Nicole's Notes: Volume 36 (June 9, 2014)

Happy Monday TOSH Parents and Guardians!
Harper DesRoche cheering our rugby teams on!


Believe it or not, this is the final week of regular classes for this school year! There is still a lot of business to be taken care of with Final Exams on the horizon, but I want to wish our Grads all the best this Monday as they finish up their final day of classes for their public school education. The month of June is a big one for them and we look forward to celebrating them all on June 24!

It will be important that parents of Grade 12 students, especially, check the blog each week for information about graduation. When you see the graduation cap image, that's your cue to start reading! ;-)

TOAD 2014 A HUGE SUCCESS!!

A big THANK YOU goes out to our Activities Council members and their advisors: Mrs. Dia Lynn Keough, Mrs. Ashley Bell, and Mr. Lyndon Oulton for leading the way in the planning and execution of this year's "Three Oaks Activities Day" a.k.a. TOAD! This afternoon of fun allows our school community to connect on a different level through play before the more serious business of Final Exams begins. It was a privilege to walk around and see the smiles, hear the laughter, and witness the pure joy that is TOAD! Take a peek for yourself:

The day began with a free pancake breakfast...










Then after morning classes, we moved to Karaoke in the Caf at noon...


Then launched into the activities, beginning with the Amazing Race...







Followed by the Physics PBL display...





And on to Blow Up Games...









Ball Hockey Tournament...




Slip 'n Slide...




Texas Hold 'Em Tournament...


Barbeque and Sno Cone Sales PLUS Lemonade Stand Run By Rainbow Daycare in support of Cystic Fibrosis...




Flight Simulator...

Coffee House/Talent Show...


Video Games...


Table Tennis Tournament...


And TONS of School Spirit!











There was even an "Impromptu Water War", which was started by our Social Studies Department...





PS. They were nice enough to take our phones first!! 

For the record, TOAD ROCKS! :)
