Night of the Notables -Initiation November 16, 2011

I’ve always seen night of the Notables as the initiation of the gr. 10’s and the gr. 9’s.

I’ll have to make this quick since I have vocal jazz tomorrow and I haven’t practiced the piano part for a while for an insanely contrapuntal song and I’ve really got to do it our face Mr. T’s wrath.

Anyway.

The grade ten speeches were wonderful as usual. I can sufficiently say that the gr. 10’s are now really gr. 10’s and are going to bring TALONS into the Renaissance.

I enjoyed the shorter speeches, and the theatrical part of the presentations and everyone used the “90seconds” very well -it must have been quite a challenge.

I really don’t have that much to say -but I think all the gr. 10’s picked the right people. Gr. 9 is usually ends up for exploring famous individuals that inspire you but you don’t truly connect with. Gr. 10 is when you learn about your person so much, you’ve literally reconstructed a fully living person in your mind and call them by their first name like a sort of long lost sibling.

The learning centers get more and more intense every year and I love it. I was able to power through nearly every single one and I had a wonderful sword duel, Nerf gun target practice, and found out I was Emma from Austen’s book, Emma. I also did a whole bunch of other things, like sing Taylor Swift karaoke and lots of other stuff, which was all really cool.

Gosh, the nostalgia!

I wish gr. 12’s still had a NON. I miss the creation of projects and getting ready for the grand entrance of the gr. 10’s in a little huddle in front of the talons room.

Ah, wonderful, wonderful night!
