Federal Election - Who will win in our riding?


Today is the Federal Election. Over the past two weeks, along with Room 7 and 1, we got to meet 3 of the candidates for our area. They were Lawrence Toet (Progressive Conservative) , Andrea Richardson-Lipon (Liberal), and Daniel Blaikie (NDP).  We did not meet the Green Party candidate, Kim Parke but we did visit her website and talked about their platform as well.  We also got to visit the polling station which is in our school gymnasium today.  We are looking forward to seeing our student vote results and the actual results of the election tomorrow! 

We will keep you posted!

From, Room 4 

Update: Just like the actual election, the students of Radisson School elected Daniel Blaikie! Congratulations Mr. Blaikie and best of luck to you! 









Blue Bomber Dance Party!

What an amazing lunch hour! Two Winnipeg Blue Bombers -  #31 Maurice Leggett and #2 Matt Bucknor came to visit us, and they brought along Buzz and Boomer too!  We danced to the music of a fantastic DJ that got the party started! The students had an amazing time and these few pictures can't begin to show it all!

Welcome to a New School Year!!


Hello, Everyone! 

It's great to be back in Room 4 after a great summer! The students have now gotten settled in to many of our routines and we are learning a lot already!! 
This week we are focusing our learning on Terry Fox. We will even be working with Room 7 to sell frozen treats to raise money for the Terry Fox Foundation after our annual run. Just like Terry's goal was to raise one dollar for every Canaduan, our goal will be to raise $1 for every student at our school, in addition to the $2000 goal we have as a school (to collect pledge money.)

Stay tuned for some pictures of us busy at work getting our fundraiser ready! 

Update: Here are some pictures from before and after the run today! We were also part of a fundraiser selling frozen treats to raise even more funds for cancer research. Tomorrow we'll be counting it all up to see how much we can donate!!
