It seems odd that a principal can just leave a school for a week to go on a field trip. However, for the first time in a very long time, the administrative team at Northwestern is exactly the same as it was last year. This is the third year that Mr. Smith, Vice Principal, has been in the school and both Mrs. Morris, Elementary Principal, and Mrs. Smith, Secondary Vice Principal, are there for their second year in a row. Mrs. Campbell retired two years ago as principal at Stratford Central, and she has agreed to come in for a few days to help out. I am completely confident that the school is in good hands and that this team is more than capable of taking care of the best interests of our students and our staff.
Over the years, our students have travelled across Canada through the YMCA Youth Exchange Program and this trip is through yet another of those exchanges. Their contact information is as follows:
YMCA Youth Exchanges Canada
Has your school group ever thought about exploring other regions of Canada, living in another community, meeting new people, learning Canada’s other official language, or exploring Canada’s cultural diversity? If so, YMCA Youth Exchanges Canada may be for you!
This group reciprocal home-stay exchange program is designed for groups of 10 to 30 participants between the ages of 12 and 17. Participants are twinned with same-age groups from another province or territory, and they take turns staying in each other’s homes for at least five days. Groups involved in outdoor activities can even arrange camp-stay exchanges.
