Vernon River Consolidated School
Special Memo – January 26, 2012
Vernon River School is THRILLED to announce that we have been selected as one of four schools who will be one of the stops on the Stanley Cup Relay. This Relay is a component of Scotiabank Hockey Day in Canada. As part of this event, VRCS will host a special assembly during Hockey Day in Canada festivities. On Thursday, February 09th, we will host CBC representatives, NHL alumni, and the Stanley Cup! Among those in attendance will be Bruce Rainnie, Gordie Dwyer, Mark Napier and Wendel Clark (NHL alumni subject to change).
We have much to do before our special assembly, as we have been given an opportunity to show what hockey means to Vernon River. We are asking students, parents, and community members to send pictures of all things hockey – playing hockey, wearing hockey-themed clothing, playing ball hockey, etc. These photos will be used in a slideshow that will be played during our assembly. Photos can be emailed to Mrs. MacDonald at rlmacdonald@edu.pe.ca
Over the next two weeks, students will be taking part in a variety of activities to celebrate Hockey Day in Canada.
