Believe it or not, there are only 13 instructional days left in this school year!! Our Class of 2015 have enjoyed their Grad Prom (check out the pics below!), and now it is the time of year for end of the year awards ceremonies, final banquets, championship tournaments, and graduation itself. I had more than a few Grade 12's come up to me these past few weeks and say, "You weren't lying in Grade 10 when you told us high school would fly fast!" No matter where your son/daughter is on his/her high school journey, we hope they are ready to finish strong!

| Supervisor Selfie :-) GRAD PROM 2015! |
I'll apologize in advance that I am in so many of these pictures, but every time one of our students asked if we could get a picture together, I handed their unsuspecting family member or friend my camera too! It was a beautiful night of celebration after 12 or more years of hard work, and we are always SO proud to see our students dressed up and looking their very best! If the prom shoes were more comfortable, I might suggest that we all come dressed in our finery some day at school! :-) Here's a sneak peek from the festivities at the CUP on Saturday evening...

'TWAS THE WEEK BEFORE THIS ONE...!
I try my best to keep these posts updated weekly, but sometimes, life gets in the way! We had a busy week, the week before last, that ended with our Annual David Voye Memorial Rugby Tournament. David was a founding faculty member here at TOSH and served as it's first music teacher up until his death in 1996. I was blessed to have him as my band and Glee Club director and, eventually, as my friend. His son, James Voye, has dedicated countless hours to the rugby program at TOSH-the program his father began-and we are proud to host this tournament each year in David's memory.
This year, 24 teams competed in the tournament and the TOSH Men's and Ladies' teams made us proud...as usual! Both advanced to semi final play, with our Women's team breaking the tie with a nail biting series of "kick offs", and our men falling in a close 5-3 game. Our Women's team went on to win the tournament, bringing the banner home to TOSH once again. A huge thank you goes out to Head Coaches Tim Hockin (Women) and James Voye (Men), along with their assistants, for the time and expertise they share so willingly with our student athletes!

SUMMERSIDE SEA CADETS CEREMONIAL REVIEW!
Our local Sea Cadets Corps recently held their Ceremonial Review with some of our TOSH students taking top honours! Congratulations to all members of the Corps (pictured above) and to Jonathan Palmer and Nathaniel Lykow for being recognized with special prizes!
TAKING ONE FOR THE TEAM!
Our Climate Crew ran a successful "Pie in the Face" event this past week in aid of the PCH Equipment Fund. Several people stepped up to show what good sports they are and "took one for the team" after the right to "pie" them went to the highest bidder!: Mr. David McNeill, Kennedy Crossland, Mr. Lilly, and Riley DesRoches. Mr. Oulton proved himself to be a stellar auctioneer and a large crowd in the caf kept the bidding wars going well to the end of noon hour. Things got interesting when the bidding war for Riley ended in a second pie being made and both teams donating over $30 for the cause. Thanks to all who participated!
