Rundle Academy Newsletter December 2014

As we near the end of December and

approach Winter Break, I cannot help but

fall victim the spirit of the season. The

familiar holiday jingles that greet you in

stores, on television and on the radio

somehow trigger the excitement of the

holidays, inspire togetherness and have

us looking forward to spending time with

family and friends. As we consider these

notions, some popular Christmas carols

have helped me reflect on our past 4

months together and frame just how

amazing the staff and students at Rundle

Academy are:

Winter Wonderland

The start of September brought with it a

winter storm that definitely challenged our

resolve and the running of our start of the

year orientation camps in the junior high

and elementary. However, with true grit

and innovation camps ran effectively and

helped our students connect outside of

the classroom setting up trusting relation-

ships that have persisted into this year's

end.

Joy to the World

Our focus on kindness this year truly has

had staying power. Our deciduous kind-

ness trees from November have trans-

formed into evergreens just in time for the

holidays. Our Kids Helping Kids group

continue to inspire and spread joy with all

their hard work and efforts. The holiday

season alone has seen them help chil-

dren abroad through Operation Christmas

Child, helping three families in need with

our Adopt-a-Family initiative among many

others. Finally, Alma Mater day saw all

divisions unite in showing support for our

grade 12s and their future exploits follow-

ing their graduation this year.

Do you Hear what I Hear?

I hear the sound of a thriving and caring

community of learners. Whether it be

one of our many sports teams, our stu-

dent council, our recent drama produc-

tions or TA periods in the morning.

Rundle Academy prides itself on being a

community. I am very proud of how our

students model this community each and

every day. Rundle Academy is not only a

place where students experience success

academically, it is also a place where

they learn to care for each other.

Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer

It is no secret that there is something very

special about each and everyone one of

our students. Our staff know this and

you, the parents, know this. The best

part about Rundle Academy is that the

students begin to identify this in them-

selves and begin to experience the confi-

dence and success they have always

been capable of.

Thanks for a tremendous 4 months and

your continued support. We look forward

to further success and growth in the new

year.

Wishing you happy holidays spent with

family and friends.

At our last meeting Kellie Adams, Head of Math and Science, led parents through the Rundle Academy Math Program from grade 4 through 12. She did a tremendous job addressing how the needs of our students are supported through programs such as Fastt Math, Successmaker and Math 10 Prep. Our PAC would like to thank Mrs. Kellie Adams for her time and commit-ment to ensuring our program continues to support and further our students understanding of math. If you were unable to make the meeting, PAC minutes are posted and archived in the Administrative Portal of Moodle, have a look. The next PAC meeting will be held on January 8, 2015, at 6:00 p.m. It will be followed by a Speaker Series on 'Test Preparation' starting at 7:00 p.m., just in time for our upcoming exam week. Hope to see you there.

Winter break is almost here, and the New Year is a time in which we think about changes. Unfortunately, I have had to make some changes sooner than expected and have begun my maternity leave early.

I feel confident that the students will be well cared for in my absence. An interim counsellor will be starting on De-cember 15

th, and I have no doubt that she will jump right

into community life at Rundle. Amie Staniloff comes to us from the Master of Social Work program in Counselling at the University of Calgary, and brings with her a variety of

school-based experiences that will make her a wonderful support and resource for students, parents, and staff. Amie will continue to work in the role of School Counsellor until I return from my maternity leave.

I wish you and yours a very happy and healthy holiday season and look forward to reconnecting with you upon my return!

AL M A MATE R DAY

IN TH EIR OW N WORD S


After graduating from Rundle Academy, my

life took some unexpected paths. Like

many students, I didn‟t quite know what I

wanted to do after school. I decided to go

right into university and attended BYU-

Idaho. To be honest, I hated every second

of it. I decided to drop out and seek other

avenues for a career. Unfortunately, with-

out a degree or any other training, I found

myself in the lawn care business for a large

land developer. I worked for two years be-

fore being promoted to foreman and run-

ning a crew of five people. As I continued

to do this job, I realized that I wanted to do

something greater with my life than simply

mow the same patch of grass day in and

day out. Eventually, this lead me to return

to BYU-I with a fresh perspective and a de-

sire to learn. While still trying to figure out

what I wanted to major in, I was presented

with an opportunity to go on a two-year ser-

vice mission for my church. I travelled

away from home to Michigan, USA and I

tried to help bring some happiness to peo-

ple who had lost their own path. I found

that helping others, helped me to redefine

my future endeavours. Since my mission, I

have been back in school for three years

pursuing a degree in Psychology. I gradu-

ate this winter. This is exciting and some-

what unbelievable, since I barely made it

through high school. If it wasn‟t for the pa-

tience of my teachers, I wouldn‟t be where I

am today. As for my future, I‟m currently

getting ready to apply for grad school to

pursue my dream of becoming a Child Psy-

chologist, so that I can help others.

