WE Create Change

This week we kick off our Falcon Leadership Program with our We Create Change Walk.  This walk will support two charities that are very important to us.  We will be collecting loose change for Free the Children's Water Campaign as well as the Terry Fox Foundation.  I have included a few videos so that you can see how important each of these organizations are to the lives of others.

Keeping It Real...

Apple Sales

Forms went home for apple sales.  They will be sold for $6.00 a bag and money will go directly toward your child's Muskoka Trip.

Sumdog's National Math Contest

The website Sumdog is currently hosting a National Math Competition that will run from Sept 6 - 12th.  After one day, we are currently sitting in 1st Place.  Check out the current leader boards.  I am so proud of all of you!

One Second Every Day

In an effort to really remember all of the moments in our Grade 8 year, we are creating a one second every day video.  If you have a few minutes, take a look at this Ted Talk featuring Cesar Kuriyama.  You will likely be as inspired as we were.   I can't wait to see the moments that September has in store for us.

Pictures for Graduation Video

We are starting a project where everyone is creating a timeline of their life. Each event needs to have a photo or clipart to go with it.  While everyone is looking at photos, we are also collecting our pictures for graduation. Everyone should bring in 3  pictures.  One from when they were a baby, one as a toddler and one from the junior years (grade 4 - 6).   All the pictures are going to be scanned.  If you have a scanner and can send a scanned copy, that would be fantastic!  Simply scan your pictures and email them to Mrs. Clement or bring them in on a jump drive.  We are hoping to have all pictures collected by the end of September.   Thanks!

Welcome Back!

It is so great having all of you back in my class again this year!  A special welcome to Amanda, Colbie, Sam and Jackson as well!   This is definitely going to be an exciting year!
