Friday Afternoon Dancing


Our students tend to flock to the gymnasium on Friday afternoon so they can get their fill of dancing.  They usually finishing up with some line dancing, which is good fun.

Thanks to the great job our PE staff does with this unit!  Bravo to Mr. Hindmarch, Mani & Scarr!!

Leadership & Dancing

 Maureen McBeath, of Toastmasters, has been working with our Leadership class on oral presentations. She shared that a good speech is like a Grandpa Burger--the top is the introduction, the 3 burgers are the body of the speech with the condiments representing juicy facts, and the bottom of the bun is the conclusion.

 The Leadership class is working on project day today-- they are making posters for next week's events.

 The PE Dance Unit is a big hit; even line dancing is seen as a fun activity.

There are various themes in the PE Dance Unit-- today is Canada Day!

It has been a busy week....I am sure that next week will be just as busy.

Monday is Red & Green Day, Tuesday we have Secret Santa, Wednesday is Pictures with Santa, Thursday is Festive Sweater Day and Friday we have our Pancake Breakfast & our Annual Talent Show.

Have a great weekend.

Christmas Band Concert & Drama Productions

 The first Drama production saw Santa pushing the elves too hard, resulting in a strike.

 Santa is pondering what to do next.  Would Christmas really be cancelled?
 In the second production the setting is a bus stop and one cheerful girl seems to want to share the joy of Christmas,  while other aren't really interested.
 The number of patrons waiting for the bus grows, but the message about the joy of Christmas continues to be shared.
 Decorating a Christmas tree with ornaments results in wishes being made and wishes answered. The true meaning of the joy of Christmas becomes a reality for the bus patrons.
 The Senior Concert Band perform one of several tunes.
 The combined Senior Concert Band and the Grade 8 Band end the night with a Christmas medley.

The Grade 8 Band did a great job! Well done.


Thanks to Mr. McCallum and Mr. Kellough for the excellent work in getting our students prepared for their performances.  Great job by all of our students! You made your parents and teachers proud.  Bravo!!!!
