WE Walk For Water

WE Walk For Water

Hello everyone! ME to WE is hosting the fundraiser; We Walk For Water on May 10th. This campaign is about raising money for those communities without fresh and clean water sources.  Some people have to walk miles to be able to get to a water source and some of these sources are contaminated. This causes many young children, majority of them being young girls, to be unable to attend school and get a proper education. We are asking everyone at CJP to bring a loonie or a toonie for donations for the We Walk for Water campaign. Just $25 will allow one individual to be able to access clean water for life. Everyone deserves access to clean water, but not everyone can afford it.  

 
 

The Water Walk will take place on Friday May 10^th on the outside field rain or shine.  Instead of using actual jugs of water or pebbles, students will bring their backpacks outside.  Students will hold their backpack over their head and walk around the field to complete laps. This symbolizes the long walk to water that many young children face in other countries.   

 
 

Some facts to inspire you to participate in the We Walk for Water fundraiser: 

·       42% of health care facilities including hospitals and local clinics in Africa do not have access to a clean and non-contaminated water sources. 

·       Nearly 900 children die per day due to diseases caused by contaminated water. 

·       By 2050, 1 in 4 people will live where there is no fresh water 

Hats On! For Mental Health

Please join us on May 1 in wearing hats to raise awareness at CJP!

Thanks for your support!

Dear families,

It was so wonderful to see all the families that came out to share in the learning from our most recent artist residency. CJP students have been working hard at learning the style of hip-hop and the choreography and we hope you enjoyed our performances. Thank you to the parent association as well as our lovely choreographer/instructor, Zam.

And thanks to all of you who continue to support our learning everyday!

Music Monday

 

Dear families, 

Please join us on Monday, May 6^th at 10:00am to celebrate Music Monday!

For those who may not know, Music Monday was created by the Coalition for Music Education as a way to raise awareness for the importance of music education. Together, schools and other musical organizations across Canada sing the Music Monday anthem on the first Monday each May. This year, the Music Monday anthem is Hymn to Freedom by Oscar Peterson. Students have learned about the history of this song, its meaning and the people it impacted. Please ask your child for more information! 

 At CJP, it is tradition to have an outdoor concert on Music Monday. This year, our concert will be on Monday, May 6^th at 10:00am on the CJP field. Families and community members are encouraged to bring a lawn chair or blankets to watch comfortably from the field. If you have any questions, please contact Miss Nair at canair@cbe.ab.ca.  

Have a wonderful Wednesday.
