L'Immersion Française à OTHS: Notre Voyage à St-Donat!


Cette année scolaire, nous allons commencer une tradition ici à OTHS: notre voyage à St-Donat, Québec!  Tous les élèves de la 9ème année-- qui sont dans le programme d'immersion ici-- ont la chance d'aller.  Je suis tellement content que nous avons reçu beaucoup d'intérêt: cette année, nous allons prendre 20 élèves d'OTHS avec nous!  Nous allons voyager aussi avec l'école Iroquois Ridge, et ils ont 23 élèves (des programmes immersion et français cadre) qui vont aller avec nous. 

A reminder for parents: the second payment of $275 (cheques made out to OTHS) should be submitted to Mr. Yull in workroom 206 by tomorrow (Friday, November 1) if possible. 

Merci!

Qui est M. Yull?

I'm in my 13th year of teaching, and my first here at OTHS.  In the past, I've taught at Acton High School (3 years), North Peace Secondary School in British Columbia (3 years), Dalewood Middle School in Hamilton (4 years), Iroquois Ridge High School (2 years), and now...here I am at OT!  I've been so lucky to have met so many fantastic students throughout my career, and I look forward to working with the enthusiastic students of Oakville Trafalgar!   

If you need to get in touch with me outside of school hours, please send me an email message at: yullj@hdsb.ca.  

During the school day, I teach during periods 2, 3 and 5.  When I'm not teaching, I can found in workroom 206. After school, I can be found in the weight room with students until 4:15 on Tuesdays and Thursdays. I'm also the "coach" of one of our awesome Intermediate Reach teams-- we can be found practicing until about 4 o'clock in room 202 on Wednesdays.  

A tradition I hope to begin here is the grade 9 French Trip to St-Donat, Quebec (taking place this school year from Feb.9-12, 2014). Last year, we took 40 students from Iroquois Ridge, and in the past I've taken students from Acton and Dalewood.  An amazing time has always been had by all-- I'm sure this year will be no different!
