Former NFL Football coach, Vince Lombardi once said The price of success is hard work, dedication to the job at hand, and the determination that whether we win or lose, we have applied the best of ourselves to the task at hand.
Now is the time to start getting organized for your final exams. Start looking through the materials you are going to be tested on, ask your teachers questions and go for extra help, get your notes organized and cue cards made so that when exam week does happen, you are reviewing, not just getting refamiliarized with the material. This way you will be able to keep a healthy balance, and be less stressed and overwhelmed.

All the best to Mrs. Lindsay Albert who has accepted a position at UPEI, and will be taking a one year leave of absence from her position. Her final day with us will be this Friday, January 17. We will miss Lindsay for many reasons, but especially for her hard work and expertise in the office as well as her wonderful smile and disposition with staff, students and families. Be sure to pop down to say see you later and wish her well. 😊
We welcome Mrs. Nancy Cameron to this role. Mrs. Cameron is very knowledgeable of TOSH and has many years experience in our system. We are grateful she has accepted this position in Lindsay’s absence. 😊

The Rotary Club of Summerside’s Strive Scholarship Program recognizes the need for scholarship awards in all areas. They have created a scholarship program aimed at those who are struggling in life due to any variety of reasons, such as medical, personal, or family issues yet they “strive” to maintain or further their education despite the obstacles they face.
Successful candidates meet with Rotary Club members monthly (February to June) at TOSH during lunch.
Former Strive students have found these sessions to be very beneficial as the Rotarians offer insights into what employers are looking for, and help students develop skills in resume-building, job interviews, and delivering presentations.
When students have completed these sessions, the Rotary Club meets to determine the amount of bursary allotted to each student.
Eligibility, selection criteria information, and the application form are posted on the Grad Google Classroom and are available in the Student Services office. For any questions please see Ms. Schurman in Student Services or send an email to slschurman@edu.pe.ca.
Due date: January 30, 2024 (please pass into Mrs. Mills or Ms. Schurman in Student Services)
