Admission is by a 'free-will' offering which will go towards future performances by the choir. We are also accepting donations of a non-perishable food item for the annual school food bank drive. DVD's of the performance will be available and proceeds from this will go towards the Restoration Fund at the United Church. Please join us for an evening of celebration through song, under the direction of Ms. Little.
Students listened closely when they had an opportunity on Tuesday Dec. 4th to hear about heart-wrenching childhood experiences so very different from their own. Mr. Jacob Deng, a survivor of civil war in southern Sudan, told how as a child his life was suddenly turned upside down by violence in his village. One of the“lost Boys of Sudan”, he became a refugee and had harrowing experiences moving from one refugee camp to another. He told of how he was able to piece together an education and was one of the very lucky ones to survive, eventually immigrating to Canada.
Our Holiday Semi-formal will be held Friday, December 7th. Doors open 8:30pm and close at 9:30pm. Students attending must have been in class on Friday and if you have signed in a student from another school, you must arrive with that person. Please arrange to have rides pick you up at 11:30pm.

Our English 111 class will be hosting Jacob Deng, one of the "lost boys of Sudan", on Tuesday, December 4th @ 8:45am in the school theatre. Students have been studying the novel, "A Hare in the Elephant's Trunk" which outlines the life story of the young men of Sudan and the challenges they faced during the civil war in that country. This presentation promises to be an insightful window into the life of people who experience the horror of war as well as a testimony to the strength of the human spirit.
