Gardening
Starting this April, the MEC members have put ina lotof effort into building and maintaining Magee's first garden (located outside the music hallway). Even in this cold weather, the garden is attended to on a regular basis. These gardening sessions occur every Wednesday after school and Friday at lunch.
Shed-building began this early October. MEC members, leaders, sponsors, and parent volunteers came out every Sunday and Wednesday to tackle this project. We bought a kit with all the needed materials andfollowed a manual that came with this package. The students did lots of hands-on work and learned from the adults various skills, such asmeasuring, nailing, and using different tools. We also stained the outside of the completed shed to protect it from external harm (i.e. harsh weather conditions).
An announcement of public appreiciation to Mr. Wally Lee (parent volunteer) and Ms. Katalina Sewerin (sponsor teacher), without whom we couldn't havecompleted this project. Thank you foryour dedication and committment!
Recently (November), we have finished building our storage shed. After we move it to its designated area, you will be able to see it when you visit the garden! The shed will be used to store gardening tools, supplies, and some dried-up harvests such as garlic.We are planning to put in some shelves to maximize the usage of space.
On Nov. 5th (Saturday), Metro Vancouver is hosting a Youth Clinic on sustainable foods. The Magee Garden is one of their destinations of the day! From 11:15 to 12:30, Garden Leaders of the MEC will share our stories and experiences with students from all over Metro Vancouver, and we will puttogether hoop houses aroundtwo of the garden boxes to grow foods during the winter. This will be an exciting event to look forward to!
Cheers to winter-gardening!

Tutoring Club
Meeting times: None, very flexible! The tutoring club is open to all grades and there are about 60 members! The best thing about this club is that it is extremely flexible. Once a student signs up to tutor a certain subject, Mrs. Tanabe will match them with any request or students that needs tutoring. Students will record their tutoring hours and with every hour, they will receive a volunteer point. All points earned will go toward the service certificate at the end of the year. These students do not need to be a genius, they just need to be willing and encouraging. While helping others, students are also reviewing the subject for themselves which is a great study method. Students in the higher grades will need service hours in order to graduate, and tutoring club is a great way to start! "Learning is finding out what you already know. Doing is demonstrating that you know it. Teaching is reminding others that they know it just as well as you. You are all learners, doers, teachers" - Richard Bach Global Connections Club
Meeting times: Every other Wednesdays at lunch In the Global Connections Club, students discuss world issues such as poverty, injustice, discrimination, refugees, and many problems around the world. The club has around 30 members and is sponsored by three teachers: Mr. Latimer, Mr. Philips, and Mr. Scott. We also do a project locally in vancouver, with some fund raising involved. There will also be guest speakers, gilms and lots of group activities. Update from October 2011: Our bottle drive on October 22nd finished a stunning success. We filled over two truckloads of cans and bottles, and collected over $1600 to build a school in Guatemala and sponsor girls to go to school in Kenya. Thank you to all the students, parents, staff and community members who contributed to and helped make this event happen. If there are any questions about our club or our projects, please email us at mageegcc@gmail.com Update from Sept 2010: Everyon'es invited. Bring a friend, bring a lunch, bring your ideas.

New Shoots is a creative writing program co-sponsored by USB & UBC. A creative writing student from UBC will come to Magee eight times in the fall/winter to run workshops based on student writing. Students get the chance to talk about creative writing (all forms) and to get specific feedback on their own work. In the spring, the USB publishes an anthology of work coming from the workshop. MCF Club Meeting times: Friday after school to 3:00pm. MCF(Magee Christian Fellowship) is a club that welcomes all, Christians and non-Christians. We are mostly led by students especially the 'older' members of the club, and we concentrate on providing spiritual support to students (and staff!) who desire it. We try to meet towards or at the end of a week where everyone could unwind as well as bring up any concerns, present or upcoming, that they would like us to pray for. When we meet, we alternate between a cariety of acitvities such as song singing, discussions on topics brought up by students, and most important of all, praying for each other. Queen Alex Club Magee’s Queen Alex Club was formed in September 2004, with hopes that the partnership would help Magee achieve the goal of improving social responsibility and community awareness. Queen Alexandra Elementary is an inner-city school located on the Vancouver eastside. A significant percentage of students at this school face challenges related to the inner city designation: single parent families, substance abuse, poverty, and illiteracy. Today the Magee Queen Alex club has more than forty members, sponsors five or more fundraisers a year, and strives to strengthen the bond between Magee and Queen Alexandra students. |

Ski and Snowboard Club time: late october (listen for PA announcements and look for posters) This club is sponsored by Ms. Mugford and Mrs. Coates. You go outside, and you go skiing and snowboarding. Can you guess what the club is? You should be able to, because it's in the title. THE SKI AND SNOWBOARD CLUB! The ski and snowboard club is one of many clubs available to the students at Magee. It’s been a very popular club among the students at Magee. Who wouldn’t want to skip a day of school and go out in the snow and just “Whack Out”?. There is a slight fee to join the club but it guarantees you 5 trips to Whistler Blackcomb throughout the year. Whistler Blackcomb is a ski resort in Whistler, BC, Canada. It opened in 1966 with a gondola lift, a double chair lift, and a T – Bar, which is another system that is used to transport people up the mountain. As you can tell, it’s improved a lot since then. Now they’ve got a bike park and also high-speed quad chairlifts. |
