The month of May will be a very busy time for both staff and students. Looking over the list of activities happening from now until the end of June really speaks to the volume of academic and social involvement that we offer at JCH.
On Friday, May 7, Mr. Sowden has invited the Ontario College of Teachers to make a presentation to our grade 8 students about careers in education. Hopefully this presentation will increase the knowledge and interest levels of students in the field of teaching.
Students are really looking forward to Track and Field on May 11. All Grade 8 students who are currently taking Physical Education will be evaluated on their participation in a minimum of 3 events for Track and Field. Grade 7 students will be evaluated on writing a journal entry regarding their choice of 3 events, describing the each event, winners of the event and their individual results for the events. That means that attendance is important for all students. We are all hoping for a great weather day for this event!
In classes, teachers will be collecting and evaluating student assignments, administering unit tests/exams and introducing culminating activities as we move closer to year end. There is still time to raise those grades in any subject!
On Thursday, we had our Awards Assembly for our students who have perfect and/or excellent attendance, Club 80, sports teams, science fair and oral communications participates. Congratulations to all students who received a certificate. Certificates will be put in student portfolio binders. Thanks to Mrs. M. Hill for collecting information and organizing the ceremony.
