It is our choices that show what we truly are, far more than our abilities.

Forgotten Warriors

Here is the link to the documentary we watched today. Sorry for the late posting. I got distracted by the news from the US...

Forgotten Warriors

There are many other films and documentaries on this site- have a search and learn some more!

In honour of Remembrance Day, below is a picture of my Great Grandfather Albert on the day he came home from WW1. I don't think his daughter, my Aunt, remembered him!

On October 12th and 13th, Lord Byng will be having it's annual Conference for grade 9 and 10's!

For a schedule of the workshops you will be attending- check outside the office and library later this week.

If you forget to check your schedule- just remember that all grade 9 and 10's have an assembly first period on the 12th. So just head there and check your schedule afterwards!

Goodbye Planning 10!

A few points to remember before the end of the year!

First- If you are still failing- do any of the assignments to the left that you haven't already done and also the Last Hope Assignment. Hand them all in by June 9th. That's next Friday!

Second- the link to the Test Anxiety booklet is to the left under the Study Help Section.

Third- Here is a link to the great show about Dogs I told you about- The Wonder of Dogs
An excellent de-stressing and informative show! Below is a photo from the show.



Lastly-  Regarding the comments I made during our assembly about my cat Lucille being a jerk, she has demanded asked that I post her side. She feels that her actions keep us on our toes and it is good for humans to know their place. That she wakes us at night as being nocturnal is the natural way. Also, that there is nothing wrong with a good, strong love for shoes.

And seriously, as I write this Lucille is trying to sit on the keyboard of my laptop.

Have a great summer and I look forward to running into many of you over the summer!
