Dear Parents/Students,

I hope this post finds you well and that you enjoyed your summer vacation! I just wanted to wish you all the best of luck this year.  Hopefully, you haven't forgotten everything over the last couple of months.  Remember to give your best effort this year and start off the school year with successful study habits.  Also, remember to enjoy every minute of it! 

My summer vacation was amazing.  I was fortunate enough to travel through Ethiopia, Kenya, Tanzania and South Africa this summer with my wife and family. It was absolutely incredible, but unfortunately, I wasn't able to climb Mt. Kilimanjaro.... I'll just have to do it next time I'm there! 

You may want to take the time to unsubscribe from my blog in order to not receive any more emails from me this year.  As I will be working in a different area, many of my posts won't really be useful for you.  

All the best,

Mr. Punnoose

Dear Parents and Students,

I just wanted to leave a final Thank you to every one of you who made this year so special.  I was touched by the cards, emails and kind words that you left me with and consider it a privilege to have taught you this year.  You demonstrated a strong work ethic and exceeded my expectations.  Moving forward into my new position, I will carry what I have learned from you.  Enjoy your summer and be safe.  If you ever need to contact me or update me on your lives, please email me - paul.punnoose@yrdsb.ca

My final blog post of the year!

Movie day tomorrow! 

Make sure you share your movies with me on google drive. 

Report Cards have been handed out. Please review your child's grades.  All of the grades are based on the work that we have done and that has been handed back.  There should be no surprises as there was a blog post for every assignment that was handed back.  

I was touched by the final addresses that you had today and am proud of the presenters that you have become.

No homework today.  

Tomorrow we will begin the 2 final English assignments: 1) The final address speech: You will be required to deliver a 2 minute (minimum) speech to the class. 2) Letter to yourself: You will need to write a letter to yourself which I will collect and give to you in 10 years from now! Make sure it's detailed and thorough.  I will be providing time for you to complete this throughout the week.  Both are due on Monday.
