A Message from Ms. Elmslie!
Thanks to our amazing community, Glencairn exceeded our $400 goal for the Heart and Stroke Foundation with our Jump Rope for Heart Event that took place today! In addition to the fun we had skipping, participating in tug of war, hula hoop stations, four square, obstacle course, and potato sack races we also learned a lot about heart health and living a healthy lifestyle.
This weekend, the Glencairn Ball-Stars will be playing in a tournament at Wilfrid Laurier University on Saturday-what an amazing opportunity to come together as a team! Of course this event would not be possible without the support of the Glencairn coaches: Madelle Cable, Mr. Burrows and Mr. Pittman. We look forward to reporting the outcome of the tournament next week!
