Today we had another great day participating in our Circle of Courage clubs. Ask me about what I did in my club today.

1) Public Art Postcards: Thank you for all of your support! Through the sales of our Grade 1 art work we were able to raise almost $300. to donate to Kidsport.  We would like to meet a donation goal of $500.  If you would like to purchase another Grade 1 art card, or if you were unable to be at the celebration of learning and would like to purchase a card, please send in your $5.00 donation to your child's teacher and they will send home a beautiful keepsake of their sustainable community art work from Grade 1. These would make perfect Mother's or Father's Day gifts!! 

Thank you for your continued support....Lets meet our goal!!
