Well, the Extreme Makeover of the BA lockers is now complete. It took a year of hard work by the many students who participated under the leadership of teachers Myra Bernardin and Kyle Rougeau. Over 800 lockers were painted in that warm burgundy tone, one of the school’s colors and now give the corridors that spic-and-span look.
A big thanks goes to all those students, this and last year who worked tirelessly in this huge endeavor, and to Principal David Abracen, for feeding the students on those painting days. This idea, which was an initiative of last year’s student council, was a way to improve the school look, and will benefit the staff and students for many years to come.
Along with last year’s new doors and windows and recent roof work and the painting of classrooms, the building celebrating its 50th anniversary in January of 2011, one can truly say that the grand lady of 6100 Champlain Blvd isn’t getting older, but getting better. Who knows, it just might be a good time for a celebration.
And, last but certainly not least, many of us forget about Oct.5th, but little do many of us know that it’s World Teachers’ Day. It has been held annually on this day since 1994, and intended to mobilize support for teachers and their organizations worldwide.
This past Oct. 5th, the students of teacher Miss Tamara Beach’s Sec 3 Community Leadership class hosted a refreshment break for the teachers to celebrate this International Day and to recognize their important contributions.
The students baked delicious cupcakes and fancy cakes. Sure tastes yummy. The students also took the time to write creative poems and to serenade the teachers in song with those great voices.
HAVE A GREAT WEEK.
