Hi to students Mary Jane Norris Elementary School
Yesterday Larry Loyie and myself (Constance Brissenden) braved the snows and drove to Surrey, BC, to talk to the wonderful students at the Mary Jane Norris Elementary School.
We talked to three groups -- gr 4&5 with some gr 3's, then gr 6's, then gr 7's. And I promised the gr 7's that I would mention them in our blog.
Which is neat because we are lazy bloggers. But a promise is a promise. Here is our first blog of 2007.
So hi to the students and staff and First Nations advisor Debra Merrier. Thanks for a fun day... you were our first presentations of the year. That made them extra special. Your questions were good and we enjoyed joking around as well as being serious!
Coming up:

I have vague, extremely vague, memories of grade one at Mary Jane Norris. This school was one of a total 13 elementary schools I attended through Surrey and Delta in the 60's and 70's. (3 junior highs and one senior high before I graduated) I wish I had some memory of the teachers. Up until recently I still possessed my report card from MJN. I'm in my late fifties now. Years seem to have passed so quickly.
