Get ready for our Third Annual

“TALENT SHOW”

Wednesday – June 20th – 9:00 – 11:45 a.m.

Do you have a talent?  Why not share it with the students of Jack MacKenzie school?  We are looking for students from Grades 1 – 8  to be a part of our annual talent show.  If you would like to participate this year, please have a parent complete the profile below.  All forms are due back by Wednesday May 16^th.  Once all of the profiles are complete, an audition time will be arranged.  The auditions will take place during the lunch hour.    Please understand that not all students who audition will necessarily be in the show.  We are trying to create a diverse program.  Please limit your performance to around 3 minutes or so.

Thank you for your interest and support.

May & June Reminders

Dear Parents,

Wow, we can't believe how quickly the time has passed.  We have two months left with your children.  They are working very hard on their studies. Mrs. Gabriel and I are pleased with the effort of our students.  Just a reminder that students should be checking the blog regularly for assignment due dates and special dates as we have some very busy days ahead of us.  We have been reinforcing the dress code over the past two weeks and appreciate the students' understanding and cooperation.  We thank you for your support! 

Sincerely,

Kelley Reoch
Brenda Gabriel

Welcome Back!

Hello Parents and Students,

Check out the photos below from our Geocaching trip to White Butte and Downtown Regina on Thursday, September 29th.  What a great day we had!  Thank you to Mrs. Glenda Francis and Mrs. Kim Hallard for volunteering!!!! 


 Dear Parents,

This year I am taking on a challenging new role at Jack MacKenzie, acting Vice Principal.  While this will change my role in the senior pod, I will continue to teach Gr.7 Math and Gr. 8 Social Studies. I know from my three previous years at Jack MacKenzie that this is a particularly strong group of senior students, and I look forward to a fun and successful year.

A bit about myself: I have been teaching in the Regina Public School System since 1991. My primary focus as a teacher has been on Gr. 7 and 8, although I have experience with primary and middle years as well. I am eager to work with your children and welcome your participation in their education at Jack MacKenzie. Please contact me for any reason during office hours. Again, I look forward to a terrific year!

Yours truly,

Kelley Reoch

My name is Bree Edwards and I will be working as Mrs. Reoch’s intern this year. I currently hold a degree from the University of Regina is Psychology, but returned to pursue my degree in Education. I am following in the career footsteps of my parents, my mother is a recently retired early elementary school teacher, my father is currently the principal at Campbell Collegiate and my sister is a grade 3/4 teacher at Haultain Elementary School. I am looking forward to working with Mrs. Reoch this year and believe she is an exemplary teacher from whom I have much to learn. I believe that Jack Mackenzie School is one of the finest educational facilities in the city and will provide an ideal environment for my professional development. I am really looking forward to the experiences and opportunities that the students and I will encounter together.

My name is Brenda Gabriel and I am honored to have the opportunity to join the Jack Mackenzie School family.  Our family has just moved to Regina from Tisdale, where I have taught for 23 years in a variety of schools, grade levels and subject areas. My husband works  in the city. Our two sons are attending the U of R in the Faculties of Education and Engineering.  At Jack MacKenzie,  I will be sharing a Gr. 7/8 classroom with Mrs. Reoch , teaching ELA, Fitness and Visual Arts, as well as, half time Learning Resource Teacher.   I look forward to an amazing 2011-2012 school year.  I thank you, in advance, for the opportunity to share in the excitement of learning with your child.
