Jaden's recommendation from Ms. Doetzel

To Whom It May Concern,

It was an extreme pleasure having Jayden help out in the grade one classroom. Jayden is a polite, kind and very friendly student who was always eager to work with the grade one students. He willingly took on any task or responsibility with enthusiasm.
Jayden often worked one-on-one with students or in small groups. He was responsible for helping students with their sight words; reading with students; working on writing; as well as assisting the teacher with math lessons. Jayden always went above and beyond the teacher’s expectations while working with the grade one students. He also encouraged the students to do their best work and complimented them for their effort. Not only was Jayden a great role model for all the grade one students but he also behaved very professionally throughout.
It was a great privilege getting to know Jayden and having him work in the grade one classroom. I look forward to watching Jayden grow as a student of Marshall School and I am positive we will see many more great accomplishments from Jayden in the future.

Sincerely,


Miss. Lisa Doetzel

Mrs Doetzel's (grade 1) recommendation for Shae-Lynn

It was an extreme pleasure having Shae-Lynn help out in the grade one classroom. Shae-Lynn is a polite, kind and very friendly student who was always eager to work with the grade one students. She built great relationships with the students she worked with and in return the students trusted Shae-Lynn and were excited to work with her. Shae-Lynn willingly took on any task or responsibility with enthusiasm and purpose.

Community Garden

Our last CSL project of the year is the big one. Among the many initiatives we've undertaken, we've done 2 community parties, cleaned up our campus, worked hard in classrooms with younger kids all over the school all year and been of assistance every time we were asked, often of our own volition. We have been recognized by our school division and community agencies and businesses. This one, however, is that for which Marshall School Grade 7 CSL class of 2010-2011 may be most fondly remembered. With the help of a number of parents and some teachers and their spouses, and a wonderful donation by Synergy Credit Union, we built the big flower boxes in that will become the brand new Marshall community garden. The town will deliver the soil and the peat moss tomorrow. The plants, through the generosity of Green Jay Nurseries will arrive shortly thereafter and we will plant them. It's a legacy project: succeeding classes will have the chance to add a feature or two of their own. The class ahead of us, Mrs. McKerchar's grade 8/9 kids,  is considering adding some shade trees already. Pretty cool.
