Important Dates for December

Posted: December 1, 2020

As part of our Leadership class this term, Mrs. Blakely-Doucette's Grade 8 class is doing a fundraiser for the Miramichi Food Bank as well as the Giving Tree, put on by 95.9 The River.  These events will be held on the following dates during the month of December:
December 3rd- Jersey Day
December 11th - Hat Day 
December 14th - Twin Day, 
December 16th - Crazy Sock Day 
December 18th - PJ Day
 
The students were looking for a way to help families and seniors around the river during the Christmas season and shine a little bit of light on this otherwise gloomy 2020.  They also wanted to find a way to encourage school spirit in a year that has been very difficult to do so with the many restrictions and guidelines that have been put in place.
To date, the class has raised $250.00 with our first PJ Day held last week.  They have decided that the initial monies raised along with Thursday's donations will be donated to the Giving Tree and the money raised after that will be given to the Miramichi Food Bank.  Students are encouraged but are not obligated to make a donation of $1.00 on each of the days.  If they would like to give a larger donation, that is fine too!
