Getting the Word Out
Today the MicMacs put their informational and persuasive writing skills to work by creating posters. Some students worked on motivational posters which included inspiring quotes about giving, as well as pictures depicting life in Nicaragua and an encouraging message to get involved with the MicMac Give Back. Others worked on posters to remind the school about the important Read-a-Thon details and to inform them about the upcoming bake sale next week. They all did a great job!
The MicMacs also discussed setting a fund raising goal for themselves. They decided that each person was going to raise $100 for the MicMac Give Back. Between both classes that would be a total of $3,700...wow! If we can raise that much money between 2 classes, imagine if everyone in the school set a goal to raise $100. That would be amazing!

The Presentations
At the faculty meeting last week Stephanie, Max and Alex delivered a fabulous presentation to the staff. They explained what the MicMac Give Back is all about, where it came from, and what they want to do. They even explained how the teachers could get their classes involved. They did a fantastic job!!!
A special thank you to the additional presentation committee members for gathering the facts and putting it all together: Rishta, Claire, Parker, Sammy and Lilia.
On Friday, all of the students prepared short presentations for the MicMac Read-a-Thon. Each group was responsible for preparing a speech, making sure they had all of the correct details for the event, visiting at least two classrooms to deliver the speech and dispersing the pledge forms. We were so proud of all of their hard work...they did a great job!
