WJHA

Today was a special day at Stevenson, where our new Winnipeg Jets Hockey Academy Gr. 2/3 students and returning Gr. 4/5 students went to the IcePlex to try on their new hockey equipment! Our students represented our school very well with the WJHA staff.

Each year, we form a staff committee to select students suitable for the program. If you have any questions about the criteria or the process, please call the school. If you feel you would like your child(ren) considered for the program in the future, please let us know.

Hockey will start on Oct. 29. Our time slot is in the morning at the IcePlex. A school bus transports our hockey students to the rink. Families are always welcome to come to the rink to watch. Students go through hockey drills to learn the skills to eventually play games. It is quite a magical process to watch!

The staff at Stevenson believe in providing innovative and creative opportunities for all of our students. So, starting on Oct. 29, the students who are not in the hockey program participate in "Project Thursdays". Every Thursday morning, students do project-based learning where they participate in creative experiences inspired by students and teachers. You might see students participating in drama activities, yoga, singing, dancing, building and playing with manipulatives, or creating their own inventions! The ideas are endless for these days! If you feel you can contribute to teaching something special to our students, please feel free to contact your child's teacher. We greatly value learning from each other and using the strengths of all of us to teach our children.
