, Marie
learns that the bedbugs have a different
viewpoint from her and the two parties
peacefully come up with a solution to work
things out.
This year we had a great bunch of students
to work with. We appreciated their
commitment to every practice. This years
students were: Clara, Madison, Jayda,
Sarah, Presley, Nazryn, Asia, Eve, Ryan,
Krielle, Arianna, Ericka, Jeliel, Marissa,
Ainsley, Miley and Rhett.
Drama advisors were
Mrs. Cameron, Mrs. Dyck,
Mr. Kirk
On Friday February 14th, while the elemantary
kids enjoyed jump rope for heart, Jonathan,Tina
and Bentley enjoyed some jumping of their
own. Jonathan was very excited to help set up
the bouncy house.
