The school was able to purchase enough sets for a full class to use them at a time, which will provide health and fi tness benefi ts for the 449 Kindergarten to Grade 4 students. Snowshoeing provides a cardio workout for the students while also building strength, agility, balance and endurance in the beautiful outdoors at Quarry Park.

By Margaret Ward, superintendent and Tyler Moran, assistant superintendent The 2018 calendar year provided the Interlake School Division with plenty of opportunities to continue our pur- suit of preparing today’s learners for tomorrow. The time of transition be- tween the conclusion of ISD’s 2014- 2018 Strategic Plan in June and the rollout of the 2018-2022 Continuous Improvement Plan has allowed us to celebrate our successes, acknowledge our challenges, and prepare for the next steps we will take together as a school community. The voice of students, staff, and community has shaped our plan for continuous improvement. Year one focus areas of numeracy at Kindergar- ten – Grade 8 and wellness at Grades 9 – 12 provide a targeted approach to address the needs of our students. The early work in these focus areas features school plans with locally developed goals and strategies, pro- fessional development for teachers across grades and schools, and com- munity-based sessions for parents and interested members of the public. These efforts are carried out in pur- suit of a common purpose; providing high quality learning experiences for students. We are excited to tell the story of our schools at every turn.

And whisper in your ear; God took your hand, Is diffi cult to bear – And when old times we do recall, How much we love and miss you, We had to part. It seems so unbelievable It’s when we miss you most of all. And wish that you were here. To raise a child to love So cruel and so unfair. Breathe Easy. And I feel the wind pick up And then to tear apart; And now that December’s here -With love from your whole family And suddenly I know you’re telling me, Is the greatest sorrow It’s so hard to hide the pain, that misses you every day You miss me too. Of a parent’s heart. What it would mean to hear your voice Hug Dad for us -Love your family The moment you left us, And see your smile again. Our hearts broke in two; We know you fought to stay alive One side fi lled with memories, Your courage was there for all to see, The other side with you. It’s somehow hard to understand There will always be a heartache, Why certain things must be. And silent tears; But you will live on forever BOOK YOUR ANNOUNCEMENT TODAY A broken heart does not heal, In the hearts of those you touched, It remains forever shattered.
