As we near the end of December and approach Winter Break, I cannot help but fall victim the spirit of the season. The familiar holiday jingles that greet you in stores, on television and on the radio somehow trigger the excitement of the holidays, inspire togetherness and have us looking forward to spending time with family and friends. As we consider these notions, some popular Christmas carols have helped me reflect on our past 4 months together and frame just how amazing the staff and students at Rundle Academy are:

Do you Hear what I Hear?

Winter Wonderland

Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer

The start of September brought with it a winter storm that definitely challenged our resolve and the running of our start of the year orientation camps in the junior high and elementary. However, with true grit and innovation camps ran effectively and helped our students connect outside of the classroom setting up trusting relationships that have persisted into this year's end.

It is no secret that there is something very special about each and everyone one of our students. Our staff know this and you, the parents, know this. The best part about Rundle Academy is that the students begin to identify this in themselves and begin to experience the confidence and success they have always been capable of.

Joy to the World Our focus on kindness this year truly has had staying power. Our deciduous kindness trees from November have transformed into evergreens just in time for the holidays. Our Kids Helping Kids group continue to inspire and spread joy with all their hard work and efforts. The holiday season alone has seen them help children abroad through Operation Christmas Child, helping three families in need with our Adopt-a-Family initiative among many others. Finally, Alma Mater day saw all divisions unite in showing support for our grade 12s and their future exploits following their graduation this year.

I hear the sound of a thriving and caring community of learners. Whether it be one of our many sports teams, our student council, our recent drama productions or TA periods in the morning.

Rundle Academy prides itself on being a community. I am very proud of how our students model this community each and every day. Rundle Academy is not only a place where students experience success academically, it is also a place where they learn to care for each other.

Thanks for a tremendous 4 months and your continued support. We look forward to further success and growth in the new year.

Wishing you happy holidays spent with family and friends.

P A R E N T A DV I S O RY C O U N C I L At our last meeting Kellie Adams, Head of Math and Science, led parents through the Rundle Academy Math Program from grade 4 through 12.

Our PAC would like to thank Mrs. Kellie Adams for her time and commitment to ensuring our program continues to support and further our students understanding of math. If you were unable to make the meeting, PAC minutes are posted and archived in the Administrative Portal of Moodle, have a look.

IN THEIR OWN WORDS How Our Alumni Continue to Move Mountains Alumnus Brent Ady ‘05 After graduating from Rundle Academy, my life took some unexpected paths. Like many students, I didn‟t quite know what I wanted to do after school. I decided to go right into university and attended BYUIdaho. To be honest, I hated every second of it. I decided to drop out and seek other avenues for a career. Unfortunately, without a degree or any other training, I found myself in the lawn care business for a large land developer. I worked for two years before being promoted to foreman and running a crew of five people. As I continued to do this job, I realized that I wanted to do something greater with my life than simply mow the same patch of grass day in and day out. Eventually, this lead me to return to BYU-I with a fresh perspective and a desire to learn. While still trying to figure out

what I wanted to major in, I was presented with an opportunity to go on a two-year service mission for my church. I travelled away from home to Michigan, USA and I tried to help bring some happiness to people who had lost their own path. I found that helping others, helped me to redefine my future endeavours. Since my mission, I have been back in school for three years pursuing a degree in Psychology. I graduate this winter. This is exciting and somewhat unbelievable, since I barely made it through high school. If it wasn‟t for the patience of my teachers, I wouldn‟t be where I am today. As for my future, I‟m currently getting ready to apply for grad school to pursue my dream of becoming a Child Psychologist, so that I can help others.

ALMA MATER DAY On December 2nd, as a way to celebrate our upcoming graduates, staff and students participated in a Rundle Academy Alma Mater Day. Staff donned their best University attire, while students gave advice and displayed their hopes and dreams for their future. Sparking many interesting conversations between graduates and teachers, students were able to see the pride each teacher has for their Alma Mater.

RUNDLE ACADEMY SPEAKER SERIES Information Evening For Parents and Students January 8, 2015 It’s Test Time! - Making these as successful with as little stress as possible‌.

January 15, 2015 Junior High School Orientation and High School Orientation * All Grade 6 and Grade 9 Parents and Students When we return from winter break, we will be very excited to host two parent nights in January.

