September 18, 2008

(Review) Word of the Day: intrepid

Thanks to everyone who sent money to contribute to our scarecrow clothing/accessories purchases today. We made some interesting choices...the scarecrows will be constructed tomorrow and should be ready for viewing then. We'd like to extend a big thank you to the United Church who generously donated the money we gave them to our school's foster child program.

Your child is bringing home a Terry Fox pledge sheet today. Next Friday morning, right after recess, students and staff from our school will participate in a Terry Fox Run. (Our class will run around the block - a 1 km distance.) Your child is invited (but not required) to collect pledges for the run. Please return the pledge sheet to the school by next Friday (September 26) whether your child collects money or not. Thanks in advance for your support of this initiative to raise money for cancer research - and for helping honour a great Canadian hero. I've included below some Terry Fox videos. Just click on the play arrows to watch them.
