It's so wonderful seeing her participate and enjoy this experience though! Her director & music director are so dedicated to making them so professional, it's a phenomenal show (I may be a little biased.) If you're anywhere near us, come for a visit and see the show this Thursday, Friday or Saturday night! Most nights she (and we) will be at school until about 11pm. We love seeing and being around all the energetic teens who are working their tails off to put this show together. Either Graeme and/or I were there every single night. The last two weeks parents volunteer to cook and feed the cast and crew each night - musical suppers are a beloved tradition at Kennedy's high school. Well theatre production week is upon us and both we and Kennedy are running ragged between early morning calls for school shows then evening tech/dress rehearsals and then three night shows. I can't believe you need to be told this but holy smokes, do you ever need to be told. You need to apologize to this mother and to this child and to all of the other children who have been discriminated against. What are you teaching these girls, Girl Scouts of Gateway Council? That if you're different, you don't belong? Or you only belong to your group. There was never a question as to whether Kennedy "could" be a part of it, she just was, from the moment she walked in the door. ![]() I am ever so thankful that Girl Guides Canada was nothing like this and were absolutely incredible about ensuring that our daughter Kennedy was part of her neighbourhood Girl Guide Troop, from Sparks to Brownies, to Guides. Girl Scouts USA you ought to be ASHAMED if this discriminatory policy is how you operate! What's next? Maybe there should be a "caucasian troop" or an "african american troop" or a "blue-eyed troop". This makes me LIVID! (in case you hadn't already picked up on that) Our inclusion means those girls who are deaf don't need to interact with anyone else except other kids who are deaf. Rounding up all the girls who are deaf and grouping them together is the opposite of inclusion. Merriam Webster defines inclusion as: the act of including : the state of being included.

Inclusion is a core value in Girl Scouts, Girl Scouts of GatewayĬouncil is thrilled to be working with the Florida School for the DeafĪnd Blind to establish a second Girl Scout troop at the school for day More updates as the year progresses but for now, I'll leave this link for the album for the musical photos for all the non-facebookers who might be checking in (you don't need a fb account to view these):Ģ015-2016 Harbour View High School Musical Photos: Anything Goes What the director was able to elicit from these high school students in an intense, six-week rehearsal time-frame was astonishing-truly a great way to end her high school musical career. This year's musical was "Anything Goes" - I wasn't too excited when they announced what it was going to be but the show literally was mind-blowing. We are enjoying every minute of it as we know things will be different after this year although she is determined to stay involved with music and the arts through community choirs & theater groups. So it's been a year of "lasts" - the last first day of school, last Remembrance Day concert, last holiday show, last high school musical, etc. Now that 2016 has rolled around, it's even more real than it was in the fall when we had her graduation pictures taken. Well it's hard to believe it - she is graduating in June of this year. ![]()