On December 2nd

, as a way to celebrate our upcoming graduates, staff and students participated in a Rundle Acad-emy Alma Mater Day. Staff donned their best University attire, while students gave advice and displayed their hopes and dreams for their future. Sparking many interesting conversations between graduates and teachers, students were able to see the pride each teacher has for their Alma Mater.

Junior High School Orientation and High School Orientation

* All Grade 6 and Grade 9 Parents and Students

When we return from winter break, we will be very excited to host two parent nights in January. Firstly, there will be a talk on examination preparation. With mid terms and high school finals at the end of the month, reminders of study strategies and test preparation skills will be well received by parents and students, alike. Later in the month, our Grade 9 and Grade 6 parents and students are asked to come to an information evening about high school and junior high. Grade 9s will be hosted by Mrs. Jordan and be exposed to life in high school and all it has to offer. Discussions around curriculum, credit systems and extra curriculars will frame this informative evening. That same night, the Grade 6s will learn what to expect in Junior High by Mr. Burla. Academic responsibilities, option classes and extra curriculars guide the discussion around what makes junior high a very exciting time at Rundle Academy.

This year marks the first year that Rundle Academy has had a Speech and Debate team registered with the ADSA (Alberta Debate & Speech Association). Junior High stu-dents have been working hard during the last few months, developing, practicing and performing their speeches at various tournaments around Calgary. A big congratula-tions to those students who have participated. It takes a lot of courage to stand up in front of a group of people and speak! On Saturday, December 6

th, three members

of our team attended the Speech Regional Tournament. All students put on excellent performances, and Zander Clay in grade 7, was fortunate enough to place 2

nd in his

category of Original Oratory. He will be representing the Rundle Academy Speech Team at Provincials in January. The rest of the team is now shifting focus to debate and will have an opportunity to compete in the New Year. Go Rockies!

Our winter production was The Brothers Grimm Spectaculathon which ran from December 9th-12

th in the Fine

Arts Centre. A madcap retelling of some classic fairy tales, this show had everything: love, death, and crab peo-ple! A big congratulations goes out to Sawyer Figol who won the Rising Star Award and Ciaran Bailey who won the Shining Star Award as voted on by the cast and crew of the show. Thanks goes out to all the hardworking stu-dents who made the show a possibility. Thanks also to all who came out to watch the performances! Stay tuned for our spring production!

Operation Shoebox! On December 1

st, Ms. Kapitza, Ms. Irick and Mrs. Speidel took a

group of 10 amazing students to the warehouse of Operation Christ-mas Child for their annual volunteer shift to sort and pack shoe boxes filled with gifts for deserving children all over the world! This year the boxes from the Calgary processing centre were being sent to children in Guatemala, the Ukraine and different countries in Africa that have been affected by the Ebola crisis. In the 2-hour shift, that seemed to be over within a blink of an eye, the processing centre (for the first time this season) broke the 5000 mark and packaged 5041 shoe boxes to be sent overseas!

Kids Helping Kids: This is the Season of Giving Back

Poinsettia Fundraiser / CUPS Shopping Trip

Thank you to all the families that supported our Holiday Poinsettia fundraiser! With your help and generosity, Kids Helping Kids raised close to $3000 which will help support the families of CUPS (Calgary Urban Project Society). On December 7

th, Ms. Kapitza and Mrs. Speidel took eight students to buy

much needed supplies and toys for families in need. The eight students (Aaron Clark, Chloe Schotanus, Fatima Mehdi, Amanda Petti, Taya Colwell, Elisabeth Faircloth-Nunn, David Samuels and Sarah Reeder) worked very hard calculating totals and keeping track of the money they could spend. In total, the group spent just over $2000 on toiletries, baby necessities, house-hold items and toys.

Once again, thank you for all your support!

Rundle Academy Adopt-A-Family This year, in support with Kids Helping Kids, Rundle Academy is adopting three

deserving families through NeighbourLink. There are three Christmas trees set up

with tags listing the requested gifts for each family. Thank you to all the families

that have generously taken tags and help to make this holiday season a more

happy time with these families. Gifts should be wrapped with the original label

attached and are due by Monday, December 15th. On December 17

th, Ms. Kapitza

and Mrs. Whiting will be taking a group of students to deliver these gifts to the

adopted families. Thank you for helping to bring some light and holiday cheer to

the less fortunate!

