Communitrees

Once again this year,  Holmesville PS is taking thought of those in our community and around the world that are less fortunate than we are.  What will we do for our Christmas project?  What will we do as our international project?  With this in mind, Holmesville is creating a Wish Tree for the Huron County community art project Communitrees (some photos from around the county can be found here).  Our students will be thinking of issues that kids and families face in difficult situations all around the world, like hunger, dirty drinking water, slavery or malaria.  They will be wishing for a solution to these problems, and possibly suggesting some solutions of their own. These wishes will then be put up in a tree in front of our school for the people of the community to read from Thursday September 23rd (in time for our school BBQ and Open House) until Monday September 27th.

Update:
Our school's Communitree was very well received, and Holmesville PS made the national news, as we were featured on the national cbc.ca photo stream, and also the national Culture Days website in their photo stream.  Take a bow, everyone, you're famous!
