NEWS FROM THE DESK OF LEANA KENNEDY
Congratulations to Mrs. Melody Martin-Googoo for receiving the Excellence in Teaching Award!!!
!
Grade 7 Math - We have recently finished the unit on adding and subtracting integers. We are moving
into multiplying and dividing integers, order of operations, graphing and equations. Mrs. Boudreau
offers extra help on Mondays after school!!!
Grade 7 ELA - We are working on Peace, Gratitude and Compassion journals for Ms. Gillis. The
students have decorated the covers and will be recording entries on these topics and drawing pictures.
We have some very talented artists!!!
Grade 7 SOCIAL STUDIES - We are studying about Louis Riel and the Red River Settlement.
Grade 7 HEALTHY LIVING - We are working on a Social Network project in groups. Students will have
some class time to work on their projects but please encourage them to work on their part of the project
at homework club or at home.
Grade 7 Science - We are learning about weather and students are writing a fun interesting story about
getting caught in the middle of a weird weather phenomena. They are very creative and funny!
Grade 8-2/8-3 ELA - We are reading “The Outsides” in class this term. The students seem very interested
in this novel and the characters.
Grade 8-1/8-5 ELA - We are finishing up Anne Frank assignments and moving into poetry.
I would like to encourage all of our students to attend Homework Club as often as they can! Several
students have been arriving with very little or no homework to play computer games or hang out. We
love that a large number of students are attending; however, students with school work will have priority
on the computers and all students are encouraged to bring a book or something they can work on
quietly when their work is complete. We want to reduce distraction for those students still working or
needing extra help. Please do not hesitate to contact me if you have any questions or concerns at
896-5550 ext. 232.

NEWS FROM THE DESK OF TOM WILSON
Parents please check to make sure your child has a calculator.
Parents should be aware that most grade 8 and 9 students have Math homework most days.
Well SPRING has finally SPRUNG!!! Students should be reminded that even though there are only 2
months of school left, that they are the MOST IMPORTANT 2 months for the few students that are “just
passing” or failing a subject.
Over the past 20 years I have seen HUNDREDS of students work really hard in May and June. This extra
effort had a great impact on how well they met their 3rd Term Learning Outcomes and their final mark
for the year. Most important of all it made a Hugh, Positive Impression on their teachers and in most
cases resulted in the student being promoted to the next grade.
Warning from Mr. Wilson: STUDENTS - DON’T CATCH SPRING FEVER!!! Attendance is crucial during
MAY and JUNE.
If there are any students, I can think of one or two, who missed a “few” classes and would like to get a
copy of the notes they missed, they need to come see me as soon as possible.
THERE ARE NO GRADE 9 EXAMS THIS YEAR.

Millbrook's Young Citizens Take Action!
You may have heard a gentle knock at your door this past week when two young students decided to
take the initiative and collect monetary donations to support our local SPCA. Millbrook's young
citizens Tehya Milliea and Alyssa Saulnier are two very caring students who recently decided to not
only collect donations at their school but to take their class' fund-raising further by walking their
neighborhood in support of this worthy cause. The two set out with their collection bucket in hand and
collected $27 from the generous community members. The Grade 3 class of Truro Elementary School
very much appreciates the extra support from the community and the extra effort from their classmates.

In Memory of My Sisters & Mother
Linda who passed away on May 26th, 2010, Sandra who passed away on May 19th, 1998, Angeline
who passed away on May 1st, 2013, Laverne Julien who passed away on May 7th, 1980 and my
dearest Mother on April 15, 1998.
!
Not a day goes by that I don't think of you. I remember Mom saying May is the mothers month and so
it was so fitting you all left this world on that month. I can still picture you all and the memories I have
will never be forgotten. I was always called the "Sookie Baby" by you guys and teased me constantly.
Mom use to say you are teased so much because you are so loved.
Angie-baby, I think of you and the shopping you did, your devotion to Ste. Ann and the love of praying.
Sandra, I think of you and think of bingo, lottery tickets and VLTS. Love and concern for others and
how you were surrounded by Angels.
Linda, I think of you and remember the good times of karaoking, dancing especially to the Relatives
and your Bud. How you used to tell me about your love for your children.
Laverne, When i think of you, I think of rabbit stew, basket making and your love for your boys.
Mom, I think of you and how you instill in your children and a strong faith, devotion to St. Ann and
love for your family especially your grandchildren. Your door was always open to friends and strangers
alike, how you would listen to anyone who wanted to talk.
!
Yes, I remember you all and know you are all watching over us from above and I am happy to have
some wonderful memories.

Love Always,

"The day will come when my body will lie upon a white sheet neatly tucked under four corners of a
mattress located in a hospital; busily occupied with the living and the dying. At a certain moment a
doctor will determine that my brain has ceased to function and that, for all intents and purposes, my
life has stopped.
When that happens, do not attempt to instill artificial life into my body by the use of a machine. And
don’t call this my deathbed. Let it be called the bed of life, and let my body be taken from it to help
others lead fuller lives.
Give my sight to the man who has never seen a sunrise, a baby’s face or love in the eyes of a woman.
Give my heart to a person whose own heart has caused nothing but endless days of pain.
Give my blood to the teenager who was pulled from the wreckage of his car, so that he might live to
see his grandchildren play.
Give my kidneys to the one who depends on a machine to exist from week to week.
Take my bones, every muscle, every fiber and nerve in my body and find a way to make a crippled
child walk. Explore every corner of my brain.
Take my cells, if necessary, and let them grow so that, someday a speechless boy will shout at the crack
of a bat and a deaf girl will hear the sound of rain against her window.
Burn what is left of me and scatter the ashes to the winds to help the flowers grow.
If you must bury something, let it be my faults, my weakness and all prejudice against my fellow man.
Give my sins to the devil.
Give my soul to God.
If, by chance, you wish to remember me, do it with a kind deed or word to someone who needs you. If
you do all I have asked, I will live forever.”

Medicine Trail Clean up
The 4th Annual Spring clean up of the Millbrook’s Medicine trail and brook was a success. Led by
Joanne Cope, sponsored by the Wellness Program, started by a group of students as an social
experiment project. They were seeing if community would come out and volunteer to clean up their
reserve. “so the first year we had two big containers full of garbage and 20 bikes, some TV’s and tires,
every year it’s dwindling down because we clean it every year and their is less garbage. This year we
had about 5-6 bags and not much junk in the woods” explained Joanne Cope organizer of the clean
up. This event brings families and community members together and shows that our community takes
pride in having a clean environment.
