Arthur Public School News Updates

The EPIC Arts Night is coming up fast at Arthur Public School.
The Intermediate students have been working hard on a variety of different activities revolving around The Arts.
On May 9th the students will be showcasing their final projects in a gallery display. Thanks to a Speak Up Grant from the Ontario Government, Arthur Public School can have these activities for their students to participate in. Intermediate students are super excited for the EPIC Arts Night. The students will be selling some of their work to the public. All of the proceeds will go to the H2O for Haiti fund.

All of the staff and students invite the public to come and participate in this event. It will take place on May 9th from 6:30-8:00 p.m.

On this night the school welcomes you to come and join us for this wonderful night. This is also an opportunity for the students in the younger grades to show off the artwork they have been doing. 

We invite you to please come out and enjoy this exciting night.

May is about Positive Choices.
This month’s Character Trait encourages each of us to make good choices every day. We may not be able to control the world around us, but we can control how we respond to the events that occur. Often, when we react in a positive, kind and supportive way to people who are upset for a variety of reasons, we can have a positive impact on the situation and help others feel better about themselves. Do all you can to make positive choices.

April is Positive Attitude Month!
This month, as we continue to encourage the development of positive character traits in our students, we will focus on Positive Attitude. A Positive Attitude means focusing on good and not dwelling on negative. It is important to develop a positive attitude in children to help them to face the challenges involved in growing up and in life. People naturally gravitate towards positive people. Developing a more positive attitude will help your child to have a successful, independent and fulfilling life.

At APS we have many students who come to school hungry and/or without good, nutritious food in their lunch bags. We provide students with cereal, milk and fruit on a daily basis and also serve a healthy snack, consisting of a fruit or vegetable and milk or whole grain product five days per week. By having healthy food available in each classroom, we avoid stigmatizing students and ensure that all our students are able to focus on their learning. We also expose students to new or more nutritious foods so that students can learn to enjoy healthier foods.

Ensuring the safety of your child while at school, as well as traveling to and from school, is of upmost importance to us. We need your help, by following our board and school policies, to ensure the safety of each student at APS.
