A Historic Day!

Just before noon today, a very important historical moment occurred as Barack Obama became the new President of the United States of America. It wasn't too long ago when people of colour were segregated in the USA so today was HUGE! Let's hope and wish him all the best as he goes forth to make a significant and lasting impact.

Many of our students gathered around TV screens, computers, and radios to watch and listen to all of the live coverage. Today was a day they will not forget.

Students, you are reminded to continue reviewing and studying for your exams. Many of you start writing exams tomorrow so make sure you are on time, that you bring all your required materials (textbooks, calculators, pens, pencils, erasers, etc.).

Good luck!!

One Week Left to Go

The last day of semester one is in exactly one week. This means that all students should have started reviewing their course material for exams. Many will have in-class exams next week so time is of the essence. Make sure you use your time wisely!

Students, feel free to drop by Room 327 for extra help.

Good luck on your exams!

Welcome to 2009!

Welcome back everyone!

We hope you had a great Christmas and Happy New Year to you all.

Now the fun stuff. You only have 14 more days until exams begin. So it will be a very busy time for all of you. Studying for tests, exam and completing assignments or CPTs. Do not fall behind and make sure you complete these assignments for your teachers.

Many of you will have in class exams before then on January 21 or 22, so your time will be even more restricted. Work hard and it will pay off for you.

Make sure to fill in your requests to write your exams in the ESL Room and give them to Ms. Spicer as soon as possible.

Have a great week.
