Hope that all of you find serenity, wherever you may be! (But don't bottle up too much anger!)
This Week!
There were so many great things happening this week around the building - awesome projects, collaboration, hard work. Not that this week was different from many, but there was definitely many positive happenings. We appreciate that everyone tolerated the smell of vinegar from Mr. Hoek's classes' experiments. A video of one of their assignments is just below. The excitement those students brought to the project was palpable - and they were so proud of what they had accomplished. Awesome work, Frank!
Frank's Students' Video #1 and #2;
Some of you were also fortunate enough to see Mr. Christie's students' interpretation of The Importance of Being Earnest, which was cleverly adapted to Medway circa 2013. In the coming weeks, we hope that many of you will be able to help out with a number of projects, even as spectators, including Ms. Pereira's awesome forensic projects, and Mr. Jacobs' classes trial of Victor Frankenstein. There are many, many wonderful things going on in the classrooms - too many to list here - but if you want to make sure we stop by to get a log or observation of it, just ask!
On top of that, Jon Jasinski's band is up for a WMRC Regional Award. Look for Songs For Ceilidh on #11 - Best Local Ethnic Act and Click here to vote!
