Just Be Generous

My mom shaved her head because it was a promise to her team mates.  If they raised over 10,000 dollars for the Breast Cancer Run she would shave her head.  They raised 16,000 dollars and everyone is really proud of themselves.  They didn't think that they could do it but they did. 
With my family, I raised 2,000 dollars.  Here is a link to the video of Global News last night where my mom shaved her head. 

I am proud of my mom and every one who was involved with it.

Pumpkin Hollow Extreme

Yesterday, the Grade 1's, 1/2's and 2/3's (us!) went to Pumpkin Hollow.  We took a big, yellow bus outside the city near Lumsden.  When we got there we got off our big, yellow bus and walked across the bridge to the Corn Maze.  We didn't all fit into the corn maze so some of us took a trip around the corn maze on a big, green tractor. 

In the corn maze, we got lost.  We had to find different numbers with trivia to find our way to the exit.  We started as one big group but turned into lots of tiny  groups by the end.  As soon as we saw the exit sign, we were so happy that we could finally get out because we were lost and tired. One group went through the maze 4 times, I think they got the hang of it by the end.  (James had a secret to get through it.)

When we got out of the corn maze there were a few different activities we could do.  There was the jumping pillow, the cow train, the nature hike and the kiddie corral.  We got to go in groups on the jumping pillow, it was a lot of fun.  For some of us it was our favourite.  At the kiddie corral, we found a cat.  It liked all of us.  He let us pet him because he wanted to be loved.  We saw goats, pigs and ponies.  We got to pet some of them.  There was a play structure and some horse swings we got to play on.

At the end of our trip we went to the Country Store and got our pictures taken inside.  We climbed back on to the big, yellow bus in time for us to get back to the school to eat lunch.  A few of us enjoyed a quick snooze on the big, yellow bus. 

Pumpkin Hollow was so awesome!
