Junior Fun-a-Rama

On February 8th Grades 3-7 participated in their 4th House event of the year, Fun-a-rama. Fun-a-rama is a competition with relays, problem-solving, obstacle courses, and other surprise events. Every girl participated in six events. The Grade 7 House Leaders helped Ms. Dalziel plan, organize, and run this event. The spirit and sportsmanship in the gym provided for an excellent competition. After the final race had taken place Algonquin (blue) captured first place. With this win every House has now won one event this year. The competition for the prestigious House shield is very close going into the final two events. What house will bring home the top prize this year?

Gr.5s Paint Wish Boxes for Children’s Wish

Our Grade 5 students worked with the Children’s Wish Foundation to paint “wish boxes” for sick children.

Yorkie dad Nigel Stewart reached out and shared this opportunity to work with Children’s Wish, and our Grade 5 classes were excited to participate! On Wednesday, February 1, two representatives from Children’s Wish, Lindsay Barnett and Esther Shoop, spoke to the girls about the Foundation. Our girls then painted personalized boxes for the wish recipients.

Children’s Wish is a Canadian service that grants sick children special wishes. When Children’s Wish grants a wish, they put together a special box that they then give to the child. The boxes are individually hand painted for each child.
