Alchemy Performance Rocks
Shakespeare's Got Talent
, a takeoff on reality television, was the title of our annual Alchemy Evening Performance. Students from both the Upper and Lower School were involved throughout the production and from the ovation at the end of the evening, the night was a rousing success. The grade 5 "Rappers" stole the show but special mention should go to the staff Spice Girls. Kudos also to the judging panel: Evan Hanoun, Valerie Schullan and Fanta Kamara as well as to MacBeth: Ella Purtill, the Fool: Kelly Rosen and to Puck: Aleksandra Vujic. Our night should have been titled, "Mac Students Got Lots a Talent"!!
Thanks to all the individual students, high school classes and teachers working behind the scenes who made the evening so enjoyable. Special thanks goes out to our Planning Committee: Valerie Capon, Gregory Dominato, Tom Taylor, Christine Butterfield and especially Joanne Stark. Bravo!!
Hair Today, Gone Tomorrow
"A stigma is placed on those living with mental illness by the society we live in and this is largely due to the fact that people just don’t understand. For this reason, most people are unwilling to talk to others and the stigma continues. Upon realization of this reality, I set out to do something about it." Owen Hanmer, grade 10 MacLachlan College student.
Owen's fundraiser had two main goals: to raise awareness of mental health and the stigma that surrounds mental illness, and to raise money to donate to the Centre of Addiction and Mental Health (CAMH), Canada’s largest mental health and addiction teaching hospital. Owen spoke passionately about this worthy cause and his efforts to achieve both goals in both Upper and Lower School Assemblies at his school.
Owen's target of $2,000 appeared at first to be quite ambitious but he easily exceeded his target and raised $3,100 with one anonymous donor making up the difference to a total of $5,000!!
Owen also donated all of his shorn hair to a program that makes wigs for cancer patients.
