Action Steps:

  1. Have the Grade 8 Students worked together as a team to lead the students to take a few minutes to write an encouraging note to our Canadian Armed Forces.
  2. Grade 8 Students (with permission) would take a digital photo of each class with their teachers in their own room – together waving at the troops.
  3. These photos would be pasted on one 8 ½ x 11 page of a scrap book along with one sentence of appreciation, from each class, to encourage the troops.
  4. Upon completion of the photo being inserted into the scrap book for the troops along with the class’s statement of appreciation – the book would be taken to each classroom to have the students sign their name to the appropriate page for their class.
  5. On the front of the scrap book – will be a picture of our school along with the words: To Our Troops - From: (school name; and province only)
  6. The scrap book of appreciation would then be sent via Canada Post to the C.A.F. Head Office – where we would request it to be copied and sent to all of our troops that are deployed abroad.
