End of the Year at CMESS
It's been a busy time for staff and students at CMESS wrapping up the 2014-2015 school year. One Wednesday we enjoyed Fun Day, including and on Thursday we enjoyed a Celebration of Learning Assembly and BBQ.
The Awards Ceremony was lots of fun to watch and we were very proud to learn that over half of our student body made the honour roll. Our kids are working hard and seeing success! The students who were doing Independent Studies put on displays so we could see what they were learning and it was impressive, Everything from art, electrical work, pottery, writing, music, marine biology, to canoeing.
The school very kindly thanked me for my volunteer work serving breakfast everyday, sponsored by Breakfast Clubs of Canada. The principal presented me with a Kitchen Aid professional stand mixer, so that is an exciting new appliance for me to play with in the kitchen! Of course, it's my favourite colour, red to match "Ruby" our Vitamix blender.
This year we served well over 2800 free breakfasts to anyone at school who wanted or needed one, and I have to thank the kids for being so fun to work with. They are cheerful and fun first thing every morning, and they make it a pleasure to come in and volunteer.
Another exciting award was presented to Emily Lohn from the Tahsis Salmon Enhancement Society, for her excellent work with that organization. Emily received a beautiful framed artwork piece depicting a salmon by artist April White. Ms. White was honored last year by having "Salmon Tale" chosen for the 2015/16 Pacific Salmon Foundation's Recreational Fisheries Conservation Stamp.
Thank you to Frank, Lucille and Bill for showing such support to Emily in her studies of marine biology, and the salmon hatchery in particular.
We are so proud of the staff, volunteers, parents and students who make our school the heart of our community. Another year wraps up, and we are sadly saying goodbye to some families, Vansolkemas and Lohns, you will be sadly missed, but we wish you every success in the future, and we know you will be staying in touch.

CMESS Graduation 2015
Congratulations Ciara and Sam, your graduation ceremony was a beautiful occasion.
The graduates offered heartfelt gratitude to their school, their teachers, their parents, their friends and their town. During the speeches it was made clear these two positive leaders will be missed in our school culture. Both students were rewarded with numerous scholarships for their hard work, excellent grades and community involvement.
A large and generous team of volunteers were responsible for decorating, and assisting Santos Sharma from Oceanview Cafe put out a delicious meal of salad, pakoras, samosas, and a rich butter chicken over rice with naan bread. Several of the younger high schoolers acted as serving staff, and ran back and forth tirelessly serving our delicious meal. There were people in the kitchen finishing up the dishes until late in the evening. Alyssa Russell, Ciara's younger sister, provided the gorgeous cakes.
So, Sam and Ciara, it was a treat to meet your visiting families, and show everyone just how proud we all are of you both. Much love to you, and good luck as you venture out into the world as adults. In the words of Fern Eastcott, our school board trustee, "You are always welcomed to your home town of Tahsis. You are never alone."
