www.insideHALTON.com | OAKVILLE BEAVER | Thursday, August 13, 2015 | 28 Fall Registration The Glenburnie advantage facilitating excellence students thrive at Glenburnie "But I don't feel like it!" How often do you say this about your own work, or hear this refrain from your child? School can be viewed as the equivalent to one's workplace. Lessons may be too challenging, or not of interest to a child. The Glenburnie `workplace' is structured much differently. Lessons are stimulating, fast paced and differentiated, with practical, real-life skill applications. Students are empowered as partners in their learning experience, provided with choice, and treated with respect. When work is valued, recognized, and appreciated, it has a positive impact on one's confidence, self-esteem, and commitment to tasks. Children thrive when their academic activities are fun and meaningful, and when passionate educators care enough to provide the very best. Glenburnie parents often comment that their children look forward with anticipation to each new school day. At Glenburnie, our end objective is to empower our students to be their personal best. Strong core values, teamwork, leadership and analytical skills and exceptional oral and written communication skills are the foundations to successfully meet the challenges and opportunities in our rapidly changing world. Now that's exciting and worth getting out of bed for each morning! Linda Sweet M.S. Ed.

NOW ACCEPTING FALL REGISTRATION! Back to school preparation Tips from St. John Ambulance It's that time of year again! The summer break almost has come to an end and the kids are heading back to school. As a result, our roads get busy with school buses, parents driving their children to and from school and students walking or biking to school. St. John Ambulance Oakville-Milton & Halton Hills wants everyone to stay safe as schools get back in session, so remember these tips. School bus safety: · Teach children about bus danger zones, Technical and creative excellence in a warm and friendly environment for students age 3 to adult. Academy Director: Heidi Knapp Fellow and Examiner with The Imperial Society of Teachers of Dancing these are blind spots where the bus driver is unable to see them, or there is a risk of being hit. Once they know the danger zone, have them stay clear. · Be on time. The less of a rush your children are in the less likely they are to make a safety mistake. · Make sure children wait for a signal from the driver before attempting to cross in front of a bus. · Never walk or play behind a bus. · Keep head and arms inside the vehicle.
