Sharing Life’s Challenges |
|
 Students in ELA A10/A11 recently completed “The Challenges of Life” unit. Throughout the unit, students studied a variety of Informational Texts that shared stories of individuals being faced with challenges in their daily lives and how some were able to overcome these obstacles. As a concluding project, the students prepared a report and presentation about a challenge they may have experienced or a challenge of someone they knew or chose to research had endured.
Tanya presents the challenge her brother overcame while suffering a knee injury on the football field.

Okay maybe the grade 9 PAA class is no threat to the Cake Boss in a decorating challenge, but we sure enjoyed decorating a few cupcakes in class!!

Physical Education at it's BEST |
|
 Miss Wiens and Mr. Roney’s Physical Education classes have been getting back into the physical activity groove after the holidays by continuing daily work on cardio vascular fitness goals, improving their flexibility, in addition making situational decisions relating to tactics and strategies. This particular inventive low organized activity combines aspects of baseball, evasion techniques, offensive and defensive tactics, balance and team work along with sending and receiving skills. The activity needed a name and after considering many solid and creative suggestions, Shaye H. from Westmount stated it best, simply naming it “The Course”.
