Getting to give our money away!

Monday was also exciting not just for Reading on the Roof but because we were able to have a visit from our friend, Luella, and her brother, Robert, the founder of Compassionate Eye Foundation  and from Sharon, Vancouver's coordinator of Room to Read.  We were able to give them our cheques from our fundraising!  Here is the video with Luella and Robert and Doris and Jamee and here is the video of Sharon thanking you.
Tuesday we got to use the delicious strawberries Luella brought to do observations in science, practice our mindfulness, and of course get to eat them!  Sharon brought beautiful roses that we didn't try to eat, not even for the purposes of science.
I think Division One has learned a great deal about raising money for great causes and we thank Sharon and Luella for the great fundraising tips they gave us well.  We also really noticed that Robert used his passion for photography to raise money for a great project.  This week we have been working on habitudes-imagination, curiosity, self-awareness, passion, perseverance, and courage and here are three people who certain demonstrate these qualities.
Tuesday we had a visit from, Hector, a former student of Ms. Kezar.  Originally from Venezuela,
Hector moved to Vancouver and went to Moberly, Carleton, and Killarney Schools and now is studying urban design at Cornell University.  He was a techie in Ms. Kezar's class but he was impressed by your artistry and  technological savvy.
