Chair Art Show

Athina's Craft ART 11/12 Had an project assignment to design and build a chair.  Seems like an easy task...but where to start? What is a chair? What can a chair say about our society, our psyche, our ideas about "chairness' and philosophy?  The class did a wonderful job at designing and building their chairs.  Watch out Milan! Here comes Ingl'design.

Obscure Clothing Day!

Clothing...we all enjoy creating our personalities with clothes.  But what about the obscure piece of clothing that you received at a birthday that you have not worn.  Inglenook Community School is have a Obscure Friday Dress event to appreciate the WONDER!

Outreach

Epiphany is an Inglenook student, who enjoys her academic courses, being part of the student council and Outreach.  Epiphany would like to enter a program at university in environmental studies.  At Inglenook, you as a student, do not have to sacrifice your hobbies, interests because of program or bias.
Epiphany is currently completing her Outeach at Matthew Genser salon.  Epiphany always has wanted to learn about hair dressing, colouring, hair styling and now through her Outreach, she is able to nourish her non academic interest. " The Genser Salon is a great place.  The owner sings Disney songs and the atmosphere is great.  I don't want to be a hair dresser but have always wanted to explore it as an interest."

It can be done....'combing' your interests and academic! Ha!  Congrats....Epiphany.

Ice Cream Infinity day

Ice Cream Infinity Day. last day of classes Semester 1

Inglenook Community High School celebrated the almost last day of the first semester with it's Ice Cream Infinity Day party. Ironically, it was the coldest day of the year, but students who were working hard to get in there final term work, appreciated the sweetness of the idea. And...it is not alternative to eat ice cream in the middle of winter?  I say yes, and so did students and teachers. What a wonderful way to have closure on due dates for assignments and term work.  Eating a 'Cookies and Cream' ice cream cone.

Outreach

Outreach is an essential program at Inglenook.  We would like to share a great new story about Outreach.  Erik Shaw is working with E.G.A.L.E. sponsor (Equity for Gay and Lesbians Everywhere). With their guidance, Erik is designing school curriculum to be LGBT inclusive.  His goal is to share his research with teachers to create a more diverse curriculum in History and Social Sciences.  Recently, Erik has taught a class in Classical studies, and researching a curriculum for Ancient Civilization grade 11 course. Erik has recently been asked by O.I.S.E. and the Durham board to give LGBT training for teachers in sensitivity and acceptance.  We at inglenook are very proud of Erik and wish to commend Erik for his service to create better educational environments.

Experience Edulearning

Learning is an experience! It can be fun! At Inglenook, we try to have a holistic understanding of learning and education. In Philosophy, while studying Epicurus, the students made 'posters' to 'wake up' the populus about the dangers of commerism.  In World Issues, students are constructing models of sustainable communities. To enjoy learning is to motivate learning. Thanks students and teachers for their courageous sense of wonder.
