Terry Fox Walk

Well, this past week, a few classes were doing fundraising for the Terry Fox Foundation. It was organized a bit at the last minute, so I couldn't do anything with my class, but then this afternoon the whole school went for a 4 km. walk around town to finish the week.

Last year, we had a great time, LOTS of people, but unfortunately this year some of the secondary students skipped the afternoon since they knew what we were doing and felt too lazy! OH , teenagers sometimes!!! I took a few pictures as we walked... one was taken over my head an is regrettably very out-of-focus, but the other one I think is so cute, since Lane was wearing a shirt that fit our LONG walk!!! See the pic on the right!!

Hmmm, and now is the weekend. NOt many plans, I decided to host a raclette party tomorrow for Anne, Yayi, Mark, Nancy, April, Trevor, Melanie, and possibly Marie and Chris if their daughter is doing well. Megan has down syndrome and is maybe two years old. She tends to get hit hard when sickness is floating around. I have been craving Raclette but since I don't own one I have to invite the others.... JOKING! I like having people over... I never did it much in previous years since I would ALWAYS have dishes and laundry around, but now I realize that if I invite people for supper then it gives me an extra push to get the dishes done and the clothes folded at LEAST once a week... haha!! Wondering what the heck a raclette is???? Check it out below...

haha, yeah, you kind of get used to "kakkik" (Inuktitut word for snot) up here... I hardly notice anymore, until they try to give big hugs!

So, everyone will bring a bowl of uncooked meat, some raw veggies and then I will make some potatoes, someone else is bringing baguette... And then we sit around and you cook evenything on the top grill... you can also use the little pans to melt cheese on bread or your food underneath the grill... It can kind of broil it from below since the elements are directly under the top grill...

I don't know how to explain, but it is yummy!! You can get different tastes every few minutes by cooking a different thing..

Lots of fun...

April teaches grade 3, the first year students study in English language. (WHAT a challenge!!) But she is totally in love with pigs and is in the midst of preparing a unit on the three little pigs!

Come on Nan, you know me, I would never even allude to something which you should be shy to ask about... LOL! (I was wondering if anyone pick up on the word choice! hehehehe)

Sometimes it just puts anonymous even if you enter your log in name? I think it must be a gliche, like when it was saying "for the birds" for Connie...??
