What a great couple of weeks at Confederation Park School!  We had an amazing Art Show that was organized and executed by our PAC.  The Art Show was a wonderful evening filled with music, fun and of course…student art.  Simply stunning!  Then we were treated to a one week residency with Marian Rose on community dance.  Marian commented on how respectful and open our students were in trying new dances.  We had a full, sweaty night of dance on Thursday evening and then a formal performance from our students on Friday afternoon.  Such skills and enthusiasm everyone!  Somewhere in all this I was honoured to take my very special choir to the Bayshore to spread Christmas Cheer to many senior citizens.  The senior citizens look forward to this annual tradition of a turkey lunch and music from our choir.  We were presented with a recognition award for being part of this yearly tradition.  Whew! and we still have a couple more weeks to go!  

Our residency with Ms. Marian Rose will run Nov. 28 – Dec. 2nd.  In this amazing week, students, teachers and parents will learn some new folk and social dances!  Be sure to come to our BIG EVENING OF COMMUNITY DANCE on DEC. 1st, 6:30 – 8:00.  You will not want to miss it.  Also, DEC. 2nd, 1:15 will be a time when classes will perform some of the dances they have learned throughout the week!
