The Grade 8 students have been an integral part in digging into our monthly chapel theme or throughline. Each month, these students have presented a play written by Mr. VandenBurg.
Mr. V took all the throughline plays from each month and
wove them together into one play called Wholines.
The Grade 8 class performed this play for some of our sister schools and parents, grandparents, students and friends a few weeks back.
Last Thursday and Friday, the students took the play on the road!
After a 4:30 am departure, the first stop was Trenton, Ontario.
The students performed several of their band pieces under the direction of Mr. T.
They then shared the Wholine play.
Then it was on to Ottawa to tour the parliament buildings.
While waiting for the bus, the students did a "flash mob" with a fun song they shared at the talent show. There were a lot of residents of Ottawa,
in rush hour traffic who amused and entertained!
a tour of the parliament buildings and a quick hello with MP Rick Dykstra,
the students traveled on to Metcalfe where they were billeted for the night.
The next morning, our students share their music and play again.
After packing the bus for a third time, it was off to Cobourg for a third and final presentation.
The students did such a wonderful job! Each of our hosts were full of thanks and praise for what the students had shared.
It is wonderful when we can share gifts with others and to God's glory.
