Have a wonderful Christmas and holiday!
2011 has been a terrific year and it’s been a thrill watching the students grow and develop skills, confidence and a love of learning.
My very best wishes for a Merry Christmas, a relaxing holiday and good times in the New Year.
I’m looking forward to welcoming students back to Room 9 on Wednesday 1 February.
God bless, enjoy your beautiful children - I miss them already!!

We have raised just over $700. After expenses were taken off, we have $414.44 to extend our sandpit with. Students will present that to the Board next year.
Mission accomplished :-) Yahoo!!!!!!!!!
And then it was all over …
The clean up begins, purchases taken home, stock stored away and money counted.
On Friday morning the students reflected on their experiences being a part of an art exhibition and auction. Very positive experience had by all.
The best part begins … selling the stock!!
Lots of families, staff, and Board of Trustee members came along to look and purchase goods. I was MOST impressed with students from Room 9, what sellers they are!! They took the money politely, handed back the correct change (or my favourite) sold a few pieces more, and thanked the customers. Several students were absolutely thrilled when parents gave a donation or said to keep the change as a donation. This really excited them!!
We had stock left over (we agreed it was better to have too much than not enough stock) and so a quick notice went around the school and a small group sold $100.50 worth before the Christmas service Friday afternoon.

The preparations begin … we cleared out the covered walk way, swept the ground, brought in the lights and stands, and stock then counted and recorded it all.
In a ‘down time’ one afternoon Eric, Jacob and Cedric had fun building different towers. This is one of them!
The last week of school was indeed a busy one!! The cushion covers were all complete; the responses were all positive when I showed them the final products. Huge thanks to Samuel Ralph for sewing the cushions - superb job son!
Completing the Andy Warhol inspired pop art was the next on our list. Each student placed their painted right hand onto a corner then later signed their name. These were auction pieces. Thanks Mr Rex for helping with the final touches and wrapping them ready for sale.
Another highlight was seeing the photo-shopped portraits and shots the students had taken. Special thanks to Jaime for your expertise in guiding the students how to take a photo and to Laura Ralph, a massive thank you for your skills in photo-shopping the photos.
A team terrific effort :-)
