Thank you to Libby's grade 11 English class who came and shared their knowledge on blogs with the grade 9 English class. The grade 9 class have each chosen a character from their novel A Question of Loyalty and will create a blog for their chosen character. It should be fun and interesting to read the blogs as there was no technology during the Upper Canada Revolution. They will continue to work on them this week and next.

It's hard to believe that we've been back to school for almost three full weeks now. I have a slightly different workload from last year, so I've added a new page ( sec 1&2 French) , deleted one (sec. 4 & 5 English) and edited others. I encourage students and parents to check out the blog for updates on what's happening in class and homework.

Happy Valentine's Day on Monday everyone. Grade 8 & 9 your homework this weekend is to finish the rough copy of your personal essay. It is very important to have this done for Monday Feb. 14th for the final in-class revision and polishing. Friday is the end of term!

It's Teacher Appreciation Week and students, parents and our spiritual animator Wilma and Brian have outdone themselves already this week tomake us feel appreciated.  I send my sincere thanks to them for the wonderful day today - lunch and games - the snacks and recess supervision. Hats off to our GREAT students and their parents! Thank you.

New pictures of some of the Ted Harrison imitations are found on the art page. Check them out and congratulations to Alex, Kelly, Krista and Lindsay for the great projects. Great  use of color!
