food drive continuesThe Grades 7/8 classrooms had a visit from Rosalie Fulford this week. We invited her to come speak to us about the history of the Red River Valley Food Bank, as well as the current issues that this important institution is facing. During the lockdowns they were not able to hold their regular town-wide food drives. Increasing food prices have meant that more people need to use the food bank. It also means the costs for the food bank to provide food for its clients have gone way up. Combined with the reduction in food donations, this amounts to a "perfect storm" for our food bank. After reading an article in the Southeast Journal by Sean Conway, our 7/8s decided to do something to help the food bank! The 7/8s will be collecting food items and toiletries in their classrooms for the month of March. We will be delivering our donations at the end of the month. Find a 7/8 student and give them a food donation! Important items: pasta, pasta sauce, cereal, canned vegetables and fruits, canned meat, macaroni and cheese, peanut butter, preserves, and toiletry items. need childcare this friday?The link to register is [HERE].

As a wrap up the students were tasked with building their own trading posts. They had to find the best suited spot in Canada for their post to be located, keeping in mind an easy route for transporting furs, a place that had lots of vegetation and animals for furs and place it on a map. Once the map was done the creating began! Students had to include living quarters, spaces for animals and crops as well as adding access to clean water and transportation. The students also had to include a writing piece explaining the name of their fort, why it is in a good location along with explaining everything that was in their forts. Comments are closed.
