Online Art

The Yale University Art Gallery
has an online collection, information about what art is, and further information.

Divine Comedy

For a look into Dante's Divine Comedy, though I don't know many secondary students that will have read this it might be of interest to College students,
go to Danteworlds. This site is by The University of Texas at Austin.

Cougar Sighting

Just a reminder to the students from Fort Rupert or anybody that happens to be visiting Fort Rupert that there was a cougar sighted twice yesterday and one killed last week by the conservation officer. Yesterday the cougar (the one that was not killed) was seen near Fort Rupert General Store (Larry Hunt's Store) and Mable and Pete Knox's house. Use caution when walking or outside. There have also been numerous bears in the village, therefore use your common sense when out and about.

The Fro by Rejean


Once upon a time there was a boy named Rezy. Rezy was 5'5" and he had lots of friends and he had a Fro. Everyone either liked his Fro or hated it. One day he went to school and he was in Science. He was working with some chemicals when he spilled some in his hair. Within two minutes his Fro fell off and started eating everything. It ate his lunch and everything Rezy had. Then soon it started eating people So Rezy called in the army and Rezy's Fro ate the army. So Rezy told the Fro that he loved him ant the Fro went back on his head. They lived happily ever after.
