Thank you to all the students and families who made it to Fish Creek Park yesterday! The art looked amazing, and it was wonderful to see so many people enjoying the park. Plus we raised $150 for ALS!
Today we continued our animal research. Students are using a variety of print and online resources to not only find basic information, but to help them think deeper. For example, when looking at an animal's appearance we ask what unique characteristics are there? Why did they adapt like that? How do those adaptations help the animal survive? Ask your student!
We discussed ALS (amyotrophic lateral sclerosis) and what it means. We talked about how even though your mind is still working, people with ALS slowly lose control of their muscles, and once control is lost it never returns. We talked about what that means, and how we can support those with ALS. Like our walk!
A very important message!
Evergreen for ALS
Our Kick-Off Walk for ALS will be this Thursday, June 1st @ 1:00pm. Our entire school community will be out in full force to raise awareness for ALS and to support our teacher and friend, Mrs. Y. All proceeds from our walk will stay in Alberta to make each day the best possible day for people living with and affected by ALS. Please use the link below if you would like to make an online donation. Cash donations are always welcome! Please remember to wear a PURPLE shirt (green or white if you don't have purple)

Have a wonderful evening!
