Hello Southlands Families!

We had a fun week last week with Star Wars Day on Tuesday and Jeans Up on Friday. The last time we checked we were very close to our goal of raising $500.00 for the BC Children's Hospital Foundation, and so Ms. Waugh set a new goal of $800.00. It is a charity close to my heart as both of my children spent time there and recovered from serious illnesses thanks to the good care of the doctors and nurses. Thank you so much for your generosity.

2) If the picture is not digital, please scan the photo in the highest resolution available
3) If you do not have a scanner, you can take a digital picture of the photograph
4) Email the digital picture to winnpark@yahoo.com (Winnie Park, Aiden's mom, Div 2)
