Danielle Helps Bring Home Silver for the Richmond Ravens

Danielle, Gr. 8, at the BC Provincial Championship

Danielle, Gr. 8, has been playing hockey since she was 5 years old. Prior to this season she played boys rep hockey at the Burnaby Winter Club, and later at the Arbutus Club. Last season she was the assistant captain of the (boys) Peewee Rep team, which won the BC Provincial Tier 4 silver medal.

This season she moved to the girl’s league, and played for the Richmond Ravens Bantam Tier 1 team. The Ravens had a very successful season, and won the opportunity to compete in the BC Provincial Championship series March 19-23 in Kelowna. After beating teams from around the Province, the Ravens won the silver medal.

Congratulations Danielle & team!

Paper Cranes for Japan

6Y made 1000 paper cranes to bring good luck to the students in Osaka, Japan:

Dear students of Osaka,

Our class feels greatly for all the tragedies that are happening in Japan. We felt that we needed to help in any way we could, so we decided to fold a thousand paper cranes for your country.

We understand that the thousand cranes have great meaning to the Japanese culture. They bring hope, good luck, and will grant wishes, which is what you need right now.

All the cranes have been hand-folded with great care by our class of 22 students. We have worked hard for two whole days, but our work is nothing compared to what Japan is experiencing right now.

We are very thankful that these cranes have made it to you, by our kind teacher Ms. Brayley. We hope these cranes bring all the luck you need.

Best wishes,

Class 6Y
York House School, BC
