Our last year here has been fun and exciting, and so have the past 10 years here at St. James School. In Kindergarten we were split into two classes. Some favourites were the blocks and having our own washrooms. There were interesting hair styles that year including Cody's mullet. Most of our class was together for the first time in Grade J, some were put into a 1/2 split class. We learned about marshmallow's warm fuzzies and cold prickles. We also celebrated reading with Mario parties. Our class was reunited in Grade 2 for our year -end -trip to Wawanosh Conservation Area where we went in the creek and caught bugs.

We had two year end trips, both locally. This year, Grade 8, was an important year for all of us. We prepared for confirmation with a retreat in Dublin. In November we celebrated the sacramentwith a gorgeous mass. We became good friends with our Kindergarten buddies. After March break Mr. Chisholm took a leave of absence and we welcomed Miss O'Connor to our class for the rest of the year. Most of the guys participated in a fun two -pitch tournament. Track and Field was very hot, but nevertheless many people from our class moved on to the meet in Goderich. The rest of us organized activities for an enjoyable Play Day. On June 21, we boarded a Gino's bus for our year end trip to' Quebec City. We stayed at a residence of Laval University in Ste. Foy. We visited museums, took a tour of Old Quebec and went swimming in the university pool. Also we shopped for souvenirs, danced on a cruise ship with around 900 other students, and viewed the amazing Basilica of Ste. Anne. It was an incredible and unforgettable year and school end trip.
