On April 25, 2013, we are holding a Silent Art Auction, in conjunction with the Talent Show as a fund raiser for the building of the well in Sierra Leone. Teachers have asked students to donate works of art to this wonderful cause. The art will be displayed in the front hall Wednesday and Thursday , April 24 and 25. The bidding will close at 3:00 pm on Thursday, April 25. The Talent Show is scheduled for 12:30 pm on April 25. We will be taking donations at the door for the same cause.

A special thank you to all those young artists who have donated work to the auction and to those students who are performing in the talent show. To parents, Diane Dodd, Heather Scholefield, Erin Dueck,and Claudette Martin many, many thanks for framing the art for the auction. They did an amazing job! Please join us this week in celebrating our talented student body and supporting our international service project, the well in Sierra Leone.

Shoe Drive for Nicaragua

From April 2 ~ 26th Juniper Ridge Elementary is taking part in the Shoe Drive for Nicaragua. Each class will be collecting used shoes that will be given to the Kamloops Fire Fighters to send over to Nicaragua. The fire fighters will then go over and give the shoes to the children and families who live and work in the dump in the village of Jiquillilo, Nicaragua. The children are not allowed to attend school unless they are wearing shoes, so the more shoes we send over the more children that can attend school. The shoes can be any size, any style. Steel toed boots, high heels, runners, soccer cleats, rain boots, slip-ons, sandals are all welcome.

PLEASE TIE SHOES TOGETHER!
We will also take used eyeglasses.
The class that brings the most shoes in will win a prize each week (one for primary and one for intermediate). The class that brings the most in for the month will receive hot baked cookies by Mrs. Swift. So send those used shoes/boots/cleats in. Any questions please see Mrs. Swift. Thank you!