Community Helpers The Kids Helping Kids program is excited to be providing a new in-school

initiative called, "Community Helpers," to train students in Junior High and

Senior High School (Grades 8 to 12) to be knowledgeable and effective

peer supporters. The program is taking place over three Friday after-

noons, in conjunction with the Canadian Mental Health Society. It is in full

swing and we are looking forward to having these trained peer supporters

on board and available for their fellow students!

Christmas Party Elves On December 14

th, a group of excited students will become

Santa‟s Helpers as they join the Rundle College Society families at their annual Children‟s Christmas Party. These students are volunteering their time to help play with the young children of Rundle Society staff. We ho-ho-hope they have a wonderful time!

What do Duchess, Lac du Bonnet, Vaughan, Leduc, and Waukegan, Illinois have in common? These are the locations of classes the Junior High re-cently collaborated with to complete a mystery hangout focusing on the CORE value of communication. At this point you may be asking, what is a mystery hang-out? A mystery hangout is a Google Hangout in which both parties are meeting for the first time. The goal is to ask a series of yes or no questions to narrow down the geographic location of the other class. To prep for our first mystery hangout experience TA groups in the junior high paired up and conducted a prac-tice hangout to guess the pretend mystery location of the other group. Students learned a lot about what it means to ask a quality question as well as the importance of lis-tening. When the big day arrived, TA groups came together to divide and conquer. The first order of business was to divide into roles. Students discovered that a bit of order and organization goes a long way! Some students really wanted to be on camera, while others preferred to be be-hind the scenes as part of the “think tank” that came up with the next question based on the answers provided by the other class. Learning about different roles that needed filled, as well as being a good communicator, was key to successful questioning.

Some groups were able to figure out where their partner class was. Once the guessing was over, this allowed for the classes to get to know each other a bit better. One class, matched up with Mrs. Adams and Ms. Kopp‟s classes was in Vaughan, Ontario. The class consisted of junior high students at Nellie McClung Public School. Their main questions were about whether or not students liked wearing a uniform to school each day. Although the resounding answer around the room was no, Rundle Academy students did end by telling them – it sure makes it easy to get dressed in the morning. The conversation with the class in Vaughan ended in a very Canadian way. Both classes asked, “What‟s the weather like there?”

Many good things are happening during the literacy block in the elementary and junior high at Rundle Academy. This is a block of time built in to the schedule four times per week to work in leveled groups. Each group has a specific area of focus based on the needs of the students which include: decoding skills, building fluency and increasing comprehen-sion. The past few months, Ms. Kapitza‟s fluency group had been focusing on building and improving oral fluency through reading poetry. As a culmination and celebration of all the hard work done by her group, they hosted a Po-etry Cafe for other classes and staff to attend. During the various sessions, the classroom was converted into a dimly lit cafe where the class could perform their chosen poems for the audience as they sipped on hot chocolate. Each poem was read with inflection, carefully recognizing punc-tuation and keeping a good pace. The poems were well received by the audience which was conveyed through snapping instead of clapping. All in all, it was a groovy time had by all. Mr. Burla said it best via Twitter, “Poetry Cafe in fluency class. Great pace and inflection, Cool Cats!”

CAL G ARY ZO O

On Monday, December 1st, the grade four and five

classes embraced the cold weather for a field trip to the

zoo. The morning was spent indoors experimenting with

solar and wind technology as part of a program entitled

We Have the Power. The students tested circuits, mag-

nets, mini versions of photovoltaics, and wind turbines to

determine the best weather for maximum voltage. They

discovered how whale fins and butterfly wings are inspir-

ing future innovations in energy conservation. Students

observed alternative technologies first-hand and learned

ways to conserve energy in their own homes. The after-

noon was spent exploring animals in their habitats be-

fore returning to the school.

The Social Studies Grade 7 classes had the opportunity to visit Heritage Park for the Paddlers and Partners Program in No-

vember. This included an introductory simulation to learn about the Fur Trade, as well as a presentation about the life of a

voyageur. Students learned about the various roles and social structure of the Fur Trade. Afterwards, they learned about

what it would take to become a voyageur in an engaging presentation filled with song and a paddling lesson. This gave them

an excellent introduction to Chapter 4 of the Social Studies course which includes learning about the five different stages of

the Fur Trade.

