Message from the Principal
 Welcome to Sullivan Community School's web page!
It seems as though April has just flown by. We were lucky last week that we didn’t have a snow day. Several schools southeast of here had buses cancelled due to a heavy snowfall!
In April, a number of our students participated in the Regional Science Fair. At the Senior Fair, Paige Oldrieve received a bronze medal and the Conservation Special Award, and Amy Whittle received a silver medal. At the Junior Fair, Heather Whittle, Taylor Wilkinson, and Amber Urness each received a bronze medal. Eastyn Klages and Sophia Cottrill also received silver medals. It was exciting to see our students do so well!
Our grade 2, 3 and 4 students had an opportunity to participate in a Swim to Survive program this past month, taught at the Centennial Pool in Port Elgin. This was a free program funded by the government, focused on teaching children how to be safe in the water. I know our students really enjoyed the swimming and especially the free time at the end of each lesson!
You may have heard your child talking about some changes with computers at the school. This past week, our computers were upgraded to Windows 7 and Microsoft Office 2010. We’re still getting used to some of the differences, but it’s amazing how quickly students master technology and deal with technological change.
I hope to see lots of families out to our Camp Muskoka fundraiser coming up on May 5th. It’s a Garage Sale/Perennial Sale/BBQ/Bottle Drive all in one. Keep your fingers crossed for good weather!
Janice Nicholls, Principal
Bus Cancellation Announcements
Radio announcements for bus cancellations are changing slightly. Announcements will now refer to a School Bus Zone.
The bus zone for Sullivan Community School is Zone # 1 for Chesley, Tara and Desboro. When listening to the radio, please listen for that zone name. The message applies to all schools in the Zone. You may not hear our school’s name, as radio announcers may choose to mention individual school names only when necessary.
