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.

Outreach

OUTREACH

Every Wednesday, students do an Outreach project with an outside sponsor or teacher. This year, Ravi, our math. and science teacher is doing an outreach called" The Power of Food".  This group discovers new ideas about food in Toronto, through walks, talks and creation. Toronto is fortunate to have very supportive and innovative places like "Stop" that nourish their communities in education and food. "The Power of Food" group also creates menus, plans their own meals in our small kitchen.

Halloween

Halloween is a great time to use the arts to express yourself in costume.  At Inglenook Community High School, we have a contest were everyone has fun and there is candy for all.  In the Year of the Bee, we had an extraordinary amount of students dress up in very, scary and very spooky and satirical costumes.

Congrats to all on a great event....and art, scariness and beeing.

ArtFlash Mob

This year in Non Traditional Art, the class wanted to create an interactive intervention.  After many discussions, we decide to walk through the new subway trains serving food to the TTC riders. Student

created 'artserving boards' as a 'artprop' to serve food to the TTC customers. The class started walking through the train at King station and finally served all the food by Davisville station.  Smiles, questions, and  art-fun occurred during our artflash mob. Joy to all. Join the Inglenook experience....next info session August 28th at 1 p.m.  Have a good summer.
