Fundraiser
The final days of the 2015-2016 school year have arrived. Staff and students
are finishing up with final exams and assignments in order to prepare for report cards.
Overall we have had a very successful year at Montmartre School. When reviewing
the results from the different assessments that we are required to administer there
were some very positive outcomes. Included in this edition of the newspaper is a
write up about the Learning Improvement plan and I invite you to look at the results
paying particular attention to the results in the Number Strand assessment.
When I first came to Montmartre school 3 years ago Math was an area of
weakness and now we can celebrate the fact that the work that has been put into this
area is paying off! I also must add that it is not only the work that staff and students
that is paying off, it is the high rate of attendance that is also making a difference.
Thank you to the parents that share in the belief that attendance counts; overall
Montmartre School has a 94% attendance rate.
As we close out the year I want to wish everyone a restful and enjoyable
summer! I will miss the Montmartre School community but am also excited about the
new adventure that awaits for me at Sedley School. I have told Mr. Pollard what a
great place this is and he is anxious to begin working with you all. If you need to be in
touch with the Principal during the summer holidays I invite you to send him an email
at [email protected].
Yours in Education,
Mrs. Blomquist
Goodbye Mrs.Blomquist
Montmartre School, staff, and community will be sad to
see Mrs. Blomquist leave us at the end of this year. She
will be moving to Sedley School in the fall. Mrs. Blomquist
came to the school as Vice Principal in 2013. Since then
she has become Principal and an SLC Adviser. We would
like to thank Mrs. Blomquist for everything she has done
over the past three years not only the school but for the
students. Although we will be sad to see Mrs. Blomquist
leave, we wish her well on this new adventure.

Senior Track
We had a great year in track with approximately 50+ students participating. Our zone track meet held May
17th @ Douglas Park was a success as we had 30+ students move on to districts. Also at zones, Sam Chittenden
was awarded Aggregate High point winner for pee-wee boys. The district track meet held May 27th @ Douglas
Park brought some great competition. Montmartre School had many students place 3, 4, & 5th in their events. We
were proud to send Dylan Florek to Provincials June 3 & 4th again held at Douglas Park to participate in Junior boys
hurdles & high jump. Competition at the provincial level was exceptional, but the experience was unforgettable.
Thanks to all the students who participated and worked hard to tone their skills & abilities, we hope to see you
again next year.

Farm Safety
The grade 1 to 8 students went to a farm safety presentation in the library. The kids learned what to do and what
not to do while working or playing on a farm. There were some very fun experiments that we got to do on roll
cages and grain trucks. All of the students learned many useful tips for when they are on farms but had fun doing
it
C h i c k e n W i n g D i s s e c ti o n
The Health 20 class has been learning about body systems.
They have done a chicken wing dissection. And recently they
completed fetal pig dissection as well.
Drama
Montmartre School’s Drama club was small but mighty this
year. We had 10 students participating this year. The group performed
at our annual Drama Dessert Theatre on May 12th. They were a great
group to work with and they learned a lot about acting, we hope they
will continue with Drama club in the future. Special thanks to Kim
Bircher for helping with the Sound system, Lighting, and stage blocking!

Just Ask Videos

helped students move towards meeting the expectations for their grade levels. Montmartre School is committed to
“knowing every student by name and by need.” We are constantly reviewing the data and continuing to put efforts
into improving student learning. Congratulations to the Students, Staff and Parents for leading each other through

received a prize. The standings are as follows:

We could like to thank all the SLC members for a great year, and thank you to everyone who supported the SLC

We had a lot of fun on our field trip to Regina on June 22nd and 23rd. When we first got there we went to the
Lawson Aquatic Centre. We all had so much fun jumping off of the high platforms and diving boards and
swimming in the pool. Everyone had a good time playing on the floating mats as well as riding on each other’s
backs. Afterwards we went to Houston Pizza for supper and the pizza was delicious! Later on we went to the
Science Centre to watch an interesting IMAX film. Once the movie was over we had lots of fun participating in
science activities with our group leaders. We played with Ozobots, made different bridge designs, and experimented with chemicals. Then we got to explore the exhibits until midnight. The girls and the boys each got
their own floor and we got to pick where we slept. The next morning we had a nutritious and energizing
breakfast. Then we went to Laser Ques where they learned about light refraction. We all had so much fun
making up our own usernames. Each grade 7 and 8 played two rounds, one with no teams, and one with two
teams against each other. Later on, we all went to a huge park with large slides and a really big chair. On the
way home we got DQ Blizzards. All of us had fun on the trip, even without our phones. We all agreed that this
was one of the most fun field trips that we have gone on so far!

Grade 3/4 Royal Saskatchewan Museum &
Science Centre
We went to the Royal Saskatchewan Museum and Science Centre. At the
museum we got to throw atlatls and learn about hunting, First Nations, snakes
and fossils. Then we went to Candy Cane Park for lunch and played for a bit
then went to the Science Centre. We looked around for 10 minutes then went
to the laser maze then went to a movie about space then we went home.
-Delaney Sebastian
What I liked about this field trip was we got to go to Candy Cane Park for lunch
and to play I liked the rolling thing. I liked the mini golf course and at the
museum I liked the snake bull and at the Science Centre I like the laser maze
and the Test Your Throw.
-Cruz Klapak
When we went to the museum my favorite part was learning about the First
Nation hunting and shooting atlatls. I also liked the snake exhibit. There was a
reaction test and my best was 18! When we were at the Science Centre my
favorite part was the laser mazes and trying to complete them. We also went
to an Imax movie called Beautiful Planet in 3D. It was about space. For the last
15 minutes I played in the hockey section.

The grade ½ and 2/3 classes went to the RCMP Heritage Centre. We learned how to stand at ease, stand at
attention, answer orders properly, and march. If we didn’t do things right we had to do pushups. When you
march you start with your left foot, and your arms must be straight. We marched to go see “Courage in Red”, a
movie about what it is like at cadet training. The movie showed us what it is like at RCMP cadet training. It
looked pretty cool; but very hard work. The training lasts for six months. Every RCMP officer is trained in Regina. Students learned cadets must be in good shape, learn to follow directions well and learn all the laws of the
country. We also learned that the job can be dangerous.
Next we went on an “I Spy” hunt in the museum. We saw a bombardier, Nero the horse, dog sleds, old cruisers and lots of guns. We got to try on the red tunics and Stetsons. Then we had lunch and watched the Sargent
Major Parade. The cadets had to march and do roll call and some were in the marching band. One band member fell and broke his cymbal. He got right back up. Some things we noticed about the cadets:
They always run from building to building. It is called “doubletime”.
They have to listen to the boss and no smiling.
They have different uniforms:
Some had yellow stripes on their pants
Some wore brown boots. They were very shiny. (It takes 40X to make them shiny.)
Men have short hair and women have a short haircut or tight bun.
The top officers wear white shirts.
For important times they wear their red serge jackets.
After the parade, we went back into the museum to cool off. It was an awesome experience!!
