Have a great weekend everyone! I'm very fortunate to have three wonderful groups of kids in my classes. I'm not just saying that because the year is almost over. :) 

Congratulations to Chelsea Cromwell for her $20,000 scholarship to CBU.  Be nice to her, she's going in for Nursing! :) :) :)  

Congratulations to Brody Bobbett for his scholarship to Dalhousie!
Congratulations to Cece Buckland for her scholarship to CBU!


Congratulations to those mean Ardellis! :)

You both won the Foul Shot Competition Round #1.  I issue a challenge to the both of you.  10 foul shots, once a week for the rest of the year.  I have a new coach Stevie Wonder. :)

Good job Sophia and Bianca!  I loved you saying 3rd place as you walked by me... so funny!

Building Futures for Youth Program (BFY)

This year BFY selected 7 students from across CBVRCE’s high schools for a work placement in the summer which not only pays students very well but counts as high school credits toward graduation.   This year, 5 of the selections were from the SAO2 program.  

They are:
Brennan Richard
Thomas Corbett
Peyton Barter
Nolan Riley
Kareem Sleem

Securing 5 out of the 7 positions in the BFY program in all of the CBVRCE speaks well to the calibre of students in the SAO2 program.

The Student of the Month Award

The Student of the Month in my class it 100% picked by me.  The gift is from me.  If a particular student has done extremely well during said month, they deserve to be rewarded.  "The three classes I have are the best students."-John Fraser.  Working with such young people is so rewarding and makes these difficult times great.  I am so thankful for your kids and I'll be there whenever needed. 

Take care and be safe,

John Fraser.

P.S.-I hope you don't mind me giving your kid a gift.  Josh will like the Oilers stuff and Connor will like the Niners stuff. :)  Take care everyone,

​JF.
