Graduation Celebration & Christmas Party

The graduation celebration and party happened almost as planned, but the stormy weather meant that the number of students was much smaller than expected, so the graduation and party was held in J205. About 50 people attended.
Congratulations to Tamer, Stase, Armando, Hai Yan, and Isabel who did the best job ever of singing the "Happy Christmas" song, and to Matevos who joined them for the last three lines. After their song, everyone present enjoyed a quiz game with prizes, jokes, another song, some fine speeches, and a few LINC Youth videos, including one on Computer Networking "starring" Paula's son!
After the LINC 6 and ELT students received their graduation certificates, we had brunch - a meal between breakfast and lunch. People brought plenty of delicious food, desserts, and drinks to share.
If anyone has photos, it would be great if you could post them.
A big thank you to everyone for coming to help make this day special for the LINC 6 and ELT graduates, and best wishes to all for a very happy holiday!

Rules about Commenting on Blogs:

1. All of the “Rules about Blogging” apply to comments as well.
2. As a student, you must log-in to your account to leave comments. That way you don’t need to give out an e-mail address.
3. Other people will read what you write, so make an effort to write well.
4. Comments should have a purpose. “Dropping by to say hi” is not a purpose. Examples: the comments “Hey, Yihao, what’s up?” or “Maria, how’s it going?” do not have a purpose.
5. Please avoid the use of excessive chat lingo whenever possible (lol, ttyl, luv U, me 2, etc.)

Example of a good comment: “Hey, I read what you wrote about Shakira. She’s my favourite singer too.”

Example of a bad comment: “HEY U .I JUST WANTED 2 SAY WASUP!!!!!!! CALLME AFTER SKOOL IF U GET DIS P.S W/B TTYL”

4. Do not share your login information. Always sign out when you’re done.
5. Spelling and punctuation matter!
6. You can write about any school appropriate topics. Do not write about your personal matters or anyone else’s.

Why a Blog?

Here we can expand on the boundaries of the classroom! Students can talk about themselves, speak their minds, and comment about the world around them. Students can also create their own blogs.
