Long time no blog...

Hello World!

Long time no blog.  We have had lots and lots going on... so much effort for one day (Dec. 15th) it just doesn't seem fair to the other days!  While regular school has been going we have much to report.

First, congratulations to Cole for winning the school Logo contest.  His design successfully captures the essence of our school.

Also, congratulations to Alexandra for earning over 67000 grains of rice for hungry people in Cambodia.  As a class we earned over 125000 grains of rice for the month of November and finished in 8th place in Canada as part of the Canadian Free Rice School Challenge.  Thank you to those who helped us out!  (My Mom, f1regirl, whyard, My Dad, maleys, gordonspear, ms.liebel, Supermomandson, jephiner, puppilicious1)  I am not sure exactly who everyone is so please tell me so I can thank you in person!  (I know f1regirl, Gord, Ms. Liebel and of course Mom and Dad) Keep playing for fun and to feed the world :)

We went for our first snowshoeing adventure last week!  It was a cold, windy day but everyone put on a brave face and nobody complained. Good show!

Mr. Bond missed school on Thursday to learn about teaching parts of our courses online.  Already this week some of our seniors have begun using the expertly prepared units from BC Learning Network. Mr. Bond is very excited to use this service regularly.

We also have dozens of new class pets!  They work in damp, dark conditions, eat garbage and will guide us in much of our studies for the rest of the year... can you guess what or who they are?  If you said "Red Wigglers" then well done!  Currently we are accepting applications for a 'Worm Master' and cover letters will be accepted until Thursday.  Duties will involve meticulous measuring and sorting of worm food, water and other living conditions.  Applicants should be responsible, thoughtful and not mind stinky smells!
