Come out and see The North Shore Celtic Ensemble at one of their upcoming
concerts on Nov 26th, 27th or December 4th! The sound of twenty fiddles with
guitars and piano must be experienced. Enjoy the style and spirit that brought them high praise and many standing ovations on their tour to Scotland last summer. And best of all, five of these fabulous musicians are former Ross Road Students!

This year at the Christmas Craft Fair, the very hard-working Ross Road Theatre Group will be performing a panto version of “Scrooge”, a retelling of Charles Dickens’ “A Christmas Carol” with songs and plenty of opportunities for audience participation!
Traditionally performed at Christmas, with family audiences, British pantomime is now a popular form of theatre, incorporating song, dance, buffoonery, slapstick , cross-dressing, in-jokes and audience participation. Straight re-tellings of the original stories are rare in the extreme – plot lines are often ‘adapted’ for comic or satirical effect, and certain familiar scenes tend to recur, regardless of plot relevance!
There will be two performances of “Scrooge” on Friday November 19th, each with a different cast.
6:15 pm & 7:15pm
In the Ross Road Gym
Tickets:
$4 adults
$2 children
This is an All-Access Pass that includes entry to both shows, as well as the Wandering Minstrels Talent Show from 5:00-6:00pm! What a deal!
The halls of Ross Road School are lined with lovely, thought-provoking artwork reminding us all of the importance of Remembrance Day.
Here is a slideshow displaying Remembrance Day art from November 2010 and November 2011.
We had a large number of students running and their good spirit and excellent sportsmanship is a credit to Ross Road. Of course, the weather was tremendous also. Ms. Frazee and Mme Tancon would like to thank our dedicated parent volunteers who made it possible to run some interesting trails. We would also like to thank Keith Nicoll for leading the students in their warm up at the meets and doing a big part with some of the set up for the meets. We look forward to seeing many of you out there next year. Well done Team Ross Road!
On Friday October 15th, 24 Grade 6 and 7 students attended the ME to We Event at Rogers Arena in Vancouver with Mme Yuen, Mme Naths and parent volunteers. This was a wonderful opportunity for Ross Road students to be with 18,000 other students interested and concerned with social change and international mindedness. We are proud of these students who stepped forward to embrace this excellent learning opportunity and look forward to what they will share with their peers and the community.
Ross Road proudly supports two sponsor children: Sheltine Abelard in Haiti and Dawa Damdul in Nepal. We are pleased to update you with positive news with regard to Sheltine Abelard. After the devastating earthquake in Haiti and much uncertainty, we are pleased to report that she has been found and is well. Ross Road will continue to support our Sponsor Children. If you would like to read more about the children, notices are posted outside the office.
Thank you to Ross Road teachers and local firefighters for putting on this wonderful community event! A great start to the new school year!
