A Yummy Start to the School Year!
October 2012, Volume 1, Issue 1 Student news straight from the source A Yummy Start to the School Year! Run, JAM Students, Run! Alyssa, Jessy and Maxim Students husk corn for the annual Corn Roast. Ready, set, go! The cross-country runners from John Adam went to a competition at Mont Saint Bruno Park. They had to run 1.6 km. It was two turns around two lakes to arrive at the finish line. Some were speeding and some were running not too fast to be able to keep their energy to finish the race. Kayla and Vincent What’s yellow, buttery, salty and yummy to eat? Corn! John Adam students had the chance to eat this corn at school on September 7th at lunchtime. This is an annual event to welcome us back to school. The firemen made the best corn we ever ate. We ate the corn in the gym. It was a great way to start our school year! Inside This Issue Corn Roast Cross Country Terry Fox Run Bake Sale p. 1 p. 1 p. 2 p. 2 Shoes…check! All set for the Cross Country Run! The race was pretty tough for the runners; some had to walk to gain back their energy. Our 2 best finishes were a Grade 4 student who finished 3rd and a Grade 5 student who finished in 6th place. THANKS to Ms. Danielle for organizing the whole race for the cross-country runners!!! October 2012, Volume 1, Issue 1 P. 2 Walk, Jog, Run for Terry Fox Students, staff and parent volunteers from John Adam proudly participate in the annual Terry Fox Run. Alexia, Julian and Olivier John Adam participated in the annual Terry Fox Run on September 27, 2012 at Boardman Park. It was organized by Ms. Danielle. All John Adam students, staff, teachers and parent volunteers ran. After the run we had cheese and apples donated by Loblaws. Our goal was to raise $3986.75 and if we made it, the teachers and staff members would have to wear colour code and all John Adam students would have a dress-down day. We made $5917.04! On Friday, October 5, 2012 we had our dress-down day. JAM Jabber! The students in Ms. Rebekah’s class were asked if they liked the Terry Fox Run. They responded “Yes!” After the race, they said their legs were hurting. Thirteen of the students said they didn’t find it too long, but seven said that it was a bit too long. Dans la classe de Mme. Isabelle, quatre élèves trouvaient que la course était trop longue. La majorité de la classe était sure que nous allions avoir assez d’argent. La classe au complet était fière de leurs grands efforts. La classe de Mme. Colombo a été interviewé avant la Course Terry Fox. Seulement un élève a cru que nous allions réussir notre défi. Les élèves de Mme. Francine ont été demandés s’ils avaient marché ou couru et ils ont dit les deux. Tous les élèves voulaient la refaire, mais ils ont dit qu’ils avaient vraiment mal aux jambes. Ms. Danielle had a lot to do! First, she needed to hang up posters, send reminder sponsor sheets, get a sound system and count all of the money. She was extremely proud of us! We passed our goal by $1931.29. That’s awesome! Yummy, Yum, Yum, Little Treats to Eat!!! Alyssa, Jessy and Jordin The students from both Grade 5/6 French Immersion classes made some yummy treats for the bake sale. It was held in the classes of Mme. Columbo and Mme. Caroline on the 20th of September. The students raised $600 in total. The money is for their field trip to a camp in February. Editor-in-Chief: Kim Jarvo Creative Director: Courtney Jarvo
