Something Old, Something New

Our year is coming to an end. Not old exactly, just complete. Full of satisfying memories and great learning.

One treasured memory of the year is the writing, composing, and making a video/slideshow of our new school song. With the help of our talented music teacher, Jenn Forsland, and local (Juno Award nominated!) musician, Helen Austin, we wrote a song that we leave as a legacy to our school. We are pretty proud of it–please give it a listen. But a warning: it is a bit of an earworm:

Distracted.

At this time of year, Gr. 7 students (ok, and their teacher) are easily distracted by thoughts of summer.

With a little determination, focused effort, and our eyes on the prize (completing elementary school!) we will hang on and leave those darned squirrels for July.
