Change
was in the air as we entered our second year as a middle school.
Mr. Hunter took over as Principal and we grew to 12 full Advisory
classes - 4 in each grade. We continued to build on the success
of our first year developing a safe, positive culture of learning
and began focussing in on our literacy and numeracy goals.
Our
music program continued to be among the best in the province
with bands popping up all over the place. Jazz bands and combos,
concert bands and strings groups among others could be heard
in our halls every day. A highlight of the year was the Touring
Band's trip to Disneyland in May.
Our
television studio - Studio 85 - was on the air every day this
year bringing important news and
notes (and the odd ODD performance) to the students.
As
the year drew to an end we said good-bye to two longtime Glanford
teachers who both made the transition from Glanford Elementary.
Mr. Durrance (Retired) and Mrs. Macaulay (A new assignment)
embodied the spirit of GMS and will be sorely missed.
Entering
our third year we looked forward to more growth and to the
return of our Principal, Mr. Scigliano, from sabbatical to
take over the reigns of the BEST MIDDLE SCHOOL IN VICTORIA!
