Haultain Memorial received a very special and timely award on March 16, from the Terry Fox Foundation. Presented at out "Footprints" assembly, students Scott K., Zolin L., and Lyric A. accepted limited edition posters honouring 5, 10, and 15 years of involvement with the Terry Fox campaign. Spokesperson Wendy Pratt presented the posters and offered an endearing personal story of how Haultain's involvement and actions have "mattered" in her own struggles with cancer. The presentation tied in beautifully to our whole-school inquiry of "How do our actions matter?" and "How do our footprints leave an impression?" and also to our virtue in focus, service. The "award" capped off a wonderful assembly, filled with examples and celebrations of how what we do at Haultain, and in our daily lives, can make a difference. Thanks to all who were able to attend with us, and to the Terry Fox Foundation for this great honour.

I thoroughly enjoyed the assembly yesterday. The singing choices were thoughtful and creative. The signing was a lovely addition.
ReplyDeleteThe message was brilliant. It was an excellent display of a caring and charitable student footprint. Ms.Rupert I loved the dramatization. We can always count on you to do something different! Great job everyone.
I enjoyed the assembly as well. What a great thing to teach these kids that they can make a difference. Thanks for doing this.
