Gananoque Secondary School Hosts Coffee House
Recognized as the only event at Gananoque Secondary School totally run by students, presented to their fellow students, Coffee House is ready for the Big Night on the 29th of April at 6 in the evening at the school.
Started 13 ago by English teacher Gail Simmons, this year’s event will be supervised by another English teacher, Patty West, together with music teacher Robyn Abelson.
West says that overseeing the project is part of her promise to Gail that she would continue to do the work started by the teacher a decade ago. Now that Gail has retired, the burden of continuing the spirit of Coffee House now rests upon her shoulders.
She adds that this event is a golden opportunity for students to showcase their talents. She points out that some of these kids don’t stand out in school, both academically and in sports, so it’s really great to see them do very well on stage.
Rehearsals for the show were recently held and the organizers now have a feel of who can play what songs.
In order to raise money for the show, the students will be hosting a silent auction to collect additional funds.
