A Graduation to Remember
After several weeks of hard work, graduation has come and gone. Luckily, everything went off without a hitch and we've been told by some of the older teachers that it was the best graduation ceremony they've ever seen in Inukjuak! Of course, I can't take any of the credit. It was really Colleen, Sylvain (French secondary 4/5 teacher) and their students who did all the work.
So what does the best graduation ceremony look like, you ask? Well, we have several pictures below to answer that question. The best part is, these pictures won't induce years of traumatic nightmares like the seal pictures a few weeks back.
A perfect way to end the day, with the crowning of the queen. Of course it took until 4am until everything was cleaned up and we were in bed.
As you can see, everyone did a fantastic job of putting this together. Of course now that exams, grad and prom are all done and over, there's only one thing left to do.
We're coming home :)

This is the dynamic duo that put it all together. The masterminds if you will. Colleen and Sylvain.
These are the masterminds with their slaves... I mean grads. Or it's a picture of the next cast for the musical Rent. I'm not sure which.
Putting the minions to work.
What-do-ya-know. Hard work pays off!
The technical wizards running the razzle-dazzle a.k.a sound and video. Khan and Markus.
After getting a computer science degree at Waterloo I can proudly say that I can make a slide show and run a projector. (Disclaimer: Markus did not actually create the slide show... Sylvain did)
Every single person in Inukjuak shows up to watch the procession. Good thing it's too cold for fires to spread.
It's good to know that the "West Side" was proudly represented at grad.
This picture is included for the benefit of my family. Tell me who that guy in the red shirt looks like... (Click on it to get a larger version)
Believe it or not, this cake took 6 people 5 hours and 12 glasses of wine to decorate.
Posing at prom.
Eva, our DJ, about to do what she does best...
Rock the house!

Markus, it`s your Dad when he was young.
Take care, Christine.
Hey Colleen and Markus,
I hope you came home safely. And did already enjoy the colour GREEN! :)
How was your flight?
What are you doing now until your wedding?
Do you continue writing this blog?
It would be nice.
Hope to hear from you soon.
Miss you,
Tina
Congrats on a successful graduation, Markus and Colleen!
So are you home? Have your heads exploded from seeing so much civilization? Careful, don't strain your necks when you look up at five story buildings.
Hey Guys,
We are so happy to be home. We are still trying to get used to the green Tina! We are also trying to get used to the heat. Poor Hudson is always looking for shade. However, other than the heat he seems to thinks being on the farm is a pretty sweet deal since he can be outside so much more.
I have to keep reminding myself that I don't need to eat all the foods I missed in one week... mmm Wendy's french fries, Pizza hut, cold beer from tap...
Tootles!
Hi Colleen and Markus, it's pretty suprise to see this.:D
I just want to say, the day of June 8 2007 was the day i will never forget. It was fun and funny,:D.
And i wanna tell you a bit from this year. In May 2008 i've graduated in Secondary 6 and i'm going to college in Aug.:D
Anyways, just trying to say that.
Keep in touch. And have a great day.
