Dear Student and Parent(s),
Welcome to Constable Neil Bruce Middle School and to
the classes of Mrs. Ludbrook, Mr. Banser and Mrs.Weill. We are looking forward to meeting you and
working with you this year.
(Mrs. Ludbrook) I have been teaching grade seven students at
CNBMS for the past year. During the
last 30 years, I have been teaching in the library, computer lab and the
classroom. I am fortunate to be able to
teach classes that reflect my own interests:
English and Social Studies. Away from school, I enjoy reading, writing,
hiking and gardening. Some day I plan
to visit some of the countries about which we study. I have 3 children aged 23, 20 and 18 who remind me constantly
that young people are intelligent and interesting. I look forward to our year together.
(Mr. Banser) I have been
teaching for 7 years. I taught grade 7
Science, P.E. and Drama here at CNBMS last year. Previously, I have taught
grades 4 through 6 at Glenrosa Elementary School. My teaching career began in Surrey, BC and moved to the Okanagan
in 1996. I like to be outdoors and
active and enjoy participating in many team and individual sports. I also enjoy working and playing with
computer technology. I am married and
have a three-year-old daughter and a six month old son who provide a lot of
energy and enjoyment. I appreciate the
energy and excitement involved in working with young people and look forward to
another successful year at the grade 7 level.
(Mrs.
Weill) I have been teaching for the
past 7 years, all at the middle school level. Last year, I taught French and
English at the grade 7 level, and also was a Career Preparation teacher for the
grade 8 and 9 students. Previously, I have taught grades 7-9 at CNB and Dr.
Knox Middle Schools. My teaching career
began in West Vancouver at the middle school level, but I grew up and graduated
in the Okanagan, and in1998, moved back home.
I enjoy the outdoors and like to keep active through running, cross
country skiing, mountain biking, kayaking and hiking. I also enjoy reading, watching Survivor, and eating sushi! I am married and have two dogs named Buddy
and Lola, who do pretty much everything with us. We are also expecting our first child at the end of September,
and look forward to this new experience.
Because of this, I will only be able to get to know you for a short
time, but I hope to provide you with a good start to your middle school years,
and maybe catch up with you when I return the following year. I look forward to meeting all of you in
September!
Enclosed is a list of materials and supplies that
will help you to be prepared for our classes.
Please come to school prepared on the first full day of school
(Wednesday, September 5).
We are all looking forward to an exciting and
challenging year. We expect you to come
to class prepared, to listen, do all of your assignments and, above all, work
hard. If you do these things, you will
be successful. We guarantee it!
Please remember that Tuesday, September 4 is the
first day of school and will only last until 11:30 a.m. During this time you will meet all of your
teachers and have a chance to find your way around the school. School begins at 9:00 a.m. sharp. See you there!
Feel free to contact us at school (769-7343) if you
have any questions or concerns.
Sincerely,
Mrs. Ludbrook Mr. Banser Mrs. Weill
