Congratulation to Andrew Seymour for receiving the “Rescue Commendation Award”!
In 2017, Andrew was on a paddle boat that flipped over, trapping his mom underneath. Andrew reacted quickly and pulled his mom out from under the boat, saving her life. He was recognized at a ceremony on April 30, 2019 by The Lifesaving Society. Good work Andrew!
On Tuesday April 16th, the volunteer choir performed a scene from our school’s upcoming musical, The Lion King at the Winkler Festival of the Arts.
They were asked to return that evening to perform at the vocal highlights concert.
At the end of the concert, the choir was awarded a scholarship. This scholarship was sponsored by the Winkler Co-op. Its purpose is to encourage young musicians to use their accomplishments in the community and aspire to grow their musicality.
Congratulations to the volunteer choir and the actors from the Lion King who were honoured with this award!
You have made all of us at WES very proud!
In Math, 3G has been working on exploring addition and subtraction equations that have an unknown number. Students learned that the “equals” sign (=) means “the same as”. They used number balance scales to create a variety of true addition and subtraction equations.
The WES Jazz Choir and Jazz Band went on tour! On Wednesday March 13th, the groups performed at Manitou Elementary School and Souris Elementary School. On Thursday March 14th, they performed at the Brandon Jazz Festival as well as listened to other musicians. A lot was learned and a great time was had by all!
