Thanks to all of you for sending in such delicious food! And thanks to those of you who were able to squeeze a visit/lunch into your busy day! It was great, absolutely yummy! And it looked as though lots of you had a chance to sit and chat with each other! And I really want to thank those of you who helped set up and clean up afterwards - it was a big job and greatly appreciated.
Thanks so much, Liz Lebel.

Curling at Glean Meadows

Last Sunday some of the kids had fun on the ice and it looks like we survived without any mishaps!

A few amusing points from Dave (Michael's father, aka Instructor):

1. This is the first time that I've heard 44lb granite curling rocks referred to as "big hockey pucks".

2. In curling, we use teflon "sliders" under one foot when delivering ("shooting") rocks down the ice. I've never known sliders to be used anywhere other than under your sliding foot ... however, the boys learned very quickly that if they sat on them, they could go sliding down the ice on their bums with ease.

3. I've never known anyone to try "riding" a spinning curling rock down a sheet of ice ... until yesterday (where I actually observed this first-hand).

Anyway, I just thought I would let the parents know that all the kids were very well behaved (even with the innovative on-ice techniques that were discovered yesterday) and it was a pleasure to teach them a bit about the sport of curling.

OLYMPIAN CURLING KIDS:

Dallas, Julian & Kaelan, Michael, Misha & Martin, Nicolas, Tyler & Josh.

TD Great Canadian Shoreline cleanup

Keep Canada’s shorelines clean

all year long!

THANK YOU CANADA! Together we removed litter from over 1,200 shorelines in 2007. Your actions helped to protect animals, birds and plants that rely on these shorelines

On Monday, September 17 Mr.Jungen's gr.4-5 Fr.Im. class participated at the TD Great Canadian Shoreline Cleanup. They walked along the Patricia Bay shoreline and collected a lot of garbage.

SEE THE SLIDESHOW HERE.

Removing litter from sensitive aquatic habitats helps to restore the environment and creates healthier spaces for animals and plants to thrive. By changing attitudes about litter, these habitats will be protected and preserved from future litter-related damage.

Here are 10 easy steps for taking action today to keep your local shoreline clean and healthy.

A Day at the Royal BC Museum and Beacon Hill Park

This is a last week of school before the summer holidays.

They visited TITANIC room, Treasures of the Tsimshian exhibit, Century Hall, Part Moody, fort Victoria and Explorers exhibitions at the Royal BC Museum. Than they walked to Beacon Hill Park for a lunch. The weather was great and we had a good time.

Here is a slide show.
