Math is fun? You bet your asymptote it is!


BRAIDEN JANES
Strathmore High School

I am a math nerd. There really is no other way


to describe my love for math. In Grade 2, my high-
light was getting the math sheet and racing to fin-
ish before anyone else. My summer in Grade 4 was
spent watching math YouTube videos and teaching
myself new theories.
When I started my high school career with SHS I
was skeptical that any teacher could teach me any-
thing new. But to my surprise, I found math classes
at the school that encouraged learning to the depth
of understanding that I was searching for and it
was done in an enjoyable and interesting way that
I had never experienced. I soon realized the teach-
ers at SHS encourage their students to learn the
fundamentals of math in a meaningful way, expect-
ing them to understand the concepts of the math,
rather than just memorizing and repeating certain
rules and formulas.

Adaptive art now on display


JANET KANTERS
Times Editor

Artmaking can be one of the most meaningful


activities in which a person with (and without) dis-
abilities can be independently engaged.
No one knows that better than the Wheatland
Society of Arts (WSA), which runs an adaptive arts
program in its studio each Friday.
WSA is currently running the Adaptive Art Gal-
lery Exhibit in the Studio, with a reception on
Thursday, March 14 from 7-9 p.m. The exhibit itself
goes to March 18.
The WSA’s adaptive art program is run in partner-
ship with Advocacy in Motion (AIM), and features
projects specially designed to work on dexterity
and focus while encouraging creative thinking and
promoting self-esteem.
“In the gallery show, we have some of their
paintings, prints and ink artworks on display,” said
WSA’s Kari Carriere. “Vivian McCallum has been
the driving force behind this program, and she
continues to be passionate and a role model for
designing this program. Jenn Mamer is our other
passionate instructor and we have Megan Fachini
who plans and teaches her classes from her wheel-
chair.”
The adaptive art program goes every Friday and
