You Heard it Here First:
When asked to share their start-of-the-year highlights and what they are most looking forward to in November, here’s what the SSC Team said …
Chelsea:
“My September highlight was attending my brother-in-law’s wedding and celebrating my niece’s second birthday. In October, I enjoyed some baseball in the beautiful fall weather, and I am looking forward to some great HCOS team-building opportunities in November.”

Allison:
“In September, I enjoyed meeting new HCOS students/families and getting back to routine. Celebrating and supporting our new HCOS Student Council and gathering for Thanksgiving with my family were two October highlights. As for November, I am looking forward to volunteering at the local food bank with the international students who live with us.”

Carlee:
“My September highlight was meeting so many new students and working with them on so many interesting problems and assignments! In October, I went road-tripping to Portland with my best friend Amanda! Something I’m looking forward to in November is my mom coming to Victoria to visit for a week!”

Taryn:
“In September, I was excited to dive back into work and reconnect with past students and meet new ones! I also enjoyed a couple of weekend trips with my sisters; my favourite was visiting the small town of Blue Mountain. Celebrating Thanksgiving with nearly my entire family – for the first time in many years! – was my October highlight. As for November, I am most looking forward to doing everything Christmas with my mom!”

Benjamin:
“My September highlight was moving into a new house and beginning reno’s. In October, I attended my brother-in-law’s wedding in Michigan. Something I’m looking forward to in November is continuing to meet new students and helping them with math!”
