“WE MOVE MOUNTAINS”

We hope that all students and parents of Rundle College Academy had a restful spring break. It was great to see all the students back on Monday morning ready to get back to work. The first days here at the Academy have been business as usual and we are looking forward to three more months of helping the students dis-cover their potential and celebrating with them when they do!

Last month, we had the opportunity to see so many wonderful things happen here at the Academy. In case you missed them, I’d like to take this opportu-nity to highlight the hard work of our fac-ulty and students.

The ESP – Entrepreneurial Spirit Pro-ject is an initiative created by Mr. Keith van der Meer that encouraged our kids to use their divergent thinking skills. The project asked each student to think of what they could do with a Pringles can that would satisfy the triple bottom line of ethical business: profit, planet, and peo-ple. Students came up with everything from soccer nets to home decorating items, but in the end, it was a music speaker system that brought home the first prize. The staff and students put their best foot forward and demonstrated what true creativity is!

Right on the heels of the ESP, came the annual Academy Talent Show. This year’s theme was Academy Idol and it did not disappoint. The students demon-strated talent in all areas of entertainment from music, to dance, to singing. The talent show has improved each and every year and this year was not an exception! Again, the display of creativity during this event was exceptional!

Lastly, over spring break we had 15 of our Grade 11 and 12 students go to Gua-

temala with the organization Hearts and Hands. During their time away, the stu-dents built stoves for rural villagers. Each of the students had a transformative ex-perience and they are bringing their new life experiences back to their interactions at the school level. To selflessly give back demonstrates the highest level of personal responsibility we could ever ask for. I would like to personally thank Ms. Nancy Patience for donating her spring break to this worthwhile cause. Her ef-forts to organize and supervise this trip are exceptional. Bravo!

To mention these three highlights is just scratching the surface of all the activity here at the Academy. Moving forward, we know that the coming three months will be equally exciting! In the midst of all the action, we hope that students, par-ents and staff take a few moments and reflect on the success we have already seen. May and June will be filled with celebrations of learning, Grade 12 Graduation, Moves Mountains Breakfast, and Academy Awards Day to name a few, and we hope to see many of you join us in one or more of these activities.

One-to-One Program - Coming to Rundle Academy!

Rundle Academy is looking forward to a new initiative in 2013-2014, the one-to-one technology program. During the past 18 months, Rundle Academy has been working hard in preparation for this move and we are excited that the school is moving forward with the initiative in Sep-tember of 2013. Briefly, Grade 4-6 stu-dents will be issued an iPad and Grade 7-12 students will all be issued a MacBook Air. In addition to these technology sup-plies, there will be class sets of laptops and a technology-enabled remediation lab for the Elementary and iPad class

SO C I E T Y NE W S

We are on the home stretch of the school year. Grade twelve students will be writing Diploma Examinations in June as they finish their last year of high school. All ac-commodations for writing Diploma Exams are in place, so we expect a smooth finish to their school year. Graduating students will be soon embarking on the next phase of their lives. Some of our graduating students are taking a “gap” year, where they will be working and plan-ning their post-secondary studies, which they will be start-ing in September of 2014. Many have applied and been accepted at universities, colleges and technical institutes. At this time, some of our students have already heard they have been accepted at schools such as: Queen’s University, University of Calgary, St. Mary’s University, Simon Fraser University, University of Victoria, Olds Col-lege and SAIT. As interim transcripts just went out before

spring break, we expect to hear that students have been accepted at the University of British Columbia and Memo-rial University. Grade ten and eleven students were given the opportunity to receive information about post-secondary admission requirements both inside and outside the province of Al-berta, with the intent of helping students choose the proper courses in their grade eleven and twelve years. Grade nine students have been receiving special atten-tion in terms of the learning about high school programs. It is a brand new system of education at high school, and it involves understanding high school course credits, the achievement levels needed to continue in a subject area, as well as the necessary courses needed to achieve a high school diploma.

sets for the Junior and Senior High. To support this program, we have initiated an annual technology fee for all stu-dents in the school. The fee is $200 for the Elementary students and $450 for Junior and Senior high students. This fee will help the student support the ubiquitous technology implementation. We thank all the parents who joined us at Parent Advisory Council meetings and at our parent information evenings around this topic. The input and support all parents have provided has been invaluable.

