Yay Nelson!! I have just received word of our grand total for our Terry Fox Run in September. A big thank you to all of our fundraisers this year.
As for our school total…Drumroll please…
$2, 647.50
On March 15th, the last day before Spring Break, we are jumping for our hearts!
We will be practicing our jumping a couple times a week for Jump Rope for Heart 2024! We’ll be skipping for a 40 minute block and participating in many skipping challenges. Everyone’s been working hard on their skipping moves and I’m so excited for all the fun! PLEASE CLICK ON THE HEART PICTURE TO THE LEFT TO DONATE! Nelson has always been incredibly supportive of the Heart and Stroke Foundation and it’s grown in importance after losing our beloved custodian, Mr. Olsen, to a heart attack a few years ago. Ms. Tsakalos has set our fundraising goal at $2, 500. There will be reminders in our planners to wear runners and comfortable, cool clothing for our days of jumping! Don’t forget to bring your water bottle as well! Go Nelson Go!
Online donations will be open until March 24th.

Inspired by a similar project from a US school library, the original Periodic Table of Canadian Black History was created in 2020 by a Parents for Diversity Board member and displayed in an Ottawa primary school. 
The Periodic Table of Canadian Black History is a tool that educators, students, and families can use to explore and celebrate the stories, voices, and accomplishments of Black Canadians.
