We are grateful to welcome back our world travelers this week, as members of the EURO and Band trips return home to us safe and sound. The week ahead promises to be another busy one with lots going on in classrooms and the Voye Memorial Rugby tournament taking place here this weekend. Check out the schedule for that below, and then come on out to help cheer on our men's and women's teams. There's never a dull moment here, which is why TOSH is such an awesome place to be, learn, and grow!
With the warmer weather and Spring Fever in the air, our staff are focusing on ways to encourage students to get to class on time and stay put to learn each day. With only a little over four weeks remaining between now and the start of final exams, it is important for your son/daughter to be "present" in every way, four periods per day.
If your son/daughter must leave school for an important reason during the day, we ask that you instruct him/her to remain in class until you arrive in the main office for pick up. We will call him/her out of class for you. Thanks in advance for your support!
We could also use some help encouraging students to follow the school dress code: no skirts shorter than the length of fingertips by your side, no short shorts, no tops with spaghetti straps or shoulderless, and no inappropriate and/or drug or alcohol related clothing please and thanks! The school is their workplace, so we ask that students dress in a way that shows respect for themselves and others. Students who do not follow the dress code will be asked to cover up or change.

DELF TESTING THIS WEEK!
Our Grade 12 French Immersion students are taking their DELF tests this week. This is an international French competency test whose results are recognized wherever they go in the world from here. M. Fiset and Mme. Vialle have done an awesome job preparing them for the task, and we know that they will achieve to the best of their abilities. Proud of you all!
GRAD PROM-MAY 23, 2015
Believe it or not, it is that time of year again! Tickets for the prom were sold last week and the final sale date is this Wednesday, May 13. Tickets are $10 each and only graduating students who have paid any outstanding student/lost book fees,and their dates who meet the criteria for sign ins, are permitted to attend. The Grad Prom takes place at Credit Union Place on Saturday, May 23, 2015 and grads are encouraged to take pictures with family, etc. prior to arriving at the CUP.
PLEASE NOTE: The event that is approved by the school and chaperoned by TOSH staff is the Prom Dance ONLY! The "prom party" that often happens later on prom night is NOT a school event and is something that causes us a sleepless night of worry each year.
Parents who are not aware of the potential dangers associated with this party are encouraged to educate themselves and/or call me at (902) 888-8460 to ask questions. Tickets for this party are sold "under the table" to hundreds of people of all ages, many of whom do not attend our school. The party features underage drinking and illegal drug use, as well as other potential dangers. We pray every year that no one gets hurt or worse, but it is beyond the school's control. Someone "hosts" this party and, therefore, assumes the liability. "What we permit, we promote" and this is certainly not what we consider to be a safe way for our students to spend their grad prom night.

STUDENT VOTE 2015!
On May 4, our student body went to the "polls" to practice exercising their democratic right to cast their vote and have their voice heard in the provincial election. The event was coordinated by the Student Government Council and Mr. Trainor's Political Science 621 class. Results were sent to Elections Canada in Ottawa for tabulation with the votes from other students across the Island. Several of our senior students were able to vote "for real" in their first election, which is always an exciting rite of passage! Kudos to our students for attending the Meet the Candidates event in advance and for taking the vote seriously. Our right to vote is a freedom we should never take for granted.
A DAY IN THE LIFE AT TOSH...
As often as I can, I get out of my office and wander the halls, cafeteria and gathering spots of our school. It is such a privilege to be part of this warm and vibrant school community, and I am so proud of our staff and students and the work they do together here each and every day!