Donations Rundle College Academy has been blessed with some very generous contributions to our upcoming technology initia-tive. Many parents have stepped up and volunteered to support another family in assisting with the technology fee and we would like to thank each and every one of them. This generosity will allow us to make the transition to the one to one program as seamless as possible. Rundle Academy continues to improve and it is because of the dedication of our staff, students and parents. It is obvi-ous that whether people are helping with volunteer hours, personal expertise or financial contributions, everybody is pitching in and we are making a huge difference in the lives of the students who attend Rundle College Academy. A big thank-you to each and every person who continues to help us move Rundle College Academy from good to great.

After graduating from Rundle Academy in 2006, I enrolled in an undergraduate degree in Political Science at the Uni-versity of Calgary. During this time I also played on the Men’s Varsity Soccer Team for four years. I just recently graduated from the program and I am currently working part-time for WestJet and in construction work. I have ambi-tions to become a commercial airline pilot and I will begin training this April. I still miss playing high school basketball at Rundle, and I can’t believe how fast the time has gone by! Life comes at you fast! I wish all the graduates the best in their future endeavours!

Afterwards, Matt led the students through a songwrit-ing workshop. They learned about the basic elements of songwriting and composed a song about the Calgary Olympics!

The winners of Academy Idol:

Academy Idol Academy Idol (formerly known as The Rundle Talent Show) was a huge success! Thanks to the students and teachers who performed. You all did a fantastic job and you came out really prepared. All of your hard work definitely paid off! Thank you to all of the teachers who helped with the organizing, set-up and clean up. And special thanks to our awesome judges. They really got into character, and the show would not have been the same without them.

The grade four and five students spent the day at Fort Calgary on March 7th. The students were introduced to the stories of Capatin Deane and the Deane house. Students also learned what it was like to be a Mountie under Captain Deane as they went on patrol: seeking evidence throughout the mu-seum and even throwing a wanted man in jail! The students dressed up in period costume and immersed themselves in the roles of Calgary’s past. It was a great day of learning about Calgary's history!

GL E N B OW MU S E U M On March 12, 2013, the students in Grades 4 and 5 went on a field trip to explore the Glenbow Mu-seum as part of the Social Studies curriculum. This interactive experience provided the students with a glimpse into Canada’s past while stressing the immense importance the fur trade played in establishing the country of Canada. Students especially enjoyed the hands-on activities and visual displays which helped to demonstrate what living in early Canada would have been like and to reinforce concepts learned in class.

GUA TE M A L A TR I P This past spring break 15 Rundle Academy students and 4 Rundle College students, along with Ms. Baird, Ms. Patience and Mr. Eremko traveled to Guatemala for a cultural exchange. During their stay, along with the organization Hearts and Hands, the students built 150 new stoves for Mayan families in Uspantan and surrounding villages. During their stay the students were able to gain awareness of the beauty of Mayan culture and the wonderful and generous people who live there. Our students were outstanding ambas-sadors not only for our school but for Canada.

duBerger, Empey, Midkiff, Matus and a Wrestling Camp

WR E S T L I N G

Brock duBerger captured the gold medal at the Calgary High School Wrestling Championships on March 1st, soundly defeating his oppo-nents on the mat. Teammate Luke Empey also fared well at the tour-nament, earning a spot to represent Calgary at the Provincial Cham-pionships in Edmonton. Once at the big show, Brock made it to the gold medal match once again, but barely lost in the dying seconds in a contest that he wishes he could do over again! Regardless, we are most proud of both of these Rockies wrestlers for making it so far in the season.

