The programmes and safe, healthy school enviromnent could not have occurred with- out the support of the entire communtty. Working together the'staff were able to implement the ftrst year of a new Reading programme In the Primary Division and a new Mathematics programme in the Junior Division. Teachers were also worklng with ii- dren to help them recognize what -good work" is and on helping them set personal goals for improvement. Our Grade 6 parents saw the evi- dence of this work durlng stu- dent-led conferences held lni May. The fMe efforts of staff and students will be bufit upon next year as the Interactions Math progranmme continues to be implemented from Junior Kindergarten to Grade 6. The First Steps reading program will move Into the Junior division whtle the Primary teachers pilot the Wrtttng & Spelltng compo- nents for the Board. As we conttnued building on our academtc strengths, staff have also worked hard to offer students opportun- ties in house league and school teain sports, Orff Instruments, choir, -story- telling, poetry writing, dance, drania, readlnig, earth day cel- ebrattons, technology days and our annual participation in the parades and displays at the ORONO Fair.. 0f course, as we reflect on the year, we need to take a moment to, thank the coin- munity for it's support. ORONO has a dedicated School Counicil chaired by Pam Hodgson. Good atten- dance at meetings has led to examinatton of curriculum, achievement, Ministry and Board policies as well as sup- porting classroom co-cunricu- lar activities and the hot lunch programme. Marie Nelson has worked diligentlY as our volunteer co-ordînator to develop a teain of parent volunteers and "Grand Friends", seniors who regu- larly read to students. Local business has supported the school and have helped with some of our "theme" days. In surmnary, it really does "take an entire village to raise a child."- ORONO Public School counts, itself lucky to be part of this village! sincerely with thanks, Catherine Montreufi Principal.
