20 - The Oakville Beaver, Friday March 30, 2007 www.oakvillebeaver.com Students sailing along at Captain R. Wilson School By Sydney McKibbon, Karan Gandhi, Nadine Haffar and Travis Shan GR. 6, CAPTAIN R. WILSON SCHOOL Being one of the top 30 schools in Canada is a hard accomplishment, and Captain R. Wilson (CRW) School has pulled it off. CRW has been a school for only three years, yet it has so many awards and has achieved a great amount of success. Captain R Wilson is known for its different cultures and the Tribes agreements, but that is not all CRW is about. In the next few months, CRW will be hold- ing many school events. Everyone in Captain R. Wilson is very happy with their teamwork and they are hoping to keep it up for the rest of the year. Guys and Dolls: a dramatic play about an unlikely romance and gambling. Think it's only for adults? Not at CRW. Students and teachers have been working hard to pull together a new Guys and Dolls play for youth audiences. Sarah Kwaipun and Ryan Meeboer, Captain R. Wilson's teachers, have organized the new Guys and Dolls play. "The students are going to work exceptionally hard in order to put on a fantastic show," said Meeboer. Professional actors? Not a chance. In order to put on a show for kids, CRW is going to need kids. Do not worry, because kids have auditioned in order to be actors in the play. One of the "sailors" who succeeded was Victoria Carlstrom, student of class 6-D. "I'm quite excited but very nervous, too," she says about the opportunity to perform in the play. Sound fun to you? Come join us! Sing along with Captain R. Wilson at the Guys and Dolls performance coming soon in May. People come from all different countries around the world, and some countries that we've never heard of. Captain R. Wilson's First Mate (vice-principal) Gurdeep Lall and fellow crew member Mrs. Young, have come up with an exciting event called The World Tour. "I have brought the World Tour to Captain R. Wilson to help build a community." said Mrs. Young. The World Tour was held in the CRW gym packed with families representing a specific country. "We have been working on this for eight weeks and have a group of six staff members helping us," said Mr. Lall. "My expectation toward this event is that the CRW community will come out to be a part of this exciting evening," says Mrs. Young. So far there are 12 countries represented; Russia, Croatia, Ukraine, Egypt, Saudi Arabia, India, Kenya, Bulgaria, UK/England, Mexico, Syria, Italy, Singapore, and of course Canada. This event was held at Captain R. Wilson on Tuesday, March 27. This month Captain R. Wilson Public School is celebrating Literacy Month. The student's a.k.a. the sailor's goal is to read their way across Canada. For every one-hour the sailors read they get 1 km closer to crossing Canada. "We decided that we wanted to have literacy month so we could find a way to encourage reading. We thought what better way to set goals than to use our country's major cities," said Jan Bays, organizer of Literacy Month. The sailors need to read for 7,403 hours to cross Canada. "The point is to encouraging reading and to help kids get that love of reading," she said. "Without literacy, all the written words we encounter every day are mysteries and road blocks to full interrogation into society." This year CRW is full of excitement and opportunity. Additionally, sailors and crew members are constantly making exceptional additions to make Captain R. Wilson a better place for youths and adults alike.
