Playground Fundraising

We are continuing to raise funds for our accessible playground project. We have had many successful fundraisers already and we are hoping to have the playground installed during the next school year. We are excited to announce that we are partnering with Red Deer Mcdonald’s Restaurants and part of the funds from Mchappy Day will be going towards our project. In the next month, we will have a few events that will raise funds for our project.

Purchase a shoe! –We will be selling Ronald Mcdonald shoes that students can put their name on and will be displayed around the school. The shoes are $1.00 each and all money donated will go directly to our project.  We are also going to have some school-wide goals that can be reached if we sell enough of the shoes.

School-Wide Goals:

$1000 of shoe sales:  if the students sell 1,000 shoes, the whole school will get an extra 45-minute recess!

$3000 of shoe sales:  if the students sell 3,000 shoes, Mr. Good will sleep on the roof of the school – rain or shine, this will happen on the night of our Spring Fling (May 24th)

Hot Lunch! –  We are having an extra Mcdonald’s hot lunch on April 18th. You can purchase a hamburger/cheeseburger happy meal for only $5. All proceeds go towards the project.

McHappy Day! -On April 23 & 24th from 5 – 7 p.m, a percentage of all sales at the Clearview Mcdonalds will go towards our playground project.

Author Visit

Dear Parents,

Robin Pawlak author of Space Cadets will be doing an Author Visit on Tuesday, May 1st.  Your child will have the opportunity to hear the author read from his book, talk about the process of writing, and, for $12.00, your child can purchase a signed copy of the book if he or she is interested.  As students are purchasing directly from the author,  please bring exact change.  

Back-cover Synopses:   

What if your imagination could take you anywhere? Literally.

Twelve-year-old Simon loves to daydream—a little too much, according to his twin sister Casey, who prefers real-life adventures. She leads the two into their father’s workroom, which is strictly off limits, and they are zapped by their father’s mysterious invention. Afterward, exhausted and dazed, Simon imagines that he is flying a spaceship. Suddenly, he finds that he can no longer control the fantasy, and he and his sister end up stuck in space. For real.

Simon and Casey are taken prisoner by the evil Gamnilians, an alien race bent on galactic domination. In jail they come across an unexpected ally in Geet, a fearful but clever little alien who wants exactly what they want: freedom, and to find a way home. The trio teams up to attempt a daring escape, leading to action-packed adventure filled with danger, friendship and lots of laughs.

About the Author:

Robin Pawlak was a teacher for 31 years in Red Deer. He had boatloads of fun with his students, but three decades is a long time, so he decided to retire to something a little quieter. Nowadays, he spends most of his time in his office, making stuff up and muttering to himself. Some say this is a sure sign that all that time with children drove him mad. This may be true. But if one writes his imaginings down, he can call himself an author, which is a somewhat more respectable title than lunatic.  If you visit robinpawlak.com, you’ll find even more of Robin’s madness on display, including short stories for children (ages 8-108) and some Space Cadets bonus material.
