Power of One Anti-bullying Presentation

Soren Bennick's The Power of One™

A bullying-proofing performance for elementary school children

The Power of One is a series of skits presented by actors who use boxes, colours, and masks to vividly portray what bullying is, what can be done about it, and how every child has the power of one, the power to report and deal with bullying when they see it. The Power of One:

• Explains the roles in bullying: Bully, Target, and Bystander
  
• Shows vivid examples of different types of bullying: Physical, Verbal, Exclusion, and Cyber bullying
  
• Alerts children that Targets need help and intervention
  
• Encourages students not to be bystanders
  
• Emphasizes the need for individual action to make the community a safer, better place
  
• Refers children to parents, adults, and teachers for further assistance and instruction

The set for the Power of One consists of a series of boxes that fit inside each other like a Russian egg. Each box is a different colour: green, purple, yellow, and white, representing the different roles in the bullying process.

Following the colour scheme of the boxes, the actors put on a green mask when they play the Bully, a purple mask when they play the Target, and a yellow mask for the Bystander.

The highlight of the performance is when a volunteer from the audience looks into the Power of One box (which contains a mirror) and sees himself/herself!

This leads to the audience taking the Power of One anti-bullying oath and the conclusion of the performance.

Sunday September 8, 2013 Sunday Night Update From General Lake

Good Evening Deb Legault here with your weekly update from General Lake Public School. We had a wonderful opening last Tuesday as the students were welcomed into their classes. Students, staff and parents were happy to be back into the routine and welcoming the opportunity to renew their commitment to make a positive change. Building strong character is a number one priority at General Lake, as well as promoting a healthy and safe lifestyle.
The RCDSB  have changed to a five day cycle instead of following the Mon to Friday model. You will notice this change on the weekly schedule sent given by teachers. Therefore we began on Day 1 so this Monday is Day 5; Tuesday is Day 1; Wednesday is Day 2; Thursday is Day 3 and Friday will be Day 4. In the event of a holiday, PA Day or Snow day it will be Day 0 and the next day will be the regularly scheduled day so no day is missed.  It will take a little getting use to, but I am confident once things get rolling we will adjust.
Agenda's have arrived for our Grade 1-8 students. We encourage all parents to review the opening pages for important information about our school. Also it is important to check the agenda daily as it provides communication for parent and school, as well as an organizational tool for important dates and assignments.
This week the Cross Country Events begin at our school promoting an active healthy lifestyle for all ages.   Students in grades 4-8 who signed up for the cross country run will be meeting Mme Cathy Monday , Wednesday  and Friday for their training session at 8:30. Students are reminded to bring a water bottle and to have running shoes.  This is a competitive event so students are expected to be at all practices rain or shine. Some cuts may have to be made as we get closer to the event.
On Tuesday and Thursday it is my Fun Run at 8:30. Parents, staff and students are welcome to join me as we take a few laps around the yard.  This is non-competitive and meant to promote healthy lifestyle and personal best.  Everyone in grade 3-8 is welcome attend. Students in younger grades are welcome to attend with parental supervision.
On Tuesday afternoon at 12:30 our kindergarten classes will meet for a 'Welcome to GL' assembly. We will be reviewing the school rules, as well as having a special presentation by a visiting artist Sarah Parkin. Parents, as always, are welcome to attend our assemblies.
On Thursday we invite our community to come into our school for our 'Meet the Teacher' event from 4:30 until 6:00pm .
On Friday it is our school spirit day where staff and students are encouraged to wear our school colours purple and yellow. Students in Grade 7 and 8 are welcome to join Mme DeAbreu at lunch for her Dancefit class. We will also be having a school-wide cheer event in the gym at 2:45 for Grade 1-8 students.
Finally Family.ca is having a contest to win an anti-bullying rally for the school. A number of students have already approached me about signing the forms. I encourage everyone to enter this event and I will be happy to sign any forms. Just another great way for us to bring awareness to this problem and take a stand against bullying and its harmful effects.

Mark your calendars for the following up and coming events:
Sept 18 School Council meeting at 6:00 pm
Sept 25 Picture Day

Have a great week and remember its worth a run to the Lake!! Enjoy the rest of your evening!

Monday, September 2, 2013 Weekly Message

GOOD EVENING! Deb Legault back with your regular weekly update from General Lake Public School.
Tomorrow, Tuesday Sept 3 we welcome back our returning students, as well as our new General Lake members.  We also welcome some new staff members including  our new Vice Principal Mme Robillard, Immersion Kindergarten teacher Mme Stone-Butterworth, Grade 3/4  teacher Ms. Martinat, Core English Teacher Ms Bennett, 3/4 Immersion Teacher Mme Macphee. We also welcome Ms Boudens in the Office,  New Educational Assistants Ms Murphy, Ms Dominey, and Ms Armstrong, and Custodial Staff Mrs Heany.

