Dear friend at Ngeya school,

My name is Amanda . I am going to talk about my family. I have two brothers
And no sisters . I am the only one in my family . I have more girl cousins in my family.
I am going to tell you about my culture. I am from Guyana where its very hot there and they like to play cricket and soccer most of my family members are from Guyana.
I am going to tell you about what I like about school.What I like about school is home-time because at home time it is quite at my house. And I also like about school is that my friends and me laugh a lot and talk a lot.
I am going to tell you about my favourite thing to do I love to take photos which is pictures anywhere or anytime I could take pictures in the spring time. And when I am outside and I don’t have a camera with me I take pictures in my head


Sincerely:
Amanda =)

The Olympics are coming to Canada!


We are excited that the 2010 Olympic Winter Games are coming to Canada this year! Our school has been learning about the significance of the Olympic Torch, and eagerly awaiting the start of the games in one week.
We are especially interested in the games because one of the teachers at our school is a former Olympic athlete and a silver medal winner! Her name is Ms. McCormack and she teaches grade 8 and physical education. (That's her picture above) Here is her biography:

Forward Kathy McCormack did not play ice hockey for the first eight years of her life, and she spent the next eight playing on boys’ teams. She made her first appearance on a female team in 1991 at the Canada Winter Games representing New Brunswick, and later won a silver medal at the 1995 Canadian Championships and a bronze one at the 1996 edition with the squad. She joined the Maritimes Sports Blades club in 1996 and then qualified for the Canadian national team the following year. Her efforts earned her a trip to the 1998 Winter Olympics, where she suited up for six matches and took home a silver medal in the first official Olympic women’s ice hockey tournament. In 1999 she moved to Oakville, Ontario to skate with the Oakville Ice of the National Women’s Hockey League, but soon took up a job as a grade school teacher and retired from active play. As of 2009 she is a teacher at Albion Heights Junior Middle School in Toronto, Ontario. She carried the Olympic torch through her hometown of Blackville, New Brunswick in preparation for the 2010 Winter Olympics in Vancouver.

Girls Volleyball Team

Hey Kenya,
How are you all? Well, Albion Heights is doing just fine. If you haven't heard, Haiti was hit by an earthquake and many people died. The people who lost their family members really need everybody's help. So, we have decided to raise money to help Haiti by having a bake sale at our school. We have asked the students to bring some desserts like cookies and cakes to sell at the bake sale. Also we have asked the students to have a dress down day on friday, IF they donate $1 the students don't have to wear their uniforms, they can wear anything they want. All the money goes to earthquake relief in Haiti.
Hope you write back,
Albion Heights
