Looking for Volunteers
Hey everyone,
Mrs. Oades has asked that I send out a notice to see if any of you former St. James students would like to come out and volunteer this Thursday night (January 14th) from 6-8pm? We would love to have the extra help and it could give you an opportunity to connect with St. James again.
Anyone who happens to see this post please pass on the invitation.
You can respond via the blog, Twitter, email, or call the school.
Thanks,
Mr. Purdon

Urgent!!!! I need a few video clips!
I know that this is very short notice, but I'm looking for help from you guys. Ms. Larson is retiring and I want to put a short video together where students are saying what they liked best about her and what they remember most about her. If someone wants to do a few video clips of students who had her as a teacher and can get those to me via email or share another way, I'd really appreciate it. I think Ms. Larson would too.
Time is of the essence..... I'd need clips by Wednesday December 16th at the latest.
Mr. Purdon

The "Brad" rap. By:Keira, Chloe, and Jewel.
So let me tell you how this all started. One day, Chloe brought these little 3D animal erasers with attachable and detachable body parts. One day, we lost the heads of the giraffe and koala bear. So, I put the body of the koala onto where the head of the giraffe went, without the yellow of giraffes body, and made Brad. We like Brad so much that we made a rap about him. Here's how it goes...
Brad rap
Brad rap
It's Brad,
He's a little British lad,
Who lives with his dad,
In the little man pad,
It's Brad,
He may be French just a tad,
His best friend is Chad
In math he can add,
He's Brad,
He thinks Webkinz are a fad,
He only wears plaid,
And his landlord is Vlad,
It's Brad,
He's really, really rad,
Sometimes he's sad,
But mostly he's glad,
It's Brad,
A hat is something he had,
He rarely gets mad,
It's Brad,
Yeah, yeah,
Oh yeah,
It's Brad!

Something I needed to say! :)
Hello, everybody! Wow, haven't posted on this in a while... My laptops broken again! Right now I'm on my iPhone and it's working pretty well! I just wanted to say that I wish the best of luck in grade 7 and I wish you luck with the grade 6s this year. :)
In the week that I've been at Vance Chapman, everyone has been pretty nice! And yes, I know sometimes it's hard to be yourself and make new friends there but the key to make friends is to be your nice and friendly self! And then get them to sign a form saying they can't back out of this friendship... So once they sign it, they're stuck with you and you can be your crazy, kind, funny self! ^.^ Hahaha, I'd just skip the form and be myself if I were you. ;)
Teachers can be scary for a while but not because you think they're mean or anything, it's because you don't really know them and you start to think that if you do something wrong, they'll think of you differently. Don't even think about that! The best way to become familiar with a teacher is to talk to them, have conversations! Teachers aren't meant to frighten you, they're meant to be a guide and help you with any problems even if the problems happen outside of school. They are a helping hand for you. If you have any concerns about your teacher, talk to them, or your parents, or even the principal! The school can always book a private parent-teacher interview.
Hopefully everyone had an amazing summer! I know most people don't want to go back to school but you need the education to help you in life. I find it funny when people come to school and act like they hate it, but then at the end of the year, they don't want to leave! :D Just think on the bright side of things and it will sure get you through the year!
I am pretty sad about leaving St. James... I've been there for 8 years so it was like a home to me. It's not just the school itself that I miss, but I really miss all of the teachers there, and my friends there. The memories of it makes me think about how I'm never going back... Sure I had my ups and downs there but they helped me learn and every mistake that I made helped me become a better student. Look at me now! I have successfully completed 8 years of my life and it's all because of the teachers who taught me and my friends who helped me understand! I feel like I'm doing well in school at this point because I pay attention and every time I start to day dream, I remind myself that this lesson will help me in life and that I need to pay attention if I want to go to a great college and do well in life, So SNAP! I quickly start to pay attention! Maybe you guys could try this if you get off track! :)
Lastly, I know that everyone will do amazing this year! Not everyone is at Vance so just to make it clear, I'm talking to everyone no matter what school you go to. I would enjoy to see you soon, Mr. Purdon! :) And yes, I am going to invite teachers from St. James to come to the grade 8 graduation next year! ^.^ For everyone going to Vance, I'll see you tomorrow, for everyone going to another school, I hope to see you soon, and for all of the teachers at St. James, I know that I'll see you soon c:
Okie dokie! I will try to post more chapters of my book but today I just wanted to focus on school! Have a great year! Mkay, bye! :D

How's life at Vance?
Things at St. James have got off to a smooth start, except that our photocopier has been broken for 8 days and the power went out first thing yesterday!
I hope your transition to intermediate is smooth. I know you all will do well.

YouTube
Think for a moment. Think of your future YouTube channel. What would the name of it be?
And Also what would you do on it?
The name of mine would be PSplayer200.
I would play Minecraft, GTA V, Battlefront I and II, the Spyro series, and CoD Z.
I would also make daily vlogs.
Who wants to start one?

Tragedy- Part 6
Ow, stick in the thigh. And... Over a tree root. That's not fun.
I get dragged by my underarms deep into the forest. The rain is still coming down in large amounts and my clothes are probably now more mud than they are clothes. Sticks, rocks, and mud come shooting up as this strange person pulls me. Then a thought occurs to me. I'm currently being dragged through the forest by a total and complete stranger, my car doors are still open, I have no clue where I'm being taken, and yet I'm not screaming or calling out for help. Well it's never to late to start.
So I scream. I yell, I scream, and I call out for help.
"HELP! GRIFFIN! HEEEEELLLP!" I stop and gasp for air. Maybe screaming isn't the best idea saying that I have a bag over my head... Who cares.
"HELP ME! LET ME GO! LET ME GO YOU LITTLE-"
I stop screaming immediately. I swear I just heard a gun being loaded. I'm not being pulled anymore. No no no. My eyes begin to water and my lips quiver. I try not to cry out but I'm so terrified that my forehead begins to hurt. I let out a whimper and then a heavy foot stomps on the ground sending up sparks of mud.
"Say one more word and I shoot!" Booms the stranger. The voice sounds like it belongs to a woman.
The lady rips the bag off of my head and throws it into the forest. I take in a big breath and look behind me. The rain is still falling but I can see a woman with pixie-cut brown hair and clothes that look like they haven't been properly washed in weeks. Her jeans and T-shirt are coated in a thick layer of dirt and her skin is dirty and drenched. She looks at me and turns me around by the shoulders with one hand, as the other hand is occupied by a gun. The woman lets me go and holds the gun steadily in front of me.
"Who are you?" Says the woman through a loud boom of thunder and heavy rain.
I don't respond.
"I said, who are you?" Says the lady, louder than before.
I decide that she may shoot if I don't answer.
"I'm Dr- Drew A-A-Andrews." I say in a worried voice.
The woman lowers the gun and moves closer to me. She kneels down and takes out a hunting knife that she puts behind my back. I start to hyperventilate, but then I calm down as the lady only cuts the rope that was binding my hands together. She rises and looks at me with a puzzled look.
"Sister?"
