Making us Proud

Sommerville Manor School students receive reward for exemplary service-oriented attitude towards local Tim Horton's manager

On Wednesday November 9th five of our grade 7 students hurried off at 12 o'clock for their weekly off-site lunch and headed to the local Tim Horton's. Little did they know that this was to be the day that they unknowingly made us very proud at Sommerville.

Once they had ordered their lunch, the students went to look for a table, and were approached by the store manager, Mr. David Hoey, who offered to help them put two tables together so that the five of them could enjoy their lunch as a group. Not knowing that this person was the store manager, and feeling very grateful for his help, the students thanked him and one of them said, "Can I buy you a coffee?" At this point he disclosed to them that he was in fact the store manager, but thanked them for their offer.

The following day, Mr. Hoey came to the school to tell us how incredibly impressed he was with what had happened and the way in which the students had responded. He said they had "made his day!" To show his gratitude to them, he presented each of them with a Power Charging Mat, and donated a number of Tim Horton's gift cards to the school. A most generous gesture.

Congratulations to Myles, Edward, Alexa, Frances and Jasveen; your spontaneous behaviour made us all very proud of you. Well done!

Choir members take a short break after the holidays and in March our weekly practices begin again as we prepare our repertoire for the end of year Musicfest concert. All of the songs we sing in primary Choir are FUN, and the children thoroughly enjoy themselves. Many songs are action songs, which the children particularly enjoy and there are also opportunities for solo performances for those students who wish to showcase their talents on stage. It is always a joy to work with the Primary children in choir; they certainly know how to enjoy music!

The Yearbook Committee works all year round to put together a fun and accurate representation on the school year.  Our goal is to include the entire school body as we create a memorable book for each student to be able to look back on and remember.

We meet each Monday after school throughout the school year.
