Music:
Attention all grade 10-12 Horton Band students! Extra-curricular, Socially-distanced Senior Concert Band and Jazz Combo will begin in the not so distanced future! We’re going to get things started the week of September 28th! Sign-up sheets are now posted on the bulletin board in the Music Department. Senior Concert will begin on Friday, October 2nd at 8:00am and run until 8:30. Jazz Combo will begin on Monday, September 28th after school from 3:30pm – 4:30pm! If you have any questions, please e-mail Mr. Cameron or drop by the music department anytime to check in. More information will be posted as it becomes available, so stay tuned!
Library:
Although the library is physically closed, Mrs. Jacquard is still here on her regular days of Tuesdays, Thursdays and alternate Mondays and the books are still available to be borrowed.
Students can search for books by author, title, subject and keyword on the online catalogue (on the Horton website under Students you will see Library Catalog and also Library website), and then once you have made their choice you can email Mrs. Jacquard at sylviajacquard@gnspes.ca with your book requests, or, the faster option once you know how, log in and put the books of your choice on hold in Alexandria (the name of the library catalogue). A how-to video will be on the library website soon or just come and ask Mrs. Jacquard for a demonstration. This procedure will also be demonstrated when Mrs. Jacquard visits English classes.
Books can be picked up at the Library Door at recess/lunch break or they will be delivered to you in class. Students are also welcome to come to the Library Door at recess or lunch break to use the catalogue with me to find a book which I will then retrieve from the shelf for them.
