Hello Gray Families,

It is time for our 2nd connectedness activity! Please remember that all of these activities are optional, but encouraged. We are a great community and even though we are physically distanced from one another, we are not alone. By uniting through these activities, we show that we can still demonstrate togetherness.

Background:

On April 7, schools across Canada will participate in Green Shirt Day. In April 2018, the tragic Humboldt Broncos bus crash affected the entire country. One of the players, Logan Boulet, was able to save six people through organ donation. His gift showed there is always hope, even in the most tragic situations. Students can participate on April 7 by wearing a green shirt or a jersey in support of all those affected by the Broncos accident, and to honour Logan’s legacy of selfless giving.

Green Shirt Day is a great reminder to register as an organ donor or talk about it with your friends and family. Registering as a donor offers hope to the more than 700 people in BC waiting for a life-saving organ transplant.

Activity:

This week is very simple. We would like families to dress in green and take a funny photo of yourselves and then send in your photo to pklassen@deltasd.bc.ca. Once I have the photo, I will post them on the website.

We hope everyone has a lovely week! Please continue to check your emails, as teachers will be sending home lessons and information for your students soon.

All the best,

Mr. P. Klassen
