Ended up being a beautiful day for the first day of the shack week. They dropped their stuff off at the shack first thing this morning, walked their kids to school and then came back to the Big House to do some work. They washed windows inside and out, cleaned the patio (which was disgusting […]

Consistency is sometimes a value that is lost in our society. I think it could be better referred to as “keeping your word”. We make promises very lightly: we say we will get together with an old friend when we may not actually intend to, we say we will show up at an event just […]

Sturgeon Heights School: Surpassed Expectations!

RE: Think Day Presentation
I would like to thank the performers, the writers, the sponsors and the logistical folks for their contribution to the Think Day presentation. Our school had the benefit of the presentation on the afternoon of September 24. The troupe who came to our school was very professional, effective and efficient. The performance surpassed my expectations and clearly is worthy of the support from your sponsors. Sponsors can be proud to have their name associated with this quality of presentation.
Students were impacted with the message and after consulting with students understood the role they could play in assisting those less fortunate. They were also made aware of the outstanding opportunities to become involved in the Hero Holiday program when they complete their education programs.
I look forward to using the wrap around resources in our school to support the global needs to develop a compassionate and supportive community for our own citizens and those in other countries.
Thank you to your organization for the opportunity. Well done.
Sincerely,
Garnet Goertzen, Principal
