The students on leadership would like to have this month's spirit day on the day of the Terry Fox Run, Wednesday, September 25. They would like the grade 7's to wear blue, the 8's to wear red and the 9's to wear green.  They would also like it if each class would set their own personal goal for amounts to be raised in support of the Terry Fox Run. We are going to set up benchmarks for prizes that they could earn. For example, if your class raises $50, they would receive a candy reward;$100: choice activity for 1/2 hour-1 hour: ex. games day, outdoor sports activity; $200: movie and popcorn. Any leadership students who are available TOMORROW are asked to go to Mme Leslie's room at the bell with their lunch.

Found! 1 silver necklace and 1 white bracelet with a peace sign on it. Please come to the office to claim. This is going to be a great event! We look forward to seeing your level of spirit!
