Grade 9 Science test this Wednesday November 12th on chapter 3.
For those Band Students who still owe skills, the last day until December 2nd is this Wednesday. If you want your skills on this report card you need to get in to see me ASAP.
As you know I will not be here from Mid to end November as I need to complete a Military course in Kingston, Ontario. The substitute will be Doug Millington. You may know him as the man who filled in for the teacher in the Souris Band program when she went out on maternity a couple of years ago. I would ask that you treat him with respect (as I know you will) and allow him to be the teacher for the period in which I am gone. The first class I will see you again will be in the first of December time frame. Doug is a very accomplished musician and has a Masters in Performance (Trombone) and is currently the Director of the Charlottetown Jazz Ensemble. For the period of Dougs teaching position a Morell, there will continue to be after school band rehearsals. So from Mid November (17th) to end November (29th) there will be extra curricular band practice at Morell High. (There will be no early morning Jazz though). The expectations remain the same in my absence, and all students are expected to practice as they should at home and continue to participate fully in the band classes. Grade 12 Students will continue to meet on Wednesdays at lunch.
This Tuesday is Remembrance Day and Kara Cousins will be leading about 15 members from the band at the ceremony in Morell. I cannot be here as I must be at the War Memorial in Charlottetown for the ceremonies there. It is part of my duties and responsibilities with my Regiment. Kara will do an excellent job and we just need to cross our fingers for the weather.
Hope you all have a great month and I look forward to seeing you all again in December.
Mr D