A special commendation goes out to our three graduating wrestlers: Brock duBerger, Luke Empey and Will Midkiff for their contribution to the wrestling program over the past three years in high school. These were the original wrestlers that got the high school program on its feet and made a name for the school. If our younger wrestlers continue the legacies of these three athletes, then our school’s wres-tling will surely thrive in future years.

We also need to recognize Sadie Matus, who attended the age-class Provincial Wrestling Championships and won the gold medal! To say that Sadie dominates her wrestling division in Alberta is a profound understatement. Her potential to upgrade her Provincial title to a National one in future years is very realistic and we can’t wait to see how she shines in the next few years.

Finally, any athletes born in 1995 to 2000 are invited to attend the annual Rocky Mountain Wrestling Camp in Jasper on July 14 – 19, 2013. The best wrestlers and coaches in the province gather for this fantastic event that typically of-fers past Olympic medalists as guest coaches. Please see Mr. Sylven for more information and an application.

After four months of exciting action, the 8/9 boys’ basketball team wrapped up their season on the weekend of March 2-3rd at the South Central Zone Championships in Linden, AB. After a tremen-dous regular season, the team finished with a 10-1 record. In tournament play we received bronze at the Rocky Mountain classic in Canmore and gold at St. Anthony’s Invitational. Unfortunately, during league playoffs we came up a bit short by losing by 1 basket in the city semi-finals. The team endured and won the bronze medal game several days later. Circumstances, however, were in our favour and the Rockies were given a birth to the South Central Zone Championships in Linden. After cruising through the preliminary games, once again, we were to meet our archrivals from Clear Water Academy in the final. In what would have to be considered one of the most exciting finals at the South Central Zone Championships, the Rock-ies lost by one bucket in overtime. Mr. Paz is so proud of the boys’ efforts all year long. Congratu-lations and a job well done!

Badminton season is coming to a quick end with athletes

having competed in preliminary tournaments the first week

back from Spring Break. Congratulations to all athletes who

have represented Rundle Academy with pride, demonstrat-

ing strong sportsmanship and respect for their opponents.

April 16th marks the date for the ISAA City Championships.

Good luck to all athletes. GO ROCKIES!

Active transpor-tation means choosing human power over motor power as a way to get from place to place.

By leaving the car at home more often and opting instead for walk-ing, biking, roller-blading, skiing or snowshoeing, we can improve our personal health as well as reduce our impact on the en-vironment.

Remember – every bit of activ-ity counts! Try to work up to 60 minutes of physi-

Grocery shopping the healthy way starts with plan-ning ahead.

Before your next visit to the grocery store, try to think of how your week will look and plan your menu accordingly.

To prepare a healthy gro-cery list, try to include on your list foods from all four food groups from Eating Well with Canada’s Food Guide (Vegetables and Fruit, Grain Products, Milk and

Alternatives and Meat and Alternatives). Once your list is ready to go, try to plan your next trip to the grocery store for a time of the day when you are not tired or hungry and have enough time to read labels and look at the nutrition facts table.

Preparing a grocery shop-ping list will help you and your family plan your meals, purchase healthier foods and save time and money.

To prepare a healthy grocery list, try to in-clude on your list foods from all four food groups.

Sodium is a mineral found in all foods, largely found in salt. It is needed for your body to function, but most Canadians eat more sodium than they need.

Here are some tips to help you choose and prepare foods that are lower in so-dium.

Enjoy fresh foods more often, such as fruits, vege-tables, fish, meat, and poul-try. These tend to be natu-rally lower in sodium. Use herbs, spices, lemon juice, garlic, onion, and salt-free seasoning mixes to add flavour to foods. Read food labels and look

for the phrases, “sodium-free”, “low sodium”, or “no added salt” when buying canned or frozen foods. The % Daily Value is a quick overview of how much or how little of a nutrient is in the food. Five per cent or less: a little bit of the nutrient (for

sodium, choose these foods more often) 15 per cent or greater: a lot of the nutrient.
