Last day of school. TGIF!

MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!!  It's our last day of school until 2009!!!  It's amazing how fast the past 4 months has gone.

Enjoy the holidays and I'll see you in January!  :o)

Level 2 band performing at the Christmas concert on Wednesday night (click to enlarge photo)

BRAVO!!!!

Wow!  The concert last night was wonderful!  Thank you so much to all music students for all of your hard work and your wonderful performances.  The concert was well-received by the audience, and I was very happy with how we played, sang, etc.

Now it's all over for the semester and we're only 7 days away from Christmas!  Enjoy the holiday - you've earned it! :o)

Sc 7P lab reports due

Hi 7P!  This is just a reminder that your lab reports are due on Friday.  Please make sure to have your report printed out BEFORE class, as we don't have the computer lab booked and we haven't set aside time to work on the reports then.

Thanks!

Frosty = busted!

Here's a little holiday humour to brighten up your weekend. :o)

7C Secret Santa

Hi 7C!  We have officially drawn names for our Secret Santa activity, so festivities can begin as of tomorrow morning.  Please keep your Secret Santa identities under wraps until the last day of classes!  Be sneaky!

Also, please leave a comment with some "wish list" suggestions for your Secret Santa.  Remember that we are not wanting to spend more than $10 (TOTAL) on our gifts.  Have fun!

8(3) band - bring your instruments tomorrow please!

Hi 8(3) band students.  The subject line says it all - please bring your instruments for 1st period tomorrow so that we can play Christmas carols!  :o)

Sc 7P lab HW check next class

I will be doing a HW check for all Science 7P students next class.  At that time you should have completed the averages for all categories of reflex-testing activities (sight, touch, sound, and sight/touch).  Remember:

sum of drops (in cm)

_______________     =  average reaction time (in cm)

          # of trials

For example, if my results were 10cm, 22cm, 12cm, 13cm, and 7cm, then:

10 + 22 + 12 + 13 + 7 = 64

64 / 5 (number of times I dropped the metre stick) = 12.8

Therefore, my average is 12.8cm.  (Please complete this process for each category.)

We are the music makers.... we are the dreamers of the dreams.

Choir performance at Carol Fest tomorrow - UPDATED

Hi Choral 10-20-30!  We will be performing tomorrow at the Watsonaire's Carol Fest at 7:30pm at St. Paul's (near the John M. Cuelenaere Library).  We will be singing "What Child Shall Come?" and "The Storm is Passing Over" (no "Homeward Bound" this time).

Please be there at 7:00pm.  We will meet in the basement; a hostess will show us where to hang our coats and then will lead us to our seats upstairs.

The dress will be full uniform.  Please remember your socks, black shoes, kilts, etc.!  :o)

I'm looking forward to another great performance - Saskatoon was a hit!  Thanks again for your hard work. :o)
