Boys,
I spent Sunday afternoon at a luncheon at the school with parents, teachers and old Feildians to begin the planning for next year's 165th. anniversary celebrations. I gave a short talk about the history of the school as there are parents in the school who do not know about our long and illustrious past. We had lunch and then broke up into groups to chat about some of the ideas the staff had developed and we added others for discussion.
Here are some of the ideas presented:
Opening Assembly in September, Birthday Cake, Open Doors and Archives Exhibit, memory Tree
October: Alumni Meet and Greet, Mystery Speaker, Video Stories of Bishop Feild
November: Remembrance Day Event at War Memorial, honour role
December: Christmas Concert/Carol Service at The Cathedral
January 2010 Fireworks and Hot Chocolate
February: Link with BFS sister school in Kidlington, England
School wide quilt, students, parents
March: Heritage Fair 165 years of schooling in newfoundland and Labrador
April: Variety Show
May: Alumni Variety Show, Art Exhibit and Sale, Anniversary Dinner
June: Closing Ceremonies, Presentations by Classes, Plaque
These are some of the ideas generated primarily by staff. Please give us your input; we need ideas, ideas, ideas. At the meeting today one parent had the idea of creating a Feildian Flag!
