Donations All Set to Go!

Hartman's very first world-wide fundraiser was a great success! Today, we officially finished sorting and packing school supplies and toys into ziploc bags. The Reach Out team gathered today at first recess to finish packing the school supplies, with over 240 bags full of school supplies for schools in Peru! Special thanks to students that brought in items to support Peru, Mrs. Fantin-Gallo for hosting this event and Mr. Taylor for bringing our donations back to Peru and handing them out in December. Great job and keep up the great work for our next fundraiser!
Remember, it's never too late to join the reach out club! Everyone's welcome! :)

World's Aids Day

A fascinating presentation done by the grade 8's today at the good news assembly! Today, the grade 8's from Mrs. Coulter's, Mr. Hammell's and Mr. Carvalho's class did a presentation about world's aids day. I, my self was pretty nervous at first for this presentation, but as it went a long I got used to it. The presentation was fun but yet painful. As my role of the mom, I had to die in one scene and as I fell to the ground I hit my head pretty hard on the stage. I thought that the grade 8's from our class did a great job in the presentation and the kindergartens found it pretty funny. I think that this was a great experience because it required confidence skills and drama/acting skills. Great job grade 8's!

The Successful Fundraiser For Peru!

Boxes over flowing of school supplies and donations for Peru. That's right, today was the day where the "Reach Out" club gathered together at morning recess to pack and sort out the school supplies that we brought in as a school for Peru. I was more than surprised that the primary/junior classes brought in 2 boxes of over flowing school supplies while the intermediates only brought in half a box. As a school, we were more than happy to donate to the less unfortunate kids in Peru. I think that for our very first fundraiser for worldwide was great! Thanks to all the people that brought in items to support the less unfortunate in Peru. The kids in Peru are more than lucky to receive our donations! Intermediates! We must contribute more to the next fundraiser! Remember, we are the leaders of the school!

As you all know, in the reach out club, we do things that make a difference in our school, community and worldwide. It's never too late to join! So if you want to make a difference, join the reach out club!

Publication Day

Exchanging stories, sipping hot chocolate and writing comments about stories. This afternoon was very interesting. Many people's stories were full of suspense and description. There were exchanges of smiles and laughter as people read each other's stories. Too bad there was a big mess to clean up!

Rock & Roll program

As you all might know, the " I wanna rock" program is coming up very soon. For those of you who don't know what I wanna rock is, it's a program that requires you to get in a group, write lyrics, and write a music piece to go with it. You also have to make a music video. Whichever group's piece and music video is the best, will get podcasted on CBC news, which is really big. I suggest making your group now, and start writing your piece and music, because if you start to do all that when the people from CBC come, you won't have enough time to finish it when it's due. If you can't think of any lyrics, I suggest you search up a poem, and write music that goes along with it. If you can't find a good poem, don't do what me and my group did last year in grade 7, when we had to write a piece in music class as a project. We couldn't think of a song, so we took a song that already exsists, and played in front of Ms Scalisi. As you can image, we didn't get a very good mark, because Ms Scalisi knew the song we played, and we claimed we wrote it. Do not do that for "I wanna rock", because your piece for sure won't get podcasted. Good luck with your piece!

Grossed Out!!

Ewww, The smell , the look, the feel, it's all horrible. Yea that's right today in science class, after a long 2 week we took out out bread from the cupboard. But it was not just bread, it was bread in a plastic bag, with 1 tablespoon of soil and some water EWWWWW. To top it off we put it in the darkest place possible,in the deep, dark cupboard.
Trust me when i say it it smelled horrible!! I even showed it to Mr. Hammell and he didn't like it at all. But you know whats odd,our Science teacher, Ms.Coulter, Thought it was amazingly fascinating, How freaky is that. Whoever is reading this now, Do not try this at home!
