What a year this has been! Although there were times when the clock didn't seem to move (When it wasn't broken) such as when we were reading Notre Dame de Paris or learning about English grammar, here we are at summer! The spring seemed to fly by in a blur of a large media unit, CASI and Fairy Tales and we are ready to enjoy a well-deserved break.
I want to sincerely thank all of you for a tremendous year. I started my time with you by telling you that your behaviour would dictate the year we'd have and how I would respond to you, and we have had a year full of talks, questions and fun.
I wish you all the best, you are ALL special and wonderful people. The pleasure has been all mine :)
Keep in touch!

Today 8-8 started their presentations, did a quiz and handed in their Art projects and fairy tales.
All English students were supposed to have handed in their Fairy Tales today.
Unfortunately, many students were away today/ did not complete their work.
Please put your fairy tales under my door Monday morning before boarding the bus for Arrowhon, give it to a friend to hand in or email it to me at: susan.cosburn@tdsb.on.ca
Please do not abuse the fact that I have given you my email address. I am happy to answer any questions related to school work of course but it is primarily for submitting your work to me. It is a favour I am doing for you so you don't lose marks because your work is very late being handed in.
For those you going to camp, have a great week! For those staying in Toronto, see you Monday morning :)
