Great Things Seen & Heard   

  • At least one presenter at the division-wide PD day hosted in our school was interested in purchasing student artwork from our Art Gallery!
  • Teacher tapes a note with her cellphone number on the front door in case people need to get in for an evening meeting, but the note disappeared before she could take it down. Maybe a student has it now…
  • One highly gifted staff member attained a mark of 82% on a certificated course by taking the test without even doing the lessons!
  • Class differences: boys’ bathroom stash now contains cognac instead of vodka!
  • Student has two adults call in with different reasons for her absence after she calls in to order lunch for herself.
  • Student recommends the principal get a taser for bathroom supervision.
  • Permission was given to a teacher for kicking a student’s butt even if it means getting fired because graduation would be worth it!
  • Student in the library claims he just had a smoke break in the bathroom, and then laughs and says he’s going back for another one but heads to class.
  • The most unexpected students come out of the woodwork to say goodbye to NH, even before the last day.
  • Volleyball teams came home with consolation final (girls) and silver (boys). Great performance!
