WE day

 
 
Zoey, Myah and Kaydyn, who are part of the UNESCO team, had the honour of attending WE Day at the MTS Center last Friday.  Mrs. Kobelka was invited as well.  The only way you can get a ticket for WE day is if you have earned it through kindness and good deeds. The students who are on the UNESCO team were invited to attend. It was an amazing event that everyone should have an opportunity to go to in their lifetime.  Paula Abdul, Margaret Trudeau, Chris Hatfield and numerous other celebrities were on hand to share their stories of their road to success.  Did you know that Paula Abdul's family did not have money for her to take dance classes, so she cleaned the dance studio  in order to pay for her lessons.  Chris Hatfield was very inspirational as well.  I encouraged the students to sign up for the Social Justice committee at ESS next year, so they have an opportunity to attend WE Day in 2017.
