is a perfect opportunity to
publicly recognize the

compassionate nurses who

These professional
nurses practice using a

person centered approach
to care. They are critical
thinkers who assess resi-
dents' needs, plan inter-
ventions and evaluate out-
comes. Our nurses
participate in continuing
education, are strong lead-
ers, know how to manage
conflict and act as advo-
cates. Registered Nursing
staff members at Pinecrest
take leadership for a

Avon Maitland District School Board
Dear Parent(s)/Guardian(s):
The Elementary Teach-
ers' Federation of Ontario
(ETFO), the union that rep-
resents our elementary
teachers, has given notice
that public elementary
school teachers across the
province will initiate a
legal job action beginning
May 11, 2015. This job
action will involve the
withdrawal of some sup-
port for administrative
activities and non -partici-
pation in EQAO testing,
staff meetings, and profes-
sional development
activities.
It is important to note
that: until further
notice, all AMDSB schools
will remain open and pro-
gramming will continue;
and, school activities such
as field trips, sports, extra-
curricular activities are
expected to continue as
variety of programs
including: Falls Preven-
tion, Skin and Wound
Management, Nursing
Rehab, Behaviour Support,
Palliative Care, Infection
Control, Education and
Health and Safety. Nurses
play an integral role in
continuous quality
improvement and they
recognize the value of
interdisciplinary teams to
keeping with having local
celebrities, we have asked
Carol Phillips (local gym
guru) to lead us in some
non -strenuous exercises,

muscles, do we. We are
also having some "unique"
prizes for the top 3 Fund
Raisers and top 3
Costumes.
All monies raised are to

upcoming summer, when
donations tend to fall off,
but the use of the Food
Share continues. We are

I think the latter. There are
countries that are doing just
that by succeeding at three
things: going after tax evad-
ers (we are owed $80 billion
but our Revenue Agency is
going after charities
instead); funding universal
programs like health care,
education and day care—all
of which research has
shown to increase people's
economic mobility; target-
ing those who truly need
help—the homeless, the
planned.
As student safety remains
the top priority for the Avon
Maitland District School
Board, board staff is com-
mitted to keeping you
informed as more informa-
tion becomes available. I
encourage parents/ guardi-
ans to monitor the AMDSB

quality of care for each
resident.
It's a pleasure to recognize
the knowledge, skill and
compassion of our dedicated
nurses. The nurses at
Pinecrest truly are, "Nurses:
with you every step of the
way':

unemployed.
Sure, I can use some of
the perks from the budget.
But I'd gladly give them up
to see my neighbours in
Grey Bruce get better jobs
and money for long-term
economic development
here. But there's nothing
in the Harper Government
budget for the very things
we need the most.