Supervision begins on the yard at 9:00 and at 9:20 students from Grade 1-8 will enter the school and go directly to the gym. I invite our intermediate students to arrive 5 minutes earlier to wear a vest and join me in helping with the organization, as well as our first assembly at 2:45.  Senior kindergartens will be be met by their teachers on the kindergarten yard and brought to their classes.  We will see some of our Jk's either Sept 3, or 4 in the gym at 10:00 for an orientation meeting. Parents are welcome at 9:20 to join us in the gym for our quick introductions and announcements of the classes.

At the end of the day all K-2 immersion walking students will exit through the front doors. All English walkers will exit through the North door, at the right of the school. If you are picking up your child, particularly our younger children you must identify yourself to the teacher before taking your child. It may take a few extra minutes waiting but it is to ensure the safety of all students.

A reminder we have some students with life threatening allergies to nuts. Please refrain from sending items that contain nuts or may contain traces of nuts to the school. When sending WOW butter the peanut butter substitute, please ensure it is clearly labelled to eliminate any confusion and undue anxiety experienced by students with nut allergies.

We have chocolate and white milk available for sale for $.75 at first nutrition break beginning tomorrow. Kindergarten students can purchase coupons $7.50 for 10 or $15.00 for 20.

Agenda's will be available for students in Grade 1-8 for purchase at $8.00 per agenda with a maximum cost for families of $16.00. We encourage all parents to purchase this organization tool to help students keep organized, as well as to provide a forum for parent teacher communication. Parents should regularly check the agenda and sign daily.

On Thursday, I invite  students from Grade 3-8 to join me in a running club at 8:30 am. This club will take place every Tuesday and Thursday morning from 8:30-9:00 until October 10.  Parents are welcome to join us. The emphasis of this club will be achieving personal best rather than competition.

On Friday lets show our school spirit, as well as pride for our troops and wear red.  Like last year, each student will be assigned a colour to represent their spirit team.  Points are calculated for the number of students from each colour participating. Its a friendly and fun competition designed to promote school engagement and interest. Throughout the year we have a variety of spirit days. I will be consulting with the intermediate team to create a variety of fun days.

Also for the safety of all of our students our front door has now been set with a camera and buzz in system. As always our doors will remain locked throughout the day and visitors will have to ring bell to gain entry.  All visitors will be expected to sign in and wear a visitors pass when entering the hallways of our school.

Finally mark your calendar for September 18 for our School Council  Meeting at 6:00pm in our Library. We will be holding our General Elections where we have a number of opportunities available for parents to be involved in the school.  Children are welcome to attend.

Its going to be a great year to be at the Lake! See everyone tomorrow!

Welcome Back to General Lake

Welcome Back to General Lake for the 2013-2014 School Year. It’s going to be an exciting year as we recognize the past traditions and history of our great school and we anticipate the day we will walk through the doors of our new K-12 school Valour.

Our first day is Sept 3 for all of our Senior Kindergarten to Grade 8 students. The day begins at 9:20. Students are welcome to join us on the yard when supervision begins at 9:00.

Our new Junior Kindergarten students will begin at 10:00 am, either on Sept 3 or Sept 4, with presentations in the gym. Parents should have received a letter in the mail, as to their respective start day. Some of our community representatives, as well as some support staff will be on hand to give information to our parents about the various programs. Our teachers will come into the gym and pick up their assigned Junior kindergarten students so they can continue their first exciting day of learning back in the classroom. Please consult the blog for more information on our Opening day.

Other students, SK to Grade 8, will enter the building at the bell through their previous year door.  For our new students, as well as our returning Grade 1’s, they can enter through the front entrance. We will all meet in the gym at 9:20 for a brief welcome and introductions of our new staff. Teachers will call the names of their classes beginning with the Grade 8’s.  Teachers will spend time in the morning reviewing class rules, as well as showing students where they will be lining up.   I invite our Grade 8 leaders to arrive 10 minutes early to assist with our welcoming procedures.  

Just a reminder that we are a Nut free environment, so don't forget to check all items coming into the school to ensure they are peanut free. Also please label all 'WOW butter' sandwiches to ensure there is no mistake and undue stress placed on students who have an allergy.

At the end of the day, all bussed students will be dismissed through the front entrance.  All walking students in the K-2 French Immersion will be dismissed through the front entrance door. All English walking students from K-2 will be dismissed through the side door on the north side of the school (right of front entrance when entering school).  Parents picking up students should ensure they identify themselves to the teacher prior to taking their child.  All 3-8 students will be dismissed though their assigned doors. Due to our increased safety measures, parents are asked to wait outside the school.
