The infamous "Grade 13 Christmas Play"

Image
Omg it’s almost Christmas. At Duke of York, this was the most “fav-ou-rite time of the year” for us kids. We had candy-grams to buy and send out to our friends to help raise money for grad (yes, you get four Glen Coco); we had a festive spirit week to participate in that included Jammie Day, Silly Slippers Day, Santa Hat Day, Tacky Christmas Sweater “before it was a thing” Day, homemade gift exchanges with friends, Secret Santa shenanigans and, to close off the festivities – the Grade 13 Christmas play. This was the most exciting holiday event for any graduate from Duke of York. It was an all-inclusive production where every single graduate had a role either writing scripts, acting, producing skits, choreographing the dance showcase, music, overall logistics, AV crew, or writing the class song. We were to entertain the entire school for an afternoon – and mostly at the faculty’s expense. Sorry Mr. Farooqui. Grace was on student council and with drama being her jam, she was knee deep i...

What would virtual schooling look like in 1992

As fellow Canadian Michael Bublé sang, “it’s a new day, it’s a new dawn, it’s a new life” and it’s a new year. And January came in as a lion and is still baring its’ teeth. From the terror on Capitol Hill to lock downs and curfews here in Canada, we’re all left wondering what on earth is in store for us this year. I read a quote saying that 2021 smiled at 2020 and said, “hold my beer”. With what’s going on in the world, it had better be a strong one. #thestruggleisreal One struggle that is taking social media mommy groups buy storm that’s going on right inside homes all over our province that doesn’t involve a virus, unless it’s a virus on your computer – is the challenge of homeschooling their kids. Right now, families all around us are doing their best to keep their sanity while working from home, hosting zoom meetings with jam-stained shirts and dogs barking – their kids in school from the comfort of their kitchen table yelling every five minutes about the internet speed or that t...
