Terry Fox and Pillars of Care

Tomorrow we will have our annual Terry Fox Run and our monthly Pillars of Care assembly. The assembly will begin at 8:15am and go for about 45 minutes. We will start our run after the assembly. If your child is receiving a ribbon you would have been notified earlier this week with a note home.

We have talked a lot about Terry Fox this week. He had bone cancer and had to have his leg amputated. If you want to learn more about Terry and his Marathon of Hope go to to http://www.terryfox.org/ or donate to the cause please go https://secure.terryfox.ca/registrant/TeamFundraisingPage.aspx?TeamID=740752#&panel1-1

We were able to have Free Math Centre time and 10 minutes of Free time today. The students are learning to really follow directions and to be mindful of others learning time.

We made a letter N for a special project. We are mailing 25 of our letter N's to 25 other classrooms across Canada. In turn they are going to mail us their letter. We already have the letter I. We do need a little bit of help with the mailing of our letters. If you want to help and could send in a regular Canadian stamp that we could use that would be so helpful. Or you can send in $1 for the mailing. If you aren't able to help out at this time that's ok. We may ask students to put the letters in mailboxes for us. We may even have a mailman come into our classroom to get them. We are trying to decide what to do!

We hope to see you tomorrow for our run. Have a lovely evening!
