The Last Lunch

Yesterday was the last lunch for students leaving this semester, this time at John Taylor Collegiate.  We had a special visitor, Valeska, who was a student here two years ago and back for a visit.  It's always great to see former students again!

Good luck with exams!

What We've Been Doing...

In the last week,  Erik tried out snow tubing,

we had lunch at Westwood Collegiate,

Julia came to our office and met Fred, the Health Care Aid mannequin,

and we had another goodbye lunch at St. James Collegiate.

Hard to believe this is the last week before exams!

Visit to the Canadian Museum for Human Rights

Yesterday evening we visited the new national museum located here in Winnipeg, the Canadian Museum for Human Rights.  It is a spectacular building, and a lot of students came on the museum's first free evening to check it out.  It is really worth visiting, and we will certainly be going back in the future.

Time to Start Saying Goodbye.....

Today we had our first  lunch to say goodbye to semester one students who are leaving us at the end of the month.  We had a Chinese food lunch at  Sturgeon Heights Collegiate this afternoon to say goodbye and also to get an early start on celebrating Chinese New Year. 

We'll be saying goodbye to Westwood, St. James Collegiate, and John Taylor students next week.  What a fast 5 months!

End of Winter Break

Last week was the end of the winter break, and we went for sushi, and also ice skating at the Forks.  The river trail was not totally open yet, but part of it was so people were able to skate on the river.
