Parent Teacher Conferences

In continuing to follow current guidelines from Manitoba Health, Parent Teacher Conferences will be held
virtually using Microsoft Teams. The same process will be followed as we used in November. Parents will be
able to book slots with teachers for a 10 minute time slot over a two day period on March 18th from 4-8, or on
March 19th from 9-12.
In order to book a slot, use the following link.
https://outlook.office365.com/owa/calendar/CollgeLoretteCollegiate@studentsrsd.onmicrosoft.com/bookings/
Select the Staff, and then click on either the 18th or the 19th, and select a time slot. Input your name, email ad-
dress, and phone number. Indicate the student who will be be discussed and then submit. You will then receive
an email with a link to your appointment.

At the time of your appointment, follow the link and you will automatically enter a Teams video chat meeting
with the teacher. If you are using a computer, no additional software is required. However, if you are using a
phone, the Microsoft Teams app needs to be installed.
https://apps.apple.com/us/app/microsoft-teams/id1113153706 for Iphone users.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.microsoft.teams for Android users
If you want to book appointments with multiple teachers you will need to click the above link again for each
booking.
If you do not have adequate internet access to use Microsoft Teams in your home, then a phone conference
may be arranged for. These phone appointments will be limited based on the number of phones available at the
school. In order to book an appointment, you will need to email the teacher to arrange a time. A teacher's email
can be found using the format: Firstname.Lastname@srsd.ca. For example, the email for Teresa Yestrau is
teresa.yestrau@srsd.ca
If there are any difficulties with booking appointments, please contact the school office.

Entretien avec Mme.Haines
                                               Par Alycia et Danika

Mme. Haines est une nouvelle enseignante au Collège Lorette
Collegiate. Elle enseigne des classes de la 9e, 10e et de la 12e année
Nous nous sommes assises avec Mme. Haines et on l’a posé des
questions au sujet de ‘Qui est Mme. Jessica Haines?’. Voici ce que
nous avons découvert!
Mme Haines a fait ses études à l’Université du Manitoba et à
l’Université d’Ottawa. Ça fait déjà sept ans qu’elle enseigne et elle est
une excellente enseignante. Elle a décidé de poursuivre sa carrière
dans l’enseignement parce qu’un de ses anciens enseignant l’a dit
qu’elle ferait une bonne enseignante, il avait raison!
L'enseignement n’était pas son premier choix de carrière. Lorsqu’elle
était jeune, elle voulait être une comédienne (actor). Cette année, elle
aide à la troupe du Festival Théâtre Jeunesse avec leur production
virtuelle. Elle a beaucoup de talents cachés et elle aime une variété de

Hockey Day in CLC

 Having Phys Ed classes forced to be
outside has led to some creative ways
to be active this winter. With the help
 of some students, Mr. Mamchuk and
    Ms. Marinelli created our own
  outdoor rink that has been used for
 hockey, broomball, curling and lots
         of great outdoor fun!

CLC was also able to obtain a class set of snowshoes
which we hope to use in gym class for years to come.

