News from the Office…
We just wrapped up our most successful Spirit Week in recent memory. Student participation was at an all-time high throughout the school. Student’s participated in dress up
days, noon hour grade level activities as well as a food drive. The Senior Years food drive
brought in 647 items while the Middle Years food drive brought in approximately 250lbs
of food, this food will then be passed on to the Beausejour Food Bank. A massive round
of applause for this successful week goes out to both the middle and the senior years student council members as well as their staff coordinators.
It’s hard to believe that we are closing in on the middle of first semester and that report
cards are going home on the 19th for all students. There is a scheduled Parent/Teacher
Conference on Thursday, November 26th for all students, both Middle and Senior
Years. Please call the office to make an appointment. Feel free to contact your child’s
teachers if you are not able to make this date. I also encourage you to contact teachers
at any point throughout the school year if you have any questions or concerns. They will
be happy to help address your questions.

Cross Country News
Runners High! Cross country athletes from Grade 6-9 participated in this year's Milk Run on October 1st, which was put on by Athletics Manitoba and sponsored by the Dairy Farmers of Manitoba. As a school, we sent 24 students who spent many lunch hours training with new coach,
community member Todd Baranoski. He has been a competitive
distance runner for many years and has brought passion and excitement into the ÉESS cross country program. Most runners confirmed to themselves that their practices were worthwhile as they
looked strong running up all those hills. Times were recorded by
coach Baranoski, to be used for hard training ahead as the students
prepared for their next races. Our Grade 7 boys team won the Milk
Run Banner, a great achievement.
On October 5th, our High School teams competed in the zone 13 championship. Our girls team, led by a third place finish
by Katriana Usipiuk, placed second in the team category. Our boys team, led by captain Justice Kitchen and his first place finish won the team banner. Our high school teams weren't done yet. Another
week of training was needed before their toughest test. On October 14th, our high school teams
travelled to Spruce Woods Forest, the site of the 2015 High School Provincial Cross Country Championships. The hilly course would defeat the boys on this
day. The boys team finished in 4th place in the team category. Individual results and placing were strong considering
there was just under 300 boys in their race! To have five of
our boys place in the top 120 was impressive. The girls race was fast. With175 girls
lined up at the starting line, it was an intimidating scene. Our girls persevered and ran
strong races. The constant elevation change
was most definitely a challenge but it also revealed that the training led by coach
Baranoski was paramount in their success. The girls team surprised us with a second
place finish in the team category, only losing 1st place by 19 points. Katriana placed
Left to Right: Jenna Scott, Katriana Usipiuk, Julia Armstrong,
16th overall, the best placed grade 9 athlete from ÉESS in 15 years. Congratulations

High School Cross Country athletes!

Schools from around Sunrise School Division attended. Led by countless personal best runs and many impressive individual performances, the ÉESS middle years cross country team placed 1st in the grade 6 and grade 7 category, and placed

for the Beausejour Hospital. The students created displays to show the things they do in taking care of the earth and the
people we share it with. The community showed their support by registering and test driving new Ford vehicles.
On Friday October 16, the Beausejour Chamber of Commerce held
their first annual Dragon’s Den in the school’s auditorium. Congratulations to the ÉESS Cheerleaders who won first place ($1433.75) for

SENIOR YEARS NEWS
Starting the Conversation: Mental Health
Some Facts

50-70% of mental illnesses develop before the
age of 18

Anxiety disorders affect approximately 10-20%
of youth

Suicide accounts for 24% of deaths amongst
15-24 year olds

67% of people suffer in silence fearing judgment and rejection
Positive mental health is vital, not only for school
success, but for a successful life in general. The statistics above only offer a glimpse into the magnitude
of the issue. Reducing stigma associated with mental
illness and encouraging those who are suffering in
silence to come out and get help are two pressing
matters that must be dealt with now—for the sake
of our children and our community. As individuals,
and as a community, what are we doing to enhance
mental health awareness and support those suffering from mental illness? What do we know about the
various mental illnesses—and what do we need to
know? How are we encouraging our children and
young people to seek the help they need?
For more information on Mental Health, visit the
Canadian Mental Health Association at http://
www.cmha.ca/

illness, visit: http://www.heretohelp.bc.ca/

Please contact the Student-Services team at ÉESS if
you are concerned about the mental health of a
young person in your life.

Student Council News
The last week of October was Spirit Week and the We Scare Hunger campaign. Classes are competing to see who has the
most school spirit and which grades can collect the most food for the Beausejour Food Bank.
On Tuesday, October 27, Colin Mathieson, para-olympian,
spoke to the middle year students in regards to the importance of team work and having people around who can
support you, and overcoming obstacles. Thank you to the
Royal Bank of Canada (RBC) for sponsoring Colin to attend
our school. (Visit the following for more details on Colin:

-dreams-207157361.html)
On Thursday October 29, the students had a sock hop that
was put on by Senior Year Students, Brayden Sjoberg, Kyle
Stanley and Caiden Pearce. Thank you to all of them for volunteering their time. It is greatly appreciated.
Future events that Student Council has planned: Manitoba Theatre for Young People will be coming to perform a powerful story of courage and perseverance. The Power of Harriet T is based on the story of Harriet Tubman, who fled slavery
and risked her life to help others find safe haven in Canada via the Underground Railroad. Harriet believed that if she
could escape, others could too, and she worked with the network.

DRIVER EDUCATION & TRAINING INFORMATION
Please find registration information for the upcoming Driver Education term included below.
Where can students go for registration information?
Once Driver Education courses are finalized, they are published on the Driver Education Course
Finder on the Manitoba Public Insurance website (http://apps.mpi.mb.ca/DL/CourseFinder.aspx)
When does registration for the upcoming term begin?
Registration for the Winter/Spring 2016 term (includes courses with a start date between Jan 1
and June 30) will be available at the start of business on November 16, 2015. Courses will be
available on Course Finder for students and parents to view on November 12, 2015.
How does reciprocity and the Student Admittance form work?
Students are grouped in one of two registration phases based on their reciprocity (determined by
which students a host school allows into their courses):
Primary (usually reserved for students attending the host school) - Students in this group
may register for courses as soon as registration is available. For the upcoming term, primary registration runs from November 16, 2015 to December 13, 2015.
Secondary (open to students from other schools or divisions as determined by the host
school) - Students in this group may register for courses four weeks after the course has
been available to the primary group. For the upcoming term, secondary registration runs
from December 14, 2015 to the course start date.
The Student Admittance Form is only given out by a host school to a student who is not
included in the school’s reciprocity (meaning the student is not included in their primary or secondary registration phase). Student Admittance forms cannot be used to bypass primary registration
phase. If you choose to issue a form before secondary registration opens, the student must wait
until the secondary registration phase begins to register.

If you have any questions or concerns, please contact Jodi Winter at 204-985-8770 ext. 8825 (toll
