Grade 11 Drama students took an awesome trip on February 15th to Toronto Centre for the Performing Arts. Students were treated to a toe-tapping, hip-swaying, dancing in the aisles performance of In The Heights.
The show, which blended latin music, hip hop, salsa and merengue, told the story of a group of Latin immigrants in America as they try to carve out a better life.
Students were impressed and inspired by the talent and message in the show. Some lucky people even got to meet the star actor by the stage door after the show! The show closes this weekend, so get there soon!

Yorkdale students enrolled in the business program were invited to Facebook for a ‘behind-the-scenes’ field trip at their Canadian Head office. Students learned how businesses can use the site to launch promotional campaigns and how advertisers target facebook users by purchasing keywords - CPC, CPM, and CPA were just some of the words of the day.
Valuable lessons learned:
We ‘Like’.

What a great day for Yorkdale and the United Way!
Our Culinary Director, George, and his team, were extra busy this morning preparing the tasty food platters for our fundraiser.
EdVance Program Leader Jonathan Cox, was one of the many volunteer staff helping to serve our students. “Once again, Yorkdale students went above and beyond to support a worthy cause. Our students and staff will proudly donate nearly $1,100.00 to the United Way which is sure to benefit a lot of people during the holiday season’
“A gift in season is a double favor to the needy.”
