Socktober with the SPIN Club!

Mrs. Tresoor and I held our first SPIN Club (Support People In Need) meeting of the year yesterday. The club is for interested Grade 5 students that want to help others. I was so pleased to see 27 students attend the meeting! Wowza!

We participate in campaigns throughout the year with "Free the Children"; a Canadian organization. Last year we organized "Socktober" within the school. Socktober is an initiative started by Kid President. The staff and families of BHS donated 373 pairs of new socks to Nova House; a women's shelter in Selkirk, MB.

This year, the SPIN Club will once again be collecting pairs of NEW socks to be donated. Please send them in during the first 2 weeks of October.

Thanks for your support!

Here's Kid President's latest video about Socktober (which was launched today):
