On October 21, we held the first Coffee House of the year, with the lingering smell of coffee, tea and hot chocolate plus treats, the evening was a success. Although the audience was scarce, the performers had a great time. These included, Jocelyn Leidy, Amber Lang, Al Friolet, Jacob Collings, Jacob Farell, Cole Reick, Sarah Wilson and Jessica Winterburn. We are looking forward to the Java and Jive Coffee House in April 2010. Nore information to follow.
Mr. Mullen and his guitar class are proving to be a source of inspiration for young guitarists everywhere!. For a week in November the class was led by Rick Finnes, a world renowned Blues artist, who brought the Blues alive for the students. A big thank-you to the Kincardine Blues Society, for allowing this to happen. Rumour is that they’re putting together duets and ensembles for the Christmas Concert, Malcolm Place and the Christmas Assembly!
Mrs. White’s Grade 9 music class enjoyed a trip to the Toronto Symphony Orchestra on October 28th, 2009. Our students joined other music students in the province at the Roy Thompson Hall to hear the amazing orchestra.They are fiercely working on Ensembles and Band music for the upcoming Christmas Concert, Christmas Assembly and Trillium Court Nursing Home.
In other news, rumours are flying that the Christmas Music Concert this year will be on December 15th, 2009, in the Cafeteria, 7-9 pm. Admission by donation with a canned good. Yummy treats, apple cider and eggnog will be served. All are invited!
FUNDRAISING NEWS! Music students are selling Poinsettias for the Christmas season. This is a great gift on a budget. All orders are due December 1st and will be delivered to KDSS on December 9th. Pick-up your flowers in the music room. Call 519-396-9151 ext. 626 to order.

Staying healthy in the Flu Season
Bluewater District School Board is working in partnership with Grey Bruce Public Health to prepare our schools to minimize the risk of exposure and control the spread of H1N1 flu and other influenza-like illness. We are following the Guidelines for the Prevention and Management of Pandemic (H1N1) 2009 in Elementary and Secondary Schools prepared by the Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care and the Ministry of Education. These guidelines are posted to the board website – http://www.bwdsb.on.ca/about_us/H1N1/Updates
Bluewater District School Board is in regular communication with Grey Bruce Public Health. They, in turn, are in regular communication with provincial and federal health authorities.
As a board, we follow the direction of health professionals on this important health issue. If the situation changes, we will make sure that you have the information quickly and accurately. Our priority is to make sure you have the information you need.

Fundscrip 2009
I would like to take this opportunity to thank everyone who has supported Fundsrip this year. Thanks to your efforts we have raised over $8000. With these funds we have been able to support a number of students who were experiencing difficulty paying for school events. In these tough economic times it is even more important to find ways of ensuring that everyone can participate in school events. If you don't already know about Fundscrip, please click here to find out how you can support our students.
