Hello again all!
A few updates today:
Performing Arts: Students are working on scenes for presentation. All scenes are to be memorized. Students are working in pairs on this performance. TOMORROW (Wed. Nov. 20) is our dress rehearsal. All students should be ready to go, with all props, costumes, etc. for our scene dress rehearsals. The final presentations will be on Monday, November 25th.
PA/Band: On Tuesday, November 26th, students will be engaged in an Arts AM. PA students will head over to LCHS to tour their drama area, to watch some performances from their students, and to participate in a master class on improv with them.
Band students will get a full band rehearsal in preparation for the December 3rd concert at Vic Juba! This will be a great day for students to work on their instruments, and rehearse in sectionals and with the whole band together.
ELA: All students should have handed in their first drafts of their Fractured Fairy tales. Today we went through reviews, and tomorrow will be the final peer-editing session. ALL FINAL versions of their stories are due on Friday, November 22nd.
Discovery Day: On Thursday, November 28th in the afternoon, students will be able to sign up for a selection of choices of discovery day activities. Ballots have been cast with their choices, and students will be grouped into activities based on those choices. The afternoon will be alternate, with students heading off to various locations to participate in their chosen activities. There may be a cost for some choices, and students will need to have those fees in ASAP after they learn about what activity they are in.
Winter Dance: I encourage all students to come out to our winter dance. It is on Thursday November 21, from 6:30 - 10:00 pm. It's always a good time. In addition, there will be a green screen set up at the dance, and students are encouraged to have their photos taken in the green screen, and have them put into a wintery background. Cost is $2 a photo, with additional prints costing $1 extra. If you're interested in chaperoning for the dance, send an email to jaquie.pollard@lpsd.ca for more information. You're more than welcome, despite what your student might say.
ABC Rafiki Friend Chain Sales: Our WE Team is selling "ABC Rafiki Education Friend Chains" to help raise money to help students attend school in Ecuador. It's part of our year-long initiative to help bring education to students around the world. They're $10 each, and make great meaningful gifts. (Can you tell I'm helping to sell them?) For more information, check out our info page here!
You could also see the video below. If you'd like to order one or many, send your child with your request and the money, or request directly to me via email and just send the funds with your student.
Have a great week!
