Bert Ambrose Elementary hosted a school community Terry Fox Run event on September 28^th.  We set our fundraising goal at $2000.  The students were given the incentives of  “Duct taping” Mrs. Watchel to the wall if we raised $1500, and giving Mrs. Fraser a “pie in the face” if we raised $2000.  Our school succeeded in meeting both goals, raising a grand total of $2352.  On October 15^th we celebrated meeting our goal.  Mrs. Watchel was taped to the wall with an excited student population looking on.  Two students who have personal connections with cancer, Karsten Mayinger and Brooklyn Long, gave Mrs. Fraser a “pie in the face”.  Thank you to everyone for supporting our Terry Fox event and congratulations on reaching our fundraising goal!  We are already excited about next year’s event!

Just a reminder that there is no school for students tomorrow,  Oct 19.

Thank you to the Fort St. John Fire Department for joining us this morning for Fire Prevention and Burn Prevention Week. Lt. Stobbe, Firefighter Winn, and Firefighter Ockenden talked to the students about this year’s theme which is “Look-Listen-Learn”. Students were reminded of the importance of having a family escape plan – with two routes out of each room and we had a demonstration of “Stop, Drop, and Roll”. Mrs. Eldridge also donned the firefighting gear to help remind us that firefighters are everyday people who are here to help us if there is a fire. Our Grade 3 students spent extra time with our guests from the fire department and had the opportunity to practice fire safety drills.
