The First Roden Walk-a-thon, October 17, 2014 “What Inspires YOU?”

All proceeds from this school-wide fundraiser will go towards additional cultural, physical, and academic programming both in and outside our classrooms this year. Such programs will keep students active, learning, and open to new and diverse experiences so they can discover what inspires them!

During the day on Friday, October 17, students will walk 1-5 km within our community. We are asking that each child raise a minimum of $20. Our goal is $5,000, but with your help we know we can raise much more! The more money they raise, the more prizes they have the chance to win!

Parents and guardians are encouraged to volunteer during the event or walk with your child’s class – or both! We need lots of help to make this event a great success. Please sign up in the office or online at URL: http://vols.pt/mNbiER by October 3.

Stay tuned for more details to come!

Mr. Poon has started yet another season of the cross country club which begain on Tuesday September 9 and will end on Thursday October 9th.

All students, parents and staff are welcome to participate in this program from Monday to Thursday from 8:25 to 8:45am, except rainy days. This is an excellent opportunity for participants to develop good habits for leading an active lifestyle and increasing their fitness levels. Participants can walk, jog or run around the school block. Staff are stationed at each of the four corners each day to ensure the safety of all runners and offer encouragement. Each participating student will earn ribbons for every ten laps completed.

All students are eligible to represent their school in the cross country team at the district meet during the second week of October at Ashbridges Bay. It is strongly advised that students train regularly for this meet.

Students can sign up for the team with Mr. Poon or Ms. McVean in late September. Please contact Mr. Poon, if you have questions or would like to assist with the program.
