January 2022   I was sitting this evening reminiscing  about people who influenced me in my life.  Lorna Griffiths was key in my appreciation and love of music!  I sang in her choir for 3 years at Uplands Elrmentary ...I loved every moment!  To this day, whenever I sing my favorite songs, I recall her wonderful direction and 'proper' ways to sing!  Bless you and thank you for all the students you touched through the years with your kindness and smile!

Dear Griffiths Family
     Here's blast from the past!  I am Sheila Drew, a member of John and Michael's classes at Uplands Elementary back in the 60's.  I was priviledged to have Lorna for both Grade 3 and Grade 4.  Sadly I didn't sing in the choir until Grade 7 as that was when I gained the courage to sing a few notes for her in an audition.  She could have been an artist as well as a musician.  I remember wonderful art projects and a chance to paint sets for productions.  I remember our class put on a play that I wrote.  I didn't think anything of it at the time but wow!  She was quite a lady and just as feisty at school as she was at home, believe me!  I am just down the hill on Aldridge Street now.  Haven't strayed too far and taught school, most recently kindergarten, always with lots of music and singing.