Firstly, there will be a talk on examination preparation. With mid terms and high school finals at the end of the month, reminders of study strategies and test preparation skills will be well received by parents and students, alike.

Later in the month, our Grade 9 and Grade 6 parents and students are asked to come to an information evening about high school and junior high. Grade 9s will be hosted by Mrs. Jordan and be exposed to life in high school and all it has to offer. Discussions around curriculum, credit systems and extra curriculars will frame this informative evening.

That same night, the Grade 6s will learn what to expect in Junior High by Mr. Burla. Academic responsibilities, option classes and extra curriculars guide the discussion around what makes junior high a very exciting time at Rundle Academy.

SPEECH AND DEBATE TEAM This year marks the first year that Rundle Academy has had a Speech and Debate team registered with the ADSA (Alberta Debate & Speech Association). Junior High students have been working hard during the last few months, developing, practicing and performing their speeches at various tournaments around Calgary. A big congratulations to those students who have participated. It takes a lot of courage to stand up in front of a group of people and speak! On Saturday, December 6th, three members

of our team attended the Speech Regional Tournament.

All students put on excellent performances, and Zander Clay in grade 7, was fortunate enough to place 2 nd in his category of Original Oratory. He will be representing the Rundle Academy Speech Team at Provincials in January.

The rest of the team is now shifting focus to debate and will have an opportunity to compete in the New Year. Go Rockies!

FINE ARTS - DRAMA

Our winter production was The Brothers Grimm Spectaculathon which ran from December 9th-12th in the Fine Arts Centre. A madcap retelling of some classic fairy tales, this show had everything: love, death, and crab people!

A big congratulations goes out to Sawyer Figol who won the Rising Star Award and Ciaran Bailey who won the Shining Star Award as voted on by the cast and crew of the show. Thanks goes out to all the hardworking students who made the show a possibility. Thanks also to all who came out to watch the performances!

Stay tuned for our spring production!

KIDS HELPING KIDS Kids Helping Kids: This is the Season of Giving Back Operation Shoebox!

On December 1st, Ms. Kapitza, Ms. Irick and Mrs. Speidel took a group of 10 amazing students to the warehouse of Operation Christmas Child for their annual volunteer shift to sort and pack shoe boxes filled with gifts for deserving children all over the world! This year the boxes from the Calgary processing centre were being sent to children in Guatemala, the Ukraine and different countries in Africa that have been affected by the Ebola crisis. In the 2-hour shift, that seemed to be over within a blink of an eye, the processing centre (for the first time this season) broke the 5000 mark and packaged 5041 shoe boxes to be sent overseas!

Poinsettia Fundraiser / CUPS Shopping Trip Thank you to all the families that supported our Holiday Poinsettia fundraiser!

With your help and generosity, Kids Helping Kids raised close to $3000 which will help support the families of CUPS (Calgary Urban Project Society).

On December 7th, Ms. Kapitza and Mrs. Speidel took eight students to buy much needed supplies and toys for families in need. The eight students (Aaron Clark, Chloe Schotanus, Fatima Mehdi, Amanda Petti, Taya Colwell, Elisabeth Faircloth-Nunn, David Samuels and Sarah Reeder) worked very hard calculating totals and keeping track of the money they could spend. In total, the group spent just over $2000 on toiletries, baby necessities, household items and toys.

KIDS HELPING KIDS CONT’D Rundle Academy Adopt-A-Family This year, in support with Kids Helping Kids, Rundle Academy is adopting three deserving families through NeighbourLink. There are three Christmas trees set up with tags listing the requested gifts for each family. Thank you to all the families that have generously taken tags and help to make this holiday season a more happy time with these families. Gifts should be wrapped with the original label attached and are due by Monday, December 15th. On December 17th, Ms. Kapitza and Mrs. Whiting will be taking a group of students to deliver these gifts to the adopted families. Thank you for helping to bring some light and holiday cheer to the less fortunate!

Christmas Party Elves On December 14th, a group of excited students will become Santa‟s Helpers as they join the Rundle College Society families at their annual Children‟s Christmas Party. These students are volunteering their time to help play with the young children of Rundle Society staff. We ho-ho-hope they have a wonderful time!

