I was able, using my brilliance, to secure some funding for our school through
MFNERC to put on a art festival. While it was unfortunate that the festival had to take place before the end of the year (Christmas takes over once November ends) it was still a great opportunity to showcase student work which normally doesn't see the outside of the classroom.

The only space large enough to put up all this art is the gym, so that meant we could only have the event run one day. We had a poor parent turnout (there was recently a death in the community), but those who did come enjoyed themselves.

While I didn't get work from every class, the work I did get was excellent. A few classes, including our own, also performed songs and poems. Usually when we have school concerts it's only the parents who are invited to watch. This is a real shame and we wanted to give teachers the option to have their students enjoy the performances as well.
Our classes performed "Stubborn Love" by the Lumineers, "Little Ghost" by the White Stripes, and "Rude" by Magic. While they were a bit nervous, they did really well. Alex and I are very proud of all of their hard work.
It got very cold in the last few weeks of school, and indoor recess can be really boring. To solve this problem we managed to get a ping-pong table a few times to hold a Tournament Magnifico!
