Thank You Corner

The Big Leap Committee would like to extend heartfelt applause to the many parents and businesses that have donated items for the online auction and our Wine and Dine event at the Big Leap.  Your contributions help make this fundraiser such a success!

Thanks to Iryna Shkilnyk, mother of Katrusya in 107, for repairing the Children’s House dragon students use for our Chinese New Year parade.  It was looking tired until Irynagave it a great make-over. Now it's quite dashing and ready for more years of fun and service!

The BricktonFamily Movie Night was a fun-filled evening thanks to the help of Cindy Degand,

Betty Boduch, Shashona Chau, Heather Wilcek, Joe Somers and John Joyce in making it run so smoothly.

Thank you to LaureenZureikat, mother of Juliyana in 103, for donating boxes of facial tissue.  At this time of year, we can never have enough!
