And the new year's resolution is:

Not to forget to update this blog!

Today we did
the Famous Five Challenge. We learned about the Famous Five and the Persons Case, the women who fought to make women Persons in Canadian law so that they could hold office, be part of the Senate, and never again be denied the opportunity for public office just because they were female.

Thanks to the Famous Five: Nellie McClung, Irene Parlby, Emily Murphy, Henrietta Edwards, and Louise McKinney.




Notes for next week:

Sheppard Division Garage Sale: 1st weekend in February. Please start collecting items that you are willing to donate to the Garage Sale, and please tell all your relatives, friends and neighbours about it! We'd love to have lots and lots of people come out!

Sale to be held on Saturday, Feb 6. More details later!

Cookies: it's time to order cookies for the Spring Cookie Campaign. We'd like to have a blitz in addition to additional cookies to sell. We decided to order 70 cartons, which is two per girl, so that we will have enough to blitz. Watch this space for date and time of the blitz!
