This has been a
busy week at IHMS!
Our girls’ and
boys’ basketball teams participated in the annual RNC Tournament at St.
Gerard’s. Both teams played very well.
The junior high
girls’ basketball team played Stephenville Intermediate on Tuesday afternoon.
Makenzy Bishop was the top scorer in the game with 10 points.
The elementary
cross country skiing program had their last lesson this week on Tuesday. It was
a great program. The students would like to thank Blow Me Down Ski Club for
offering this program again this year.
On Wednesday we
stood up to bullying by wearing pink shirts for National Pink Shirt Day. In the
evening we held our second Scholastic Book Fair. In conjunction with this event
we held a family Literacy Night. There
were lots of fun activities for kids and parents to do together. We had
computer games, antonym matching, word puzzles, book mark and mini book making
stations. We would like to thank Mrs. George and her many helpers for preparing
and running the Scholastic Book Fair.
On Thursday
night we hosted the annual Winter Carnival Spelling Bee. This event featured
students in grades 4, 5, and 6 in the City of Corner Brook. Representing our
school in grade four were Natalie Parsons and Caleb Rashleigh; in grade five,
Alessandra LeBlanc and Colin Spencer; and in grade six, Isaac Buckingham and
Aaron White. We would like to thank Ms. Park and Mrs. McCarthy for organizing
the event. Special thank to our judges Ms. Sandee Harnum from the Corner Brook
Public Library and Mr. Jonathan Turner from K-Rock and Steel Communications.
On Thursday and
Friday of this week, level two students, Arista White and Emily O’Bryan,
attended a suicide intervention workshop at Corner Brook City Hall as part of
National Non-Violence Month.
This weekend
grade four French Immersion student, Isabelle Mercier, and grade six student,
Isaac Buckingham, will compete in the Telegram Scripps Spelling Bee in St.
John’s. The winner of the St. John’s spelling bee will attend the National
Spelling Bee this spring in the United States. We would like to wish both
students the best of luck.
