HUM7: An hour at the Silver Birch Lodge, 9-10am

Syl_AppsOriginal 6:  The Toronto Maple Leafs won the Stanley Cup five times between 1944–45 and 1950–51

The grade 7s are going to be conducting fieldwork at the Silver Birch Lodge this upcoming Wednesday, Oct. 10th. We will be taking oral testimony and stories of Canadians who lived through the Dirty 30s, WWII, 50s, 60s, and until today.

We are asking for parents to equip students with a phone with a recording option, or other recording device such as a camera with video, to capture the interviews, however this is optional.

sock-hop-300x237We are also asking the grade 7s to dress up nicely. Time to break out those blazers, ties, shiny shoes, party dresses, nylons, bows, and cardigan sweaters. We know the Seniors came from a time of a strict dress code – no jeans in school! – and they’d like to see us look our best. Also feel welcome to wear any historical clothing of the 50s-80s. I’ll be in a poodle skirt in all likelihood! 🙂

Fieldtrip forms are due Monday Oct. 8th!
