The ceremony
Eliza is moving on to high school. On Tuesday evening, we watched her receive many academic and athletic awards along with her grade 8 certificate. We are so proud of her.
The school
Our principal and teachers planned a wonderful celebration for the students and their families. It was an evening filled with joy and love. We are thankful for Magnetic Hill School.
The poem
In my class, we learned about "chant poems". I wrote one about Eliza with my students and then they tried writing one on their own.

Eliza is strong
Eliza is strong, tenderhearted
Eliza is strong, tenderhearted and
Eliza is strong, tenderhearted and funny.
Beautiful sentiments for a lovely girl with so much ahead!

DeleteSo true! It's an incredible age! (What a dream you would be as a grade 8 teacher!)
The two classes went to Ottawa and Quebec City the week before the celebration...What an experience for them to share together! With the fundraising and more, it was a year of bonding for students, teachers and parents!
Thank you, Linda.
