Thank You to all the Library Elves!
On Friday, December 7th, the Library hosted its annual Christmas-Winterfest party at lunch. If you've visited the Library of late, you'll have noticed that it is quite decked out for the holidays. Thanks to Ms. McKenzie and all the monitors, who have made snowmen and reindeer decorations for all staff and students to enjoy.
Our Senior Monitors were also responsible for organizing both the Staff invitations, as well as the entertainment. We have a very talented musical community at RHS, and the students' renditions of "Rudolph" and "We Wish You a Merry Christmas" were a delight to all!
Many thanks to everyone who took part in our "Friends of the Library" event!

A Day of Remembrance
Many thanks must go out to all students and staff who presented a wonderful tribute to those who lost their lives for the sake of others. It is with our loved ones in mind that we are grateful for the peaceful nation that we have, and hopefully may continue to have well into the future.

Annual Hallowe'en Party!
On Friday the Library Club held its annual Hallowe'en party! Delightful goodies and treats were prepared by Ms. McKenzie, and the students participated in some classic, but fun party games. Nothing too spooky, but lots of fun! No doubt, everyone will be in costume on Wednesday....
Thanks to Jeyn Roberts!
Both staff and students enjoyed Jeyn Roberts' presentation immensely on Monday. Not only did she discuss the whole process of writing novels and having them published, but also Jeyn explained the details behind the scenes. It was fascinating to hear how one may make a living at writing, how potential books become the "chosen ones," as well as the possibilities of one's work becoming a film. This discussion allowed a window into a world not normally known of to everyday people. Thus it was quite delightful!
Jeyn found the questions inspiring and thought provoking, some of which she clearly had never encountered! So a good session was had by all!

WELCOME, JEYN ROBERTS!
Today we are very honoured to have Jeyn Roberts, author of Dark Inside and Rage Within, come to Richmond Secondary and speak to our English 9, IB 12 and Pre-Employment students. Not only has Jeyn offered to discuss the writing process, but she will also talk about her works and will entertain questions from the students.
We are very excited to have this opportunity and most grateful to Jeyn Roberts for offering her services!

Happy Thanksgiving!
Celebrate Thanksgiving by reading a new book! Check out the selections in the Library and simply present your GoCard to borrow items. It's that easy!
Throughout the week, we have been conducting Library Orientations for new students to Richmond Secondary. By doing so, our new Grade 8's and ESL population may be familiar with Library procedures and materials available to them! We encourage everyone to come out and borrow a great read!
Finally, many thanks to our Monitors and Ms. McKenzie for all their efforts in making our Library such a welcoming, festive place!
Best wishes to all our Richmond Families for a safe and restful Thanksgiving weekend.
