HERO – We would like to give a great big thank-you to the unknown lady that came into our association on Friday, June 10 telling us we had an emergency at the back of our building.

HERO – A huge thank you to Robin Muzzerall for organizing our class Salmon BBQ fundraiser on May 14. Many thanks to Marine Harvest who generously donated all of the fantastic salmon. To our awesome chef Mike, and to Roger (the man behind the scenes) who kept everything running smoothly; thank you both for volunteering your time to help us out- you did Marine Harvest proud. Thank you to Coastline Mazda for allowing us to use your lot for our fundraiser, we really appreciate it! To all of the kids and parents who helped serve and attract our customers, Merci! Thank you also to Superstore, Zellers, and Shoppers Drug Mart for donating supplies for our BBQ so that we could keep our profits. And finally, to all of you who came out and supported us on a cool spring day, Merci Beaucoup. We now have enough money for our Outdoor Education trip to Strathcona Park Lodge. – Mme.

HERO – A forté note of appreciation to our heroes: John Montgomery, our band teacher, for “orchestrating” the annual grade 9 concert band and grade 8/9 stage band bus trip to Edmonton. The bands would also like to give a huge thank-you to Bruce Morgan, Gaetan Desrochers and Jennifer Kobayashi for chaperoning and to Harvey Robinson, our bus driver, for getting us there and back safely. It must have taken a lot of patience to be in one vehicle with thirty 13-15 year olds for six days. Great job all of you. Garry Ogrodnik, the manager of Superstore, also played a very important role in our band trip. Thank you for donating all the drinks and snacks. We would also like to thank Trish Izon for organizing and delivering all the food and drinks to the school. Thank-you all very much. We couldn’t have gone on this amazing trip without you! – Grade 9 Concert Band and Grade 8/9 Stage Band, École Phoenix Middle School.
HEROES – I want to send a huge thank you to a number of people who helped me and my boys after I fell off my bike on Hilchey Road on Tuesday, June 14. Jim, Bob, Lorie and two ladies who I didn’t get their names that were driving and sightseeing. Thank you for the site seeing. Thank you sooo much. Jim, who arrived shortly after the ambulance was called, with your third level first aid – thank you! The firefighters that were there also, thank you. Bob and Lorie the ambulance attendants, thank you for your care. My boys are awesome boys and they were so good and I am so blessed to have them. No helmet which is not smart. I am lucky! Three stitches in my head and a scrape on my elbow. Thank you Dr. Jordan and the staff at the hospital. Thank you! Helmets are very important no matter how old you are. Campbell River people are awesome. Please reply so that I know that you know how much I appreciate you all. – Super Mom? Not!
