Crazy Hair Day Tomorrow!

Wear it tall, wear it frizzy, wear it up, wear it down. 

Go crazy! 

Thursday Sept 18 is Crazy Hair Day at Hardisty! 

THANK YOU!

Thank you so much to the wonderful group of Hardisty parents that volunteered to help at Friday's Jon Bauer concert. Events like this can only happen with the dedication of parents and teachers.

A shout out to Miranda L, Lisa S, Paula M, Carrie C, Sabina K, Corrine K, Margo M, Cathy I, Joanne L, Kathleen Z and Sherry P - you kept it all organized!

A special thank you to Celebration Church  for allowing us to host this event in their worship hall. It was the perfect venue for this event, and I know the Logos students loved being able to gather in one place to celebrate the beginning of the new school year.

And finally, thank you to Jon Bauer. Your music is so inspirational to our children. Your songs are sung in our school all year long, and form the soundtrack of the school year. We know how lucky we were to have you here to perform again, and wish you all the best as you head into a very busy touring schedule.

award winning musical guest Jon Bauer. 

Hardisty School, along with the Edmonton Logos Society, is hosting this chapel at Celebration Church. All Edmonton Logos students will be attending this special event. Last year's concert was fantastic, and this one should be even better!

Dogs with Wings

Hardisty School has a four-legged staff member!

Students and parents may have noticed Freedom, the service dog that accompanies our school social worker from time to time. Freedom received his training through Dogs with Wings Assistance Dog Society, an organisation that trains and places service dogs.

The Dogs with Wings website describes their dogs as

 "...everyday heroes that help dreams take flight. They are... Dogs with Wings."

Last year a group of Grade 6 Logos Students did some fund raising to benefit Dogs with Wings. The students raised $229.53 and donated it to the Dogs with Wings organisation. Ms Copeman has asked me to help celebrate this wonderful donation by sharing the letter from their executive director. Well done!