History of Hockey
                                            By Alycia

We all know the game of hockey, but do you know who invented hockey? Or when the game
was invented? Well to answer these ponderings, here is what was found! We do not actually know when
hockey was in fact invented. Historians have investigated who invented this great sport but have no clear
answer. Ice hockey as we know it today has evolved over the course of hundreds of years.
 Some believe that hockey goes back over 4,000 years to ancient Egypt where a crude stick and ball game was
played. Evidence also exists that similar games were played by the ancient Ethiopians, Romans, Greeks, and
Aztecs. Historians have uncovered evidence of hockey-like games being played in England in the mid to late
1700s. They found an engraving from 1797, that shows a person on skates with a stick and a cork plug (called
a "bung") on the frozen River Thames in 1796.
The version we play today is often credited to James Creighton. In 1872, he moved from Halifax, Nova Scotia
to Montreal, bringing skates, hockey sticks, and a game with a basic set of rules with him. In 1875, he
organized indoor hockey practices at Victoria Skating Rink. The first organized indoor game of hockey was
played on March 3, 1875. Their puck was a circular piece of wood created by James Creighton. The National
Hockey League (NHL) was later founded November 26, 1917, in Montreal. The first NHL teams were the
Montreal Canadians, Montreal Wanderers, Ottawa Senators, and the Toronto Arenas are now known as the
Toronto Maple Leafs as of 1927. The oldest hockey teams that were part of what we now call the original six,
are the Montreal Canadiens and Toronto Maple Leafs.
                                              L’histoire du hockey
Nous connaissons tous le jeu de hockey, mais savez-vous qui a inventé le hockey? Ou quand le jeu a été
inventé? Pour répondre à ces questions que vous vous posez, la réponse est simple, nous ne savons pas quand
le hockey a été réellement inventé. Les historiens recherché qui serait l’inventeur de ce jeu magnifique mais
nous n’avons pas de réponse claire. C’est probablement le fait que hockey sur glace a évolué depuis des
centaines d’années.
Certains croient que le hockey date de plus que 4 000 années à l’Égypte ancienne ou un bâton brut et un jeu de
balle était joué. Des preuves existent que des jeux similaires étaient aussi joués par les anciens Éthiopiens,
Romains, Grecs, et Aztèques. Les historiens ont découvert des jeux comme le hockey ont été joué en
Angleterre du milieu jusqu’à la fin des années 1700. Ils ont trouvé une lithographe de 1797, qui montre une
personne en patins avec un bâton et un bouchon de liège (appeler un « Bung ») sur la rivière Thème en 1796.
Le jeu qu’on joue aujourd’hui est souvent crédité à James Creighton. En 1872, il est déménagé de Halifax en
Nouvelle Écosse à Montréal, avec ses patins, des bâtons de hockey, et un jeu avec un ensemble de règles de
base avec lui. En 1875, il a organisé des pratiques de hockey à l’intérieure à la patinoire Victoria. Le premier
jeu organisé à l’intérieur était joué le 3 mars 1875. La rondelle était une pièce de bois en cercle créée par James
Creighton. La Ligue nationale de hockey (LNH) était fondée le 26 Novembre 1917 à Montréal. Les premières
équipes de la LNH étaient les Canadiens de Montréal, Wanderers de Montréal, Sénateurs d'Ottawa et Arénas
de Toronto maintenait les Maple Leafs de Toronto dans 1927. Les plus vieilles équipes de hockey et comme
nous connaissons comme les six originaux sont les Canadiens de Montréal et les Maple Leafs de Toronto.

History Starts With the Color Black
                                                                     By: Christel N.

You may be asking yourself why do we celebrate Black History Month? Not everybody knows about Black
History Month. It is not necessarily taught in schools. This celebration is sometimes kept in the dark. Howev-
er, it should be something we celebrate and learn about as it is an important part of our history.
When I was in elementary, I never learned about Black History Month. I was not taught about the people who
fought for their rights and their freedom of expression. I really wish that when I was in elementary school they
would have taught about, Black History Month. This celebration means so much to me, it's a way of reassur-
ing that black people who risked their lives are remembered and honored from this day on.
Black History Month started in 1970, it was first suggested by a group of students who attended Kent State
University in February, 1969. The first annual Black History Month started the following year starting January
2 to February 28th.
                                          Why the month of February?

The reason is simple, it’s because two important and great people were born that month, Abraham Lincoln and
Frederick Douglass. They played an important role in putting an end to slavery. You may be asking yourself
who decided, who planned it? It's because of a man named Carter G Woodson, he was inspired when he at-
tended a celebration in Illinois.

                                    Why is it important to celebrate?
Black History Month is a celebration in honour of those who have impacted, not just the country, but also the
world with what they have accomplished and done throughout history. There are many people who have had
an impact in this celebration one of whom is Rosa Parks.
Rosa Parks is a person that should be remembered when celebrating Black History. She refused to give up her
seat to a white man on a bus in 1955. Her actions inspired a group of local black leaders to organize the Mont-
gomery Bus Boycott, which was led by Martin Luther King. She has been remembered for her courage, her
bravery and strength in the struggle to end racial segregation.

                                                             How can you help?
How do we continue spreading the word? That's a good question. We all have a part to play in educating oth-
ers about the importance of Black History Month. Even though we know that challenges still exists, we must
continue to keep changing the world to make it a better place for everyone. We have come so far, we want this
growth to continue to make our society even better! Remember those who strove for this day to come! Tell
those who don't know the stories because we know that history starts with the color black.
