Sod Turning Ceremony Sudbury West Green School


A ceremony held on October 30th, 2008 marked the start of construction of Rainbow District School Board's new green school in Sudbury West. Turning sod are, from left, Tim Dettlaff, Senior Vice-President of Asset Management for Ameresco Canada, Trustee Gord Santala, Director of Education Jean Hanson, and Board Chair Judy Hunda with Alec Carter, Grade 1, George Vanier Public School and Chelcey Perfetto, Grade 5, Jessie Hamilton Public School.





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.

GREATER SUDBURY MARKS LOCAL GOVERNMENT WEEK


The City of Greater Sudbury is encouraging students to learn about local government by hosting a drawing contest for elementary school students during Local Government Week, which runs from October 19 to 25.
Students from local elementary schools submitted drawings based upon the theme “Making mySudbury! A Greener Place to Live.” The drawings will be on display at Tom Davies Square during Local Government Week and students who enter the contest will have their names placed in a draw to win a school visit from Mayor John Rodriguez.

Local Government Week is a province-wide initiative developed by the Ministry of Municipal Affairs (MMAH), the Association of Municipal Managers, Clerks and Treasurers of Ontario (AMCTO) and the Association of Municipalities of Ontario (AMO) to provide children and youth with an innovative approach to learning about local government.

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 Andrew Rocha.

             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.
