| But first, lemme take a selfie! #ellenstyle |
We had a great week last week which ended with our Graduation Prom celebration on Saturday evening. The Class of 2014 turned out in fine style and a good time was had by all in attendance. A huge thank you goes out to our Class Officers and their advisors, Mrs. Dia Lynn Keough and Mr. David McNeill for the hard work and time that went into organizing this event. The decorations were awesome, the candy bar was a hit, and it was wonderful to see so many parents, family members, and friends at the CUP. Our grads are truly well loved, and we are grateful to be welcoming them all back to school, safe and sound, on Monday morning!
WE NEED YOUR HELP!!
There have been an excessive number of dress code violations lately. We have reviewed our expectations with our students and those who continue to be in violation of the dress code will be asked to cover up immediately or go home to change. Parents will be called, as well. We are having particular issue with shorts that are far too short (pockets sometimes lower than the hem of the shorts), as well as short skirts/dresses. Please note that shirts should be long enough to cover the stomach and spaghetti straps should not be seen. As I mentioned to our students, the school is their workplace and what might be acceptable fashion for social time does not always work at school. We want them to respect themselves and others as young adults, so please have a conversation with your son/daughter to make sure they understand the dress code policy.

TOSH SUPPORTS RELAY FOR LIFE!
This year's Summerside Relay for Life event is taking place at the Red Shores Raceway (overnight event beginning Friday evening until 6 AM Saturday). Over 30 students have expressed an interest in becoming involved thus far, and registration forms/$10 registration fee were due last week. Students are encouraged to do their own fundraising, and Charity Jars this month are in support of this cause. Sending a shout out to the Community Works Council and their advisor, Mrs. Tammy Craig, for organizing this campaign!
HISTORY 521 PRESENTS A "LIVING MUSEUM"!
Members of Mrs. Power's Grade 11 History 521 class dressed up in period costumes on Friday to represent people and aspects of World history from 1600 onward. A lot of research and effort went into these projects, which is obvious when you take a peek at the pictures below!
CLIMATE CREW'S "MAY DAYS" EVENT OF THE WEEK!
Our Climate Crew has been hosting events targeting various areas of the school at noon hour this past month in an effort to bring some "fun" to all corners of the building and to encourage our students to visit one another's "hangouts" and share some laughs together. Last week, there was "Karaoke" happening in the Cafeteria! :-)
