American Thanksgiving does not go uncelebrated at OLSWA. This year, eleven Academy students hail from the States, as well as three professors. On the evening of November 24, 2011, in honour of our southern neighbours, the OLSWA community enjoyed turkey dinner with all the fixins’. Earlier that day, students gathered at the local ice rink for a game of hockey.  The festivities did not end there, however. On Saturday, the 26th, the party continued when many of the students spent the afternoon baking pies for the ceilidh (Celtic dance) later that night. OLSWA alumnae Marissa and Jenna Henry called the dance and a large number of people turned out for the jolly occasion to have some fun.