The last number of weeks have been jammed packed

in Junior High Phys. Ed. We have participated in our

basketball unit, as the actual season is now upon us.

We also had the benefit of two outside groups coming

in to present their programs to us. The first was

Rocks and Rings, a national curling program, who

brought curling experience to our students. This was

a lot of fun and we certainly look forward to next

year‟s visit. Our second visitor was Cody Jackson, a

dance instructor, who came in and taught all our jun-

ior high the history and steps of hip hop dance. The

students had a great time busting a move!

A core squad of 12 gentlemen will suit up this season for the 8/9 Basketball team. Some new faces, together with some returning veterans, make up a group with some im-pressive chemistry. Led by 10 grade 9‟s, the squad is eager to be competitive once again this year. “These boys are talented, there is no doubt about that, but they have a lot to work on if we want to win the ban-ner again this year,” says Coach Chris Paz. “If they continue to work hard, come to practices and work as a team, the sky is the limit for these exciting players,” added Coach Eric Vesey. With many long term Rundle Academy Basketball play-ers, the team has some veteran leadership and experi-ence to build from. The future of the program looks very bright with some extremely talented young men poised to take leadership roles over the next few years. The 8/9 Boys have been hitting the courts extremely hard with many hours of practice and several preseason games under their belt. They will open the regular sea-son at home in the new year when they host Foothills

Academy at 4:00 p.m. on January 8th. Good luck boys!

RUN D LE COL L E G E FOOTBAL L Rundle Football – Provincial Semi-finalists

Congratulations to the Rundle Football Team on an outstanding

season. We had drawn the #1 Ranked Cardson Cougars for our

quarter final game, a tall task for any program. Not many people

gave us a chance to beat them, but our boys believed in them-

selves and each other, and we shocked the football world, win-

ning a nail-biter by a score of 14-8. We felt very strongly going

into the semi-finals that this could be our year.

Unfortunately for the team, our season was cut short by a heart-

breaking 31-10 loss against Cochrane High School. The score

was 14-10 going into half-time, but unfortunately we had some

key players succumb to injury which sealed our fate. Cochrane

went on to march through their opponent in the finals and claim

the Tier III provincial championship. The boys fought their

hearts out in that game however and left everything on the field.

The entire Rundle coaching staff is very proud of the way our

boys played and we are already excited about next year and the

fresh young faces we will have going into next season. The goal

next year will be to once again claim our Big Rock League

Championship and challenge for the Tier III Provincial Champi-

onship. We will work our hardest to make that goal a reality.

Thank you to all the students, parents and staff for their encour-

agement and support in helping us fully experience this great

season.


ROCK IE S WR ES T L ING

November was a busy month with wrestling in which Rundle

Academy offers the program from Elementary to High School.

The team practices Monday to Wednesday after school and

Tuesdays the team travels to Rundle College to train with the

Cobras. We have had a terrific turnout and our Junior High

Lunch Room turns itself into a great training center with up to

25 athletes during practice.

On November 14th, Elementary and Junior High students

travelled to Arbor Lake for a novice tournament. It was a

tournament of firsts. Some of our athletes faced their very

first competition, some faced their first loss, win and pin. Re-

gardless of the outcome, our team battled hard and gained

valuable mat experience.

On November 28th, the team travelled by bus through a win-

ter blizzard to compete at Captain Nichola Goddard for the

Phoenix Invitational. Although due to the severe weather the

numbers were thinned considerably, the talent was as steep

as ever. Some of the best wrestlers from the NW showed

their enthusiasm to compete. Our team learned a few new

moves and had some very successful results.

December 6th, the team travelled to the University of Calgary

Jack Simpson Gym and wrestled at the Dino's hosted Cal-

gary Junior Olympics. We had a solid team of both novice

and senior wrestlers who competed well and made all of

Rundle Academy proud.

This past week on Monday, December 15th, the entire pro-

gram competed in the CISAA Championships. The Junior

High team took a 4th place title in the 2J category and a 4

th

place title in the High School category. There were some

excellent matches and all of our wrestlers made the coaching

staff, parents and teachers very proud. Athletes, your dedi-

cation and hard work was witnessed by your school commu-

nity . Walk tall today!

A huge thank you to everyone who helped out in the tourna-

ment from both students and staff. It was amazing to see the

support for the wrestling program. A huge wrestler bear hug

to you all.

Thank you once again to our wrestling families who have

committed to the program and have made this season a suc-

cess. The wrestling program and community at Rundle

Academy is alive and well and we look forward to our High

School Program achieving their best after the break.
