Boarders meet in the parking lot by the infirmary at 4:30 on Monday. We'll drive to Eclectic Gallery: 2170 Oak Bay Ave. All other students please be at the gallery by 4:50. Plan to stay for at least an hour. Bring parents, friends, family.
In lieu of the time you are giving to this event, Tuesday's period 5 class will be cancelled. Use the time to work on your manuscript or on choosing and revising the two poems for our first contest.
Bring two hard copies of poems to be handed in for a final edit to class on Thursday, Jan. 12. I'll edit them and return them to you the next day. We'll meet in the Science Building computer lab Friday morning period 1 to edit and then email these poems to the National Poetry Contest. If you feel you would like more time to edit, submit these two poems to me earlier in the week and I'll get them back to you quickly. You can visit http://www.youngpoets.ca/ to read previous junior and senior winners. This contest is one of the most prestigious ones in the country. Good luck. You deserve to win!!