Community Helpers The Kids Helping Kids program is excited to be providing a new in-school initiative called, "Community Helpers," to train students in Junior High and Senior High School (Grades 8 to 12) to be knowledgeable and effective peer supporters. The program is taking place over three Friday afternoons, in conjunction with the Canadian Mental Health Society. It is in full swing and we are looking forward to having these trained peer supporters on board and available for their fellow students!

Once again, thank you for all your support!

J U N I O R H I G H M Y S T E RY H A N G O U T S What do Duchess, Lac du Bonnet, Vaughan, Leduc, and Waukegan, Illinois have in common?

These are the locations of classes the Junior High recently collaborated with to complete a mystery hangout focusing on the CORE value of communication.

At this point you may be asking, what is a mystery hangout? A mystery hangout is a Google Hangout in which both parties are meeting for the first time. The goal is to ask a series of yes or no questions to narrow down the geographic location of the other class.

To prep for our first mystery hangout experience TA groups in the junior high paired up and conducted a practice hangout to guess the pretend mystery location of the other group. Students learned a lot about what it means to ask a quality question as well as the importance of listening.

Some groups were able to figure out where their partner class was. Once the guessing was over, this allowed for the classes to get to know each other a bit better.

One class, matched up with Mrs. Adams and Ms. Kopp‟s classes was in Vaughan, Ontario. The class consisted of junior high students at Nellie McClung Public School.

Their main questions were about whether or not students liked wearing a uniform to school each day. Although the resounding answer around the room was no, Rundle Academy students did end by telling them – it sure makes it easy to get dressed in the morning.

The conversation with the class in Vaughan ended in a very Canadian way. Both classes asked, “What‟s the weather like there?”

When the big day arrived, TA groups came together to divide and conquer. The first order of business was to divide into roles. Students discovered that a bit of order and organization goes a long way! Some students really wanted to be on camera, while others preferred to be behind the scenes as part of the “think tank” that came up with the next question based on the answers provided by the other class. Learning about different roles that needed filled, as well as being a good communicator, was key to successful questioning.

P O E T RY C A F E Many good things are happening during the literacy block in the elementary and junior high at Rundle Academy. This is a block of time built in to the schedule four times per week to work in leveled groups. Each group has a specific area of focus based on the needs of the students which include: decoding skills, building fluency and increasing comprehension. The past few months, Ms. Kapitza‟s fluency group had been focusing on building and improving oral fluency through reading poetry. As a culmination and celebration of all the hard work done by her group, they hosted a Poetry Cafe for other classes and staff to attend. During the various sessions, the classroom was converted into a dimly lit cafe where the class could perform their chosen poems for the audience as they sipped on hot chocolate. Each poem was read with inflection, carefully recognizing punctuation and keeping a good pace. The poems were well received by the audience which was conveyed through snapping instead of clapping. All in all, it was a groovy time had by all. Mr. Burla said it best via Twitter, “Poetry Cafe in fluency class. Great pace and inflection, Cool Cats!”

On Monday, December 1st, the grade four and five classes embraced the cold weather for a field trip to the zoo. The morning was spent indoors experimenting with solar and wind technology as part of a program entitled We Have the Power. The students tested circuits, magnets, mini versions of photovoltaics, and wind turbines to determine the best weather for maximum voltage. They discovered how whale fins and butterfly wings are inspiring future innovations in energy conservation. Students observed alternative technologies first-hand and learned ways to conserve energy in their own homes. The afternoon was spent exploring animals in their habitats before returning to the school.

The Social Studies Grade 7 classes had the opportunity to visit Heritage Park for the Paddlers and Partners Program in November. This included an introductory simulation to learn about the Fur Trade, as well as a presentation about the life of a voyageur. Students learned about the various roles and social structure of the Fur Trade. Afterwards, they learned about what it would take to become a voyageur in an engaging presentation filled with song and a paddling lesson. This gave them an excellent introduction to Chapter 4 of the Social Studies course which includes learning about the five different stages of the Fur Trade.

JUNIOR HIGH PHYSICAL EDUCATION The last number of weeks have been jammed packed in Junior High Phys. Ed. We have participated in our basketball unit, as the actual season is now upon us.

We also had the benefit of two outside groups coming in to present their programs to us.

