Congratulations to the junior boys basketball team for a great season. They competed in exhibition games and a tournament in Stoughton this year. It was great to see basketball at GFK. Thanks to the coaches, Miss Scherle and Mr. Broccolo, for their time and expertise.
GFK and CES would like to invite the public to a FREE pancake breakfast on May 7th, 2015 to kick off our Pink Day at Gordon F. Kells school. We will be serving pancakes, sausages, coffee and juice from 8:00 am— 9:00 am. We would also like to also invite you to the Carlyle Memorial Hall at 7:30 p.m. where Dr. Eva Olsson will be giving a presentation to the community. Dr. Olsson, Holocaust survivor, uses the Holocaust and her experiences in it as a springboard to discuss the following key issues:
· The power of hate and the need to stop it when it occurs.
· The importance of not being a bystander when bad things are happening.
· The importance of having compassion and respect for self and others.
We are excited to have Joanne Neddow and our Grandma Angie in our school to offer a program based on First Nations’ traditions called Grandmother Medicine. This program is offered to one of the 7 & 8 classes as a pilot program teaching the seven core teachings that are the essence of most traditions of the world - respect, courage, honor, love, truth, wisdom, and forgiveness.
On March 25th and 26th a group of students will be taking part in the Red Cross “Beyond the Hurt” Respect Ed Program. These students will be taking on a leadership role in our school environment to promote anti-bullying ideals, and the “Respect, Responsibility, and Integrity Motto.”
