Bike and Roll to School Day and Jump Rope for Heart Day
Thanks to everyone who was able to participate in the Bike and Roll to school event. Thanks to all the helpers who dealt with all the bikes – organizing them and handing them out at the end of the day. In total, there were 325 bikes, scooters, skateboards, rollerblades and even a pogo stick used by students!
Thanks to everyone who raised funds for the Heart and Stroke Foundation through our annual Jump Rope for Heart event. Our school has raised $4285 – way to go everyone. The kids are eagerly waiting to see Ms. Weber, Mr. Laser and Mr. Hamby get “pied” in the face as part of this worthy cause. We are hoping to do this on Sports Day.
