Camp Couchiching Information Night

On Thursday February 24th, we had a representative from Camp Couchiching come to Boxwood to speak to some of our grade 8 parents about their facility. We are learning about the accommodations, food and activities they provide. Camp is a great way for students to engage in experiential learning! Our students are looking forward to a great camping experience.

Artistic Descriptive Writing at Boxwood!

Take a look at this amazing descriptive writing piece done by one of our talented students in Ms. Breckenridge's class. The task was to describe this thought provoking art piece. Simply fantastic and so proud.

`A thick pollution filled the air, her luscious locks spread across the sky. The remains of the ruined building fell into form; a body of rubble, cracked and tarnished. Her chiseled face, smooth and unblemished. In contrast to all else around her, she stood out, as glacial beauty such as her’s usually does. The construction’s windows were her eyes, gazing hopelessly at the destroyed land around her. There were shallow pools of water all around, a moat to the shattered castle. Behind her were factories still intact, emitting an opaque smoke, as well as a pungent odour. The hills of debris delivered a sense of forlornness, it’s grimy surface so rough and so rocky. She was the portrayal of glamour, washed away by the strains of time and the mistakes of humankind.
