 HHT Oct.31,2012


- OLCS gr.7/8 student council members attended WE Day in Winnipeg at the MTS centre, Oct. 30/12!

Some hilights from the day were:
- Each person received a necklace with a water droplet and at a certain time they have lit, this symbolized that each person like the water droplet can make a diffrence in the world.
- Every person at WE day recieved a special bag to collect pennies for 1 person for the rest of their lifes to have fresh water to drink. The idea is to have the largest pennie drive ever! WE day will be an international initiative.

- Spencer West described his climb of Mt. Kilamajaro and how he proved doctors wrong; when he was born with a genetic disease and had to have his legs ampatated at age 5. He was not expected to be anything! He now motivates and fundraises to make a diffrence in the world for others.
- Robb Nash singer and song writer told his story of a near fatal car accident where he was declared dead and survived. He has been working with youth who are in prison and discovering their talents and helping them turn their lifes around.
- There were amazing performers i.e ribbon acrobatics, Shawn Desman, Lights, Victoria Duffield, All star weekend, Tyler Shaw.

Hi KK...Just read your blog about WE DAY and am so glad that you and the other students from your school that went to WE DAY thought it was such an awesome and inspiring day!! As I am the FLBSD Division rep for WE DAY I was at WE DAY too and like you, thought it was an awesome and inspiring day! Now that you have been to WE DAY I would love to hear about what ideas you/your school has for local and global actions and I am also wondering if you think that getting together with other students from the division would be a good idea so you can share ideas about ways that you can make a difference, BE the change , and dream of what else is possible for this world?....
Thanks for the blog post...I appreciated your comments :)
