Operation Christmas Child
Grade Five Students will be participating in Operation Christmas Child in November. This is an initiative by a non-denominational Christian organization, [|Samaritan's Purse], whereby Christmas shoe boxes, packed with presents, are sent to children in the world who may not receive a gift at Christmas. This year, grade five students will be packing shoe boxes. Please start collecting items to contribute to this worthwhile project. To view the journey of a shoe box, look at the video below!media type="youtube" key="FlC_sHK4mjs" height="315" width="560"

Country Meadows
Grade five students will have a great opportunity to connect with the elderly in our community through our 'Adopt a Grandparent' program. Once every two to three weeks, the students will take the bus to go to Country Meadows, Once there, they have about one hour to visit a resident and interact with them. Some activities we have done in the past are bingo, art, games, interviewing a grandparent and singing. The grade fives from years past have really enjoyed the experience as have the 'grandparents'.

Kids Helping Kids
On Hallowe'en grade five and six students will have fun trick or treating as well as help to raise money for a good cause. In special plastic containers, students ask for loose change and donations for the Kids Helping Kids program. Money raised is used to help students participate in special events and to help purchase necessities for kids in our community who are in need. Thank you to all those who helped collect last year in 2011. In total, over $1200.00 was raised!
