- GRADE 10 PERSONAL PROJECT EXHIBITION NIGHT
The 10th graders gave an impressive display on Wednesday of their Personal Projects. Students were articulate, enthusiastic and engaged in the whole process. Younger students visited throughout the day and were very excited and enthralled by the ‘inventions’ of many of the students. Congratulations grade 10 – you should be very proud of your work.
- EXAMS AND THE END OF THE YEAR
A detailed letter went out to all high school parents today via e-mail. There is a lot of information regarding the upcoming examination session and the end of the school year.
November is a peak time of learning for our students at FDR. Exams are starting in a few weeks and end of semester assignments are due. It is wonderful that FDR celebrates American Thanksgiving, but I urge you to encourage your children to do some studying over the four-day period. Once the 22 December comes, students are set for a well-earned 9 week summer break. Now is the time for hard work. Their efforts will pay off.
