Spring has sprung, the grass is riz, I wonder how much more homework there is.
On, Wednesday, May 1, MSS held the Joan Mantle Trust Fund Music concert at 7 pm. The MSS Senior/Concert Band started the concert with ‘O Canada,’ ‘Pirates of the Caribbean’ and ‘Barber of Seville.’ Next, the Central Manitoulin Public School (CMPS) Band took the stage, directed by Mrs. Scott. The CMPS 6/7 class played ‘Rolling Along,’ ‘Go Tell Aunt Rhodie’ and ‘Lightly Row.’ The CMPS 7/8 class played ‘Lightly Row,’ ‘Au Claire de la Lune,’ and ‘London Bridge.’ The CC McLean band, directed by Mr. Scott played ‘Listen to Our Sections’ and ‘Hot Cross Buns.’ The Assiginack Public School Band, also direct by Mr. Scott, played ‘Mozart Melody,’ ‘Doddle All the Day,’ ‘Menuet,’ ‘Hard Rock Blues,’ and the ‘Banana Boat Song.’ The MSS Grade 9 music class took the stage next playing ‘Nighthawk’ followed by the Grade 10/11 music class playing ‘Rock Around the Clock.’ The MSS Vocal Group sang ‘A Million Dreams’ and ‘I am Still Your Dreamer.’ To end the concert, all the MSS music classes, concert band and elementary schools came together for a mass performance of ‘Savage Dance.’ Thank you to everyone who came out to listen to the beautiful music!
A music joke for you: What concert costs 45 cents? 50 Cent featuring Nickelback.
The tennis season has started! The first two practices were held Thursday, May 2 and Monday, May 6, after school. There is still a chance to join! Speak to Mr. T for more information. The first competition coming up soon. A tennis joke for you:
Why is tennis a noisy game? Because each player raises a racket.
Tonight, Wednesday, May 8 at 6:30 pm, MSS is hosting a post-secondary school information night for parents and students. The workshops include, stress management, financial management, time management and making good choices.
On Saturday, May 11, MSS SHARE/Go Green is holding “WE Walk for Water.” WE Walk for Water is a youth led event to promote respect for the water systems and care for the earth.

You can participate in the Water Walk many different ways!
