Hi 8-1 and 8-2 families!
Just wanted to connect to pass on some info about upcoming trips for the Grade 8s!
1. Alberta Theatre Projects- Cafe Daughter: field trip forms came home yesterday or today for this trip. 8-1 and half of 8-2 will be going on Jan. 16, and the other half of 8-2 will be going on Jan. 24. The reason for this split is to ensure that all Grade 8 wrestlers are able to see the performance due to the Wrestling meet taking place on Jan. 24th as well. Students should know which date they are going, and it is on their form as well. Please email us if you have any questions about this! We will be looking for a few parent volunteers for both dates so please let us know if you are interested in coming!
2. CTF Day: Fri. Jan. 18th. Next Friday students will be spending the whole day in a CTF experience. All Band students will be going to a rehearsal with Ms. Hierons, the Sports Performance class will be going to U of C, the Creative Tech, Visual Arts and Photography classes will be going to ACAD/SAIT and the French and Foods classes will be participating in activities here at the school. Applicable field trip forms for this day are also coming home today. Thank you for your paperwork patience!
3. HUMS- Renaissance portraits are due this Friday. Students have been given the chance to take them home today and should return them complete with 5 symbols by Friday.
4. Word of the Year- we are in the middle of selecting a word of the year. This involved some reflecting on what is coming up this year for each of us and what kind of focus/direction might be beneficial personally for 2019. We have done some research on the etymology, origins, meanings and synonyms for these potential words. This would be a great topic for conversation at home this week! :)
Thank you for your ongoing support during a busy time in Grade 8!
Ms. Liddell and Ms. Turbach
