Two Weeks Notice

Unbelievable that it is already December 3. November flew by, as it has with the rest of the months. We only have two weeks of school left (reference the title) and both are short weeks. This Thursday is the Christmas parade. It has not been mentioned or even discussed so it will definitely be more low key this year. On Friday, the T.A.s are hosting a Formal Dinner as fundraiser for them to go to the Winnipeg conference in February. And finally, Saturday is our staff Christmas party.

We have had pretty decent weather so far. It is in the negatives, but only to about 10-15. We have had a little snow, accumulating in about 2 inches. The outlook looks pretty similar for the next two weeks.

Last Thursday I had my Cultural Program with the Grade 8s. We went to the Tepee landing for a hot dog roast. The school now hires a local, to help Vicky construct a cultural based program. Jeremy, the local, showed the students how to set a snare for rabbits or squirrels. I didn't realize there were squirrels up here. We haven't seen any or any evidence of them. Jeremy is the same person who is in charge of the Internet and Cable for the community. Apparently a "jack of all trades" man.
