What are class is doing to help victims of Fort McMurray
I am extremely proud to announce that our class has decided to head an initiative that will be run at our school to raise money to assist victims of the Fort McMurray tragedy. Over the next 2 weeks and on the night of our school fun fair, our class will be selling frozen yogurt and popcorn. All profits will be donated to the Red Cross who are assisting victims of the Fort McMurray wildfires. All money being donated to the Red Cross is being matched by the federal government. As we are in the middle of a news report writing unit with a focus on fairness/equity and how we can create a fair equitable world, I am so thrilled to see the enthusiasm that all students are showing in turning our words and discussions into real, positive action. I sincerely hope that getting out their and truly making a difference opens up your eyes to the many opportunities that exist to make a truly positive change in our world.
There will be more information about our efforts sent out later this week via announcements and the school blog. Please stay tuned.
