Christmas Time at Heights

Christmas time at Heights is a time for giving. We raise a tremendous amount of money each year for the needy at Christmas, as well as gathering food donations for the food bank in Guelph.

It is also a time for celebrating and enjoying ourselves and our friends over the next two weeks and into the holidays.

What does Christmas mean to you?

What does COMMUNITY mean to us?

Our communities are a very important part of our lives. One of the communities that we are already involved in is the school community of College Heights.

Being involved in your community can make your life much more enjoyable. You get to know more people in your community, make new friends along the way and have fun doing it.

Volunteering some of your time is definitely a part of our everyday lives in our communities these days. I am currently volunteering some of my time to the community theatre group as a sound technician. I am providing the sound and my experience to plays going on in my community theatre.

How would you like to volunteer some of your time to your community, or are you already doing that? Tell us how.

Halloween...ooh, scary!!!

Well, let's see, my greatest experience on Halloween night was going to my neighbour's house, where they built up a grave yard on their front lawn, with coffins on the grass. We walked toward the house and all of a sudden, a coffin opened and, wow, that was frightening as a body sat up.

We moved along quickly and all of a sudden we saw Jason on the roof of the house, goalie mask on his face and a hatchet in his hand, glaring down at us. We got our treats and turned to see another gruesome looking creature, glaring at us...we ran as fast as we could and he followed us up the street.

What a blast, as scary music filled the air! It was very scary!

Guest Speakers @ Heights

Wow, what a cast of new faces at Heights. I liked them all. But I would say that my favourite, from an entertaining point of view, was Mitch Dorge, drummer of the Crash Test Dummies (the guy with the rubber chicken).

His presentation was so diverse, starting out with entertaining background and upbringing, followed by some fun and games for our students, and finishing off with some educational info about drugs. What a speaker!!!

Thanks Mitch!

Heights Hits the Football Field

Unfortunately I did not get out to cheer our team on...I was sick, had to take the day off to recover. I'm sure I've missed a terrific game :-(

End of the Second Week Back

End of the second week...well let's see, what have I enjoyed the most?

I would say that what I've enjoyed the most was meeting up with students who are returning to College Heights. Here for another fun filled year of learning!

Day 1 @ Heights

It's been an enjoyable first day at Heights as I have meant my future clases for the next 5 months and think we will have some great times.

Many students are attending my class for the second consecutive year as they enter grade 10. Looking forward to working on the many projects we will do over the course of the semester.
