Sod Turning Marks Start of Construction of New Green School in Sudbury
West
Rainbow District School Board held a sod turning ceremony today to mark
the start of construction of its second green school. Located on Sixth
Avenue in Lively, the school will offer English and French Immersion
programs for students in JK to Grade 6 from George Vanier Public School
and Jessie Hamilton Public School.
“Rainbow District School Board has made education for sustainable
development a priority,” said Board Chair Judy Hunda. “Valley View
Public School, the first green school in Northern Ontario, is a tangible
example of the vision that we share for our schools and the communities
that we serve. The green features in this new school will reaffirm our
commitment to creating a healthier, greener environment in which to live
and learn.”
With this new school, the Board is exploring the possibility of building
a carbon neutral facility, where the energy that is used is equal to the
energy that is produced. This would be achieved by incorporating solar
panels and wind turbines into the design. “Ideally, we want to use
electricity as the only source of energy and offset what we use with
renewable energy generated by the sun and the wind,” said Chair Hunda.
“We will be ready to proceed with this next step in sustainability if
and when we secure sufficient funding.”
There are many benefits to building high performance facilities, from
education, environmental and economic perspectives. “Go green features
protect the natural environment, provide a healthy, hands-on place to
learn, reduce energy consumption and operating expenses, and make new
schools exceptional learning and teaching tools for students and staff,”
said Rainbow District School Board Director of Education Jean Hanson.
“As Rainbow District School Board begins construction of the new school
in Sudbury West, they continue to set a green standard for others to
follow,” said Tim Dettlaff, Senior Vice-President of Asset Management
for Ameresco Canada.
He added: “Ameresco Canada is proud to be a partner in this new
initiative. The Board’s environmental stewardship practices are an
encouragement for students, teachers and members of the community and
its actions are teaching and inspiring us to do our part in reducing our
overall carbon footprint.”
The new school in Sudbury West will accommodate 500 students in 49,247
square feet over two floors. The school will also house a daycare
facility.
Castellan James + Partners Architects Inc. is designing the school.
Ameresco Canada Inc. is overseeing the construction with a targeted
completion date of the fall of 2009.

Students at St-Paul Jump for Heart
Once again this year, the students of École St-Paul in Lively showed
great enthusiasm and generosity during this year’s edition of Jump Rope
for Heart. The event is a fundraiser for the Heart and Stroke Foundation
of Ontario. During the annual event in June, the students raised
$2957.12 which was a little lower than last year’s total of $3400.
Students had to find sponsors and then had to skip rope for one hour at
the school. Prizes such as water bottles, skipping ropes and footballs
were awarded to deserving students.
In the picture, we see some of the students skipping rope. From left to
right, we can see Glenn Therrien, Nicholas Killeen, David Boyd and

École St-Paul – A Hidden Treasure
École St-Paul on Sixth Avenue in Lively has been around for many years
but not everyone in the community is even aware of its existence. The
school has students from junior kindergarten to grade 8. School boards
are leaning towards larger elementary schools but St-Paul, with an
enrolment of about eighty five students, has more of a family
atmosphere. The staff knows all of its students and everyone who enters
the school feels welcome.
École St-Paul has accomplished great academic results in 2007 as its
provincial test results were among the top five for its school board of
twenty-eight schools. An astonishing 100% of its students from grade 3
and grade 6 reached level 3 and 4 in the Mathematics test and in Writing
100% of its grade 3 students also received those high marks. The school
results in Reading were also high above provincial standards. The main
reason for such great results is a the teamwork by the staff and great
communication with parents to ensure that students reach their full
potential.
The school offers many activities during Family week in October. As
well, there is a winter carnival with a pancake breakfast, many
educational outings, skating at the arena, a badminton team and two
volley-ball teams. During the winter, there is floor hockey after school
and during the warmer months, there is soccer.
The school is also sponsored by the company Mining Technologies
International for its Adopt a School program with the Sudbury Wolves.
Four tickets for each home game are available for deserving students who
give a good effort in class or students who are helpful at school doing
work such as assisting lunch-hour supervisors to do their tasks or
organizing student radio. On February 21st, the grade 3 and 4 students
had a visit from two Wolves players who talked to them about many
important subjects such as the importance of good school attendance,
doing homework, setting goals for themselves, being organized and having
a good diet.
The principal, Charles de la Riva and the staff at École St-Paul are
always available to meet with potential parents and with representatives
of the community. Visitors are always welcome to visit our hidden
treasure.

Crouch of
the Sudbury Wolves.
