In the end it was Mr. Hennessy's advisory who won the change drive. So what happened with all that money? This is the best part! Hennessy's advisory, as the winners, were tasked with deciding which charity would receive the money raised. I'm delighted to be able to tell you that the money went to pediatric cancer research, and in the most wonderful way. One of our students has been selling cookies this week to raise money for just this cause. It is near to her heart as her younger sister is a cancer survivor. The money raised was given directly to our student to support her dedicated effort to help find a cure for pediatric cancers. Kinda makes you love Pembroke Hill and these fabulous students even more, doesn't it?
As first semester draws to a close, I realize once again just how fortunate I am work in this incredible school. In a small effort to show my gratitude I provided hot cocoa for students and staff this morning in my office. The students were cheerful and relaxed as they added marshmallows to their drinks and headed out to tackle their tests. They are confident and ready to show us just how much they have learned this semester. The students have certainly earned their upcoming two week break. I sincerely hope this time leaves your family with many happy memories! Enjoy your winter break - see you in January!
