June So Soon

Our June So Soon Celebrations took place on Friday.  Finally, a warm sunny day at the beach.  It has been many years since our students have been able to brave the waters at Colert Beach.  Our day started with an entertainment assembly, and the Beverly Ens Memorial Award and School Spirit Awards were presented.

The Beverly Ens Memorial Award is presented to the past presidents of the student council.  Beverly Ens was the Carman Collegiate Student Council president when she was involved in a fatal car accident in 1984.  The award is in appreciation on the work done and sacrifices made to give all students an enjoyable school experience.  Our 2014-2015 school presidents put in a huge number of hours planning, setting up, and participating in events.  Not only did they plan, they were full participants.  Mrs. Larisa Ens present the award to Mason M and Dane N.

The School Spirit Award was first presented in 1966.  The school spirit award is presented to the student or students who contribute behind the scenes and without thought of reward, has a cooperative attitude with both their peers and staff, demonstrates a genuine concern for others, and has a positive “lets get things done” outlook.   The nominees were: Tessa B, Allan C, Riley C, Maddi G W, Caitlin H, Nikki J, Amanda M, Mason M, Vanessa M, Dane N, Emily P, Addi P, Jordan R, Maddi S, and Lina L S.  
Our recipients were involved in student council, sporting teams, helping to coach, score keep, set up, document banners, helping with Cheerboard, involved philanthropy group, and many other activities.  Congratulations to this year’s recipients of the School Spirit Awards – Maddi G W and Mason M. 

Student Council then fed all the student lunch before we bussed our students to Colert Beach.  A great day was had by all.

The Arts Appreciation Evening held on Wednesday evening introduced a revamped format in our efforts to better highlight our student's incredible range of talents.  The evening started with our Philanthropy group hosting a sell out BBQ.  Our 200 plus audience then moved into the theatre and were treated to a sustainability fashion show.  Our models showed off dresses designed and created by students.  All dressed were made of 100% recycled materials.  Our grade 7 and 9 bands then performed.  Our audience then had the opportunity to take a gallery walk and witness what our students have been creating in Human Ecology, Industrial Arts, and Art class.  The Collegiate's many clubs had displays out presenting the many opportunities available to our students.  The Strum Club was also in full swing, performing during the intermission.  The evening then closed with our grade 8 and senior high bands hitting all the right notes.  Thanks to all our students and staff for their involvement in making this a great evening.

The Philanthropy Group would like to thank the community for the support on June 3, as we hosted a BBQ Fundraiser in conjunction with  the Art's Appreciation Evening.  All proceeds from the BBQ will be going to 2015-2016 granting season.  Thank you for your continued support!
