ROAD 2 HOPE (EDUDEO) Fundraiser Run– Wednesday, October 17th, 2018

Once again, we are raising funds for EduDeo Ministries.

The students raise money by having people sponsor them. They were given pledge forms and an

envelope for money. Sponsors can choose to give money up front (before the event) or

afterwards. We have set a goal of $3000.00 for our school. That works out to about $50.00 per

student (K-7). Children are encouraged to ask anyone they know to be their sponsor…. parents,

grandparents, uncles, aunts, neighbours (with adult accompaniment), music teachers, coaches,

teachers, friends, older siblings, and so on.

This year we will once again be doing the run at Surrey Bend Park.

A big thank you to all those who have already volunteered to help out and/or drive the students!

We are still in urgent need of some volunteers who are willing and able to be spotters along the

route. Spotters will encourage students, ensure student safety, and point the way. Please

encourage your parents, in-laws, out-laws, cousins, aunts, uncles, dog walkers, and anyone else

you know who may be able, to help out.

An email with times, map, and further details will be emailed out to all volunteers early next

week. Any questions, please contact Marg (margrosea@gmail.com).

STUDENT VOTE 2018

Coinciding with government elections, students learn about government and the electoral

process, research the parties and platforms, discuss relevant issues and cast ballots for the

official election candidates. The results are shared with the media for broadcast and publication

following the closing of the official polls. Students in grades 4-7 at WofO will be taking part in

student vote 2018 on Friday, October19th.

CROSS COUNTRY MEET

Hard on the heels of the EduDeo run, our grade 4-7 students are participating in a large Christian

schools’ cross-country meet on Thursday, October 25th at Bear Creek Park (88th Avenue and King George

Highway). Students may bring a bag lunch, or there will be a concession with food and drink. We will

leave the school at 9:45am and return around 2:00pm.

We will need drivers and spotters for this event! Permission slips with further details were sent home

with grade 4-7 students today.
