We found another one! “Free The Children’s We Create Change” campaign, made possible by RBC, is one of Canada’s largest penny drives. The “end of the penny” isn’t really over. Students were asked to bring their unwanted pennies. For every penny, it is like a drop of clean water to a community who does without. We had just four days to collect and count them. Buckets full of coins were dropped off at the RBC bank on Friday. The total amount was almost $85.00 and will go to the water initiative! Congratulations to Karolina Krawczyk, in Grade 1 for estimating the number of coins, to the closest number, in her classroom! Thank you to the Grade 2/3/4 class for counting all of the pennies. The children made connections as they read and learned about a special quote in their daily planners: “You can’t live a perfect day without doing something for someone who will never be able to repay you.” This project left us with a powerful life-long message! Don’t you agree? The Staff of St. Edmunds Public School Ron D. Williams, Law Enforcement Supervisor at Bruce Peninsula National Park, received a 2012 Queen’s Diamond Jubilee Medal on February 8th, 2013. Ron was nominated for his commitment to public service, dedication to his profession, and for his leadership role within Parks Canada. The award was presented by Park Superintendent Frank Burrows (left) and Field Unit Superintendent Kim St. Claire (right). Congratulations Ron!