The first was

Rocks and Rings, a national curling program, who brought curling experience to our students. This was a lot of fun and we certainly look forward to next yearâ€&#x;s visit. Our second visitor was Cody Jackson, a dance instructor, who came in and taught all our junior high the history and steps of hip hop dance. The students had a great time busting a move!

J U N I O R H I G H B OY S B A S K E T B A L L 2014-2015 Junior Boys 8/9 Basketball Team A core squad of 12 gentlemen will suit up this season for the 8/9 Basketball team. Some new faces, together with some returning veterans, make up a group with some impressive chemistry. Led by 10 grade 9‟s, the squad is eager to be competitive once again this year.

“These boys are talented, there is no doubt about that, but they have a lot to work on if we want to win the banner again this year,” says Coach Chris Paz. “If they continue to work hard, come to practices and work as a team, the sky is the limit for these exciting players,” added Coach Eric Vesey.

With many long term Rundle Academy Basketball players, the team has some veteran leadership and experience to build from. The future of the program looks very bright with some extremely talented young men poised to take leadership roles over the next few years.

The 8/9 Boys have been hitting the courts extremely hard with many hours of practice and several preseason games under their belt. They will open the regular season at home in the new year when they host Foothills

Academy at 4:00 p.m. on January 8th. Good luck boys!

RUNDLE COLLEGE FOOTBALL Rundle Football – Provincial Semi-finalists Congratulations to the Rundle Football Team on an outstanding season. We had drawn the #1 Ranked Cardson Cougars for our quarter final game, a tall task for any program. Not many people gave us a chance to beat them, but our boys believed in themselves and each other, and we shocked the football world, winning a nail-biter by a score of 14-8. We felt very strongly going into the semi-finals that this could be our year.

Unfortunately for the team, our season was cut short by a heartbreaking 31-10 loss against Cochrane High School. The score was 14-10 going into half-time, but unfortunately we had some key players succumb to injury which sealed our fate. Cochrane went on to march through their opponent in the finals and claim the Tier III provincial championship. The boys fought their hearts out in that game however and left everything on the field.

The entire Rundle coaching staff is very proud of the way our boys played and we are already excited about next year and the fresh young faces we will have going into next season. The goal next year will be to once again claim our Big Rock League Championship and challenge for the Tier III Provincial Championship. We will work our hardest to make that goal a reality.

Thank you to all the students, parents and staff for their encouragement and support in helping us fully experience this great season.

ROCKIES WRESTLING November was a busy month with wrestling in which Rundle Academy offers the program from Elementary to High School.

The team practices Monday to Wednesday after school and Tuesdays the team travels to Rundle College to train with the Cobras. We have had a terrific turnout and our Junior High Lunch Room turns itself into a great training center with up to 25 athletes during practice.

On November 14th, Elementary and Junior High students travelled to Arbor Lake for a novice tournament. It was a tournament of firsts. Some of our athletes faced their very first competition, some faced their first loss, win and pin. Regardless of the outcome, our team battled hard and gained valuable mat experience.

On November 28th, the team travelled by bus through a winter blizzard to compete at Captain Nichola Goddard for the Phoenix Invitational. Although due to the severe weather the numbers were thinned considerably, the talent was as steep as ever. Some of the best wrestlers from the NW showed their enthusiasm to compete. Our team learned a few new moves and had some very successful results.

December 6th, the team travelled to the University of Calgary Jack Simpson Gym and wrestled at the Dino's hosted Calgary Junior Olympics. We had a solid team of both novice and senior wrestlers who competed well and made all of Rundle Academy proud.

This past week on Monday, December 15th, the entire program competed in the CISAA Championships. The Junior High team took a 4th place title in the 2J category and a 4th place title in the High School category. There were some excellent matches and all of our wrestlers made the coaching staff, parents and teachers very proud. Athletes, your dedication and hard work was witnessed by your school community . Walk tall today!

A huge thank you to everyone who helped out in the tournament from both students and staff. It was amazing to see the support for the wrestling program. A huge wrestler bear hug to you all.

Thank you once again to our wrestling families who have committed to the program and have made this season a success. The wrestling program and community at Rundle Academy is alive and well and we look forward to our High School Program achieving their best after the break.

The boys travelled to Waldorf School to compete against seven other teams from Calgary and the surrounding area.
