ASSEMBLY
The theme this month is truth, trust & honesty. This week we had a "surprise" drama performance from Evergreen Theatre called "Jurassic Bark". The students were so engaged in the performance and 12 lucky grade 4 students got to be a part of the performance.
Here is a summary of the story: Rex is a stray dog who has a hard time sharing his things. Polly is a paleontologist who spends her time digging in the dirt. When these two strangers come across a huge, mysterious bone deep in the ground, will they be able to work together to discover where it came from? Or will Rex bury the evidence before they can even begin? Set in Alberta’s world-famous Badlands, this dino-sized adventure explores our relationship to the creatures who came before us, and what we can learn from playing in the dirt.

The School Council is happy to be running a Wilhauk Beef Jerky Fundraiser! Sales start now and run until May 8. We are selling Wilhauk Beef Jerky for $20 and

family. Then you can simply make one
order on PowerSchool.
The money raised will go towards repairing and upgrading AV equipment! Click Here for the Customer Record Sheet (A copy will also be sent home tomorrow.)

All RBES students participate in Bike Safety May 15-18.
Permission Forms must be completed on PowerSchool by May 12, 2017
Beginning Monday, May 15 our yearly Bike Safety Week kicks off during regular daily physical education classes. Students will be participating in activities designed to promote the learning of the rules of the road and developing safe riding habits.
As culminating event the school will be setting up a “Bike Rodeo” at the Dale Fisher Arena on May 18 to give the students a fun way of demonstrating their safe and effective riding skills.
There are extra bicycles and helmets available to borrow from the school if needed. Students who regularly commute to and from school using their bikes are encouraged to continue using the outdoor bike racks; those bringing in their bikes solely for the PE classes will be able to park their bikes within the school gym in areas designated for their grade levels.
Safety First May 10 and May 12
Prior to the students getting on their bikes, we have help from Alberta Health and the Devon Bike Association:
Wednesday, May 10 – A Public Health Nurse will be here to do presentations about why we need to wear a helmet.
Friday, May 12 – The President of the Devon Bike Association (DBA) is going to do a short presentation at the assembly focusing on bike safety. Mr. Hutchings is a retired RCMP officer and avid cyclist who has organized many large cycling events locally and provincially. After the assembly, other members of the DBA are going check our student’s helmets for proper fit. Please send your child’s helmet with them to school Friday, May 10.
More swimming details coming very soon. Due to fundraising initiatives, lessons will cost around $26. Students will be leveled according to their ability. As soon as final times and rates are confirmed, information and permission forms will be up on Power School later this week!
