Below is information forwarded by

Heritage Fair Co-ordinator


Provincial Heritage Fair 2013
Plans are underway for the 2013 Provincial Heritage Fair which will be held at Confederation Centre of the Arts, Charlottetown on Thursday, 16 May 2013.
During the 2011-2012 school year, close to 3,000 students from grades 5 to 9 in 27 schools across the Island explored Canada’s heritage by taking part in Heritage Fairs.  Of these students,  166 were selected to present their projects at the Confederation Centre of the Arts in May 2012 during the Provincial Heritage Fair.
The 2012 Provincial Fair finalists participated, along with 200 students across Canada, in a new national program, Young Citizens / Jeunes citoyens.  Twelve students attended a video production workshop presented by the Island Media Arts Coop.  The students produced and uploaded videos on their heritage fair project themes to YoungCitizens.ca and voting took place over the summer months.  Two PEI students were selected among the 30 national finalists : Cassie Doiron, North Rustico, Gulf Shore Consolidated for her video <Attrapé dans le passé : la pêche aux homards> and Sydney Rennie of Alberton Elementary for his video “Nursing Past”.  Six students, of the 30 finalists, will be selected to attend the Governor General’s History Awards at Rideau Hall, Ottawa in December and will show their video during the National History Forum.  The videos are available for viewing at www.youngcitizens.ca  
The Heritage Fair Program is a wonderful way for students to explore any aspect of Canadian heritage using the medium of their choice to tell stories and share information.  By participating in the Heritage Fair Program, students develop their ability to learn independently and to present information effectively -  skills which prepare them for the future as they develop an appreciation for the past.

Having your School Fair in mid-February is a great way to celebrate National Heritage Week!
Please note the following due dates when planning the date of your school fair:
Your representatives for the Provincial Heritage Fair must be selected by 19 April 2013 and individual student registration/permission forms are due by 29 April 2013.

la Fête provinciale du patrimoine 2013

La planification est entamée pour la tenue de la Fête provinciale du patrimoine 2013 qui aura lieu au Centre des arts de la Confédération à Charlottetownle jeudi 16 mai 2013.
Au cours de l’année scolaire 2011-2012, près de 3 000 élèves de la 5e à la 9e année dans 27 écoles de l’Île ont exploré le patrimoine canadien en participant aux fêtes du patrimoine. De ces élèves, 166 ont été choisis pour présenter leur projet au Centre des arts de la Confédération le 10 mai 2012 lors de la Fête provinciale du patrimoine.
Les finalistes de la Fête provinciale du patrimoine 2012, ainsi que 200 élèves de partout au Canada, ont participé à un nouveau programme national, Young Citizens / Jeunes citoyens. Douze élèves ont pris part à un atelier de production vidéo offert par l’Island Media Arts Cooperative.  Les élèves ont créé des vidéos portant sur le thème de leur projet de la Fête du patrimoine et les ont téléversées sur le site Jeunescitoyens.ca. Les gens ont pu voter pour leur vidéo préférée au cours de l’été.  Deux élèves de l’Île ont été sélectionnés parmi les 30 finalistes nationaux : Cassie Doiron, Rustico-Nord, école Gulf Shore Consolidate, pour sa vidéo Attrapé dans le passé : la pêche aux homards; et Sydney Rennie, école Alberton Elementary, pour sa vidéo Nursing Past.  Parmi les 30 finalistes, six élèves seront choisis pour assister au Prix d’histoire du gouverneur général à Rideau Hall à Ottawa en décembre et présenter leur vidéo au Forum Histoire Canada.  Il est possible de visionner les vidéos au www.jeunescitoyens.ca.
Le Programme des fêtes du patrimoine est un excellent moyen pour les élèves d’explorer divers aspects du patrimoine canadien en utilisant le médium de leur choix pour raconter des histoires et partager de l’information. En participant au Programme des fêtes du patrimoine, les élèves développent leur capacité d’apprendre de façon indépendante et de bien présenter de l’information, ce qui les prépare pour l’avenir tout en développant leur appréciation pour le passé.
 La tenue de votre fête scolaire à la mi-février serait une excellente façon de célébrer la Semaine nationale du patrimoine! Vos représentants à la Fête provinciale du patrimoine doivent être choisis d’ici le 19 avril 2013 et les formulaires d’inscription/permission des élèves doivent être remis d’ici le 29 avril 2013.

   Sew Much Fun Contest 2013  
 Entries to be submitted by 
June 8, 2013

For details see 
www.quiltingb.ca

         2010 and 2011 winners were Homeschoolers!    
           See  www.quiltingb.ca  for details.       

Hi
Let me introduce myself, my name is Suzanne Lane, owner of Quilting B & More, an Island owned and operated business for the past 20 years that sells quilting and sewing supplies, fabric, sewing machines and many other items. We are PEI's largest sewing machine dealer and the Island's only Authorized Singer Dealer and Service Center. During the past five years we have been running a sewing contest called "Sew Much Fun". The objective of the contest is to get island youth interested in sewing which has been part of the island culture and appears to be disappearing within our youth community. The contest is free to enter, no obligation to purchase anything, just to sew something and have fun doing it. The winner will be selected randomly, so everyone who enters has the same opportunity to win a new sewing machine. Feel free to forward this information to any colleague.
Last year the winner of the "Sew Much Fun" contest was Kelly McKeough a grade 8 student from École François-Buote.
I hope that you will support us in promoting the art of sewing with your students. Should you have any question regarding this contest please feel free to contact me at 628-1998 or Please visit our website at www.quiltingb.ca
P.S. We offer a 10% discount to students who buy supplies for sewing classes (home economics).
