Bear Creek Students Have Heart

Ms. Windsor's grade 12 students and the "Free Help" team have heart! The students in my grade 12 Literacy class were so inspired by Ms. Bickley's "My Hero" project, that they held a charity car wash this weekend. We raised $300.00 for kids in Africa, whom we met through the "My Hero" global project. Bear Creek students never cease to amaze me!

If anyone wants to do a collaborative global project with schools in different parts of the world, email Ms. Windsor for help.

WALL OF COURAGE AT BEAR CREEK

Pink was the colour of the day at Bear Creek Secondary. Kaitlynn Foien's anti-bullying campaign starts with an incredible turn out. There were about 400 students who showed up for the photo, but there were many more students who were supporting the cause. Students wore pink to show their support for the anti-bullying campaign. It was a success as students took a stand against bullying by wearing pink shirts or pink hearts (see previous blog for the full story).
