Terry Fox
This week, we raised money for Terry Fox, primarily through the purchase of water balloons to throw at teachers! The grand total will be calculated today! On Thursday, we “ran the gauntlet”...through cascading showers of student launched balloons. I’m not sure who laughed harder! The students or the teachers! Check out our instagram page to see some action shots! @sirjohnfranklinfirebirds
School Swag
We are excited to share that our brand new SJF COMMUNITY T-shirts are available on our on-line store! The 6 Phoenix’s were drawn by a former SJF Firebird, Avery Knoll! And we are so happy to see them featured on our Community Shirts!! Starting in October, we are going to have “Firebird Fridays”, where everyone will be encouraged to wear their community colours! Some community points might even be thrown in for some motivation!
