October 18 Update

Dear Parents,
The first few weeks have been very  busy in our classroom.  We have been establishing routines and expectations for student behaviour.
The kids are enjoying morning chapels and art and music classes especially. This first week of October is the start of Spelling Lessons as well as our first community outreach.  We will be ministering to the folks at Orchard Manor on Thurs. afternoon.

Dear Parents,

Hello! Mrs. Degamo here, It's my pleasure to be the Grade 3 & 4 teacher this school year. It has been a wonderful September with your kids and I am very thrilled that I get to know them each day and get to experience their sweetness and kindness. Their eagerness to learn and their enthusiasm makes me love my profession more.They have been an inspiration to me as I start my teaching career here in Canada.

        I look forward to working with you and your child this year. I am excited to be part of your child's learning journey and I hope we get to collaborate for a productive school year. This month of October will be a fun month for your kids since we will start our outreach program and swimming lessons for Grade 3 and 4. We will keep you updated for the upcoming activities.If you have any concerns you can reach me at rielyn.degamo@newellchristianschool.com. Thank you so much and have a great day!

JH is very busy these days. We are continuing to be part of the outreach program and will be starting a classical education deep dive into the books of the Bible starting on Thursday. The kids are also researching their favourite bible story and creating an artifact about it in their Language Arts. In Social Studies we are continuing learning about Parliament and how laws are made.  

Hello, I'm Mrs. Lauber; and I am absolutely thrilled to be teaching Grade 5/6 teacher here at NCS!  My passion for education burns brightly, and it is my philosophy to ignite a lifelong love for learning into the hearts of my students. By nurturing curiosity, cultivating creativity, and promoting critical thinking, I will work to empower my students to become lifelong learners who find joy in uncovering new ideas and opportunities. While my journey as a teacher may be just beginning, I bring fresh perspectives, boundless energy, and a deep commitment to fostering a love for learning. In our classroom, Christian values are not merely concepts; they serve as the cornerstone upon which we construct character, kindness, and faith. I am honoured to be set in an environment where we can incorporate Biblical truths into all subject areas, nurture the seeds of faith and conduct ourselves with love, compassion, and resilience. I am grateful and honoured to share that I graduated from Liberty University in May of 2023, a place where I was a student-athlete playing collegiate hockey. I recently moved across the country from Virginia to Alberta with my husband and 3 LARGE dogs: Loki, Goose and Duck, and I am expecting my first child in December! Though my time at NCS may be short due to the arrival of my baby; I pray that together, we will embark on a journey of growth, discovery, and faith which will leave a lasting impact on your child’s life.
