Mardi apres la ceremonie!

Well, fast forward to today, the day after graduation...

Monsieur Wanie was so pleased to see all his students dressed impeccably and behaving like the young adults they have become. It's been a long year, full of ups and downs, lots of work and a few laughs... but through it all, Monsieur Wanie has only become more and more proud of the accomplishments of his students in 86 and 87.

Kids, and I'll say this from the first person perspective: It's been an honour teaching you (and at times learning from you too!). I wish you the all the best in your future endeavours, from high school onwards. Stay safe, have fun, never stop learning or being thankful for all the wonderful things most of us take for granted. You truly have it all at your fingertips, don't squander the opportunities that present themselves to you and "follow the white rabbit"!

Congratulations on a great year: 86 and 87, and thank you.

Wanie, out.

Mercredi, un peu de pluie pour la derniere semaine...

Today, Monsieur Wanie didn't see much of his classes again. Banner work for one class and music all afternoon!

Notable today, students received a diploma of congratulations from the Legislative Assembly...

Mardi, de la derniere semaine!

So, Monsieur Wanie didn't see much of his extended classes today... with students in the pool and at music... Some work was done on the banner but not much. Hopefully tomorrow...

Lundi, la derniere semaine...

Posts to the blog during this final full week of school will be short and to the point:

Students worked on the class banners, trying to get them done before grad.

Vendredi, la derniere journee avant Arowhon!

So, today is the last day before students go to Arowhon next week. The blog will be on pause due to Monsieur Wanie's inability to report remotely from Algonquin Provincial Park...

At school today, much like yesterday, students worked away on the banner in order to get as close to finishing it as possible before the weekend.

In the late afternoon, Monsieur Ferron and Monsieur Wanie held a meeting with students to remind them of the rules and details pertaining to the Arowhon trip.

Hopefully, everyone has a good weekend and takes some time to carefully pack their gear!!

Jeudi, nous attendons une tempete?

Well, we're slowly winding down the school year. Still, students must follow the school rules and participate in all activities provided...

Students in 86 and 87 worked well today to put detail and colour into the banner. Hopefully it gets done soon!

Mercredi, mi-semaine, chaleur infernale...

Wow, it's hot in the school! But despite the heat, students in 86 and 87 worked all day on the banner, adding colour and detail...

And students witnessed one of the most "remarkable" performances in the gym just before lunch... not sure how else to qualify it. Apparently it was related to Aboriginal Week...

Mardi, le beau temps apres la tempete de la matinee!

This morning, students had a few more minutes to work on their "French Folders" before handing them in.

Everyone then went to work on the banner in the hall before being interrupted by a fire drill...

Later in the day, students continued working on the banner. Hopefully, students will be able to start with the colour in earnest tomorrow!

As well, on an note Monsieur Wanie feels terribly uncomfortable even having to mention: Students must remember that the school has a dress code. Both girls and boys must wear appropriate clothing at Winona. NO ONE WANTS TO SEE YOUR UNDERWEAR! So, boys, pull your pants up and girls, no spaghetti-straps, midriff bearing clothing or "booty-shorts" please! YUCK!

Lundi, le beau soleil.

Well, today Ms Lydia was in for Monsieur Wanie. She was pleased with how the students worked and behaved. Monsieur Wanie had left instructions and work for students that included working on the "French Folders" and banner... "French Folders" are due tomorrow!

Vendredi, le soleil brille et il fait beau!

Today was hand-in day for the "Ma Revue de 8e Annee" project! Unfortunately only 12 people in 86 and 9 people in 87 had their work done by the deadline! Fortunately, those that did, had some great work to show. Students had the opportunity to "show and tell", trading magazines with their friends...

Students also worked on their banner, both classes having come up with totally different but equally cool ideas through which to express themselves...

And at the same time as all of this, some students were out of class running and swimming in the Winona Biathlon...

Jeudi, un peu de vent pour nous rafraichir!

So, a bit windy today!

Students in both classes started the day with a quick check-in with Monsieur Wanie to show off their magazine progress thus far...

Later in the day classes 86 and 87 began their "year end art project". The class was given a piece of banner paper roughly 6 metres is length with which to express, as a class, their feelings as we near the end of the year...

Mercredi, encore le soleil et la chaleur.

Monsieur Wanie was away today.

Hopefully, students worked hard.

Friday due-date for the "Revue de

8e Annee"!
