This is just too funny.

Drama class has been amazing these last few days.

• ADA 1O  Students in two groups did their first performances  of "The Terry Fox Story" on stage and under the lights for their fellow students.  Congratulations to all of you for taking the risk to be the  first to perform a fairly serious script.  I am really looking forward to more presentations on Monday.
• ADA 2O Students are writing Fairy Tale Parody scripts that are getting funnier and more entertaining every day.  The next several days would be a good time to collect props and costumes you will need for your performances.  It will help to have all your "stuff" there when you practice.
• ADA 3M Students in class were very professional by putting aside personal differences in order to make our Remembrance Day Assembly plans.  I can only say that I was impressed by all of you with your mature attitudes and the amount of work you already completed.  Wow!  The assembly is taking shape nicely thanks to everyone's hard work.  Yesterday, I dropped by the Orillia Legion and spoke to several veterens about coming out to Park Street to say a few words at our assembly.  More on that later.

Yesterday, we all got a treat when Oliver and Dylan played their accoustic guitars and sang for us in class.  After that, Mike M did a passionate performance of his slam poetry with the accompanyment of Oliver.  Brian put down some great beats and words which stopped everyone in their tracks.  His suggestion afterwards that we organize a talent show or coffee house was a good one.  Most people in class really picked up on that and if we do the time, space and permission homework, it looks like a few people will get involved!  Great stuff.
