Fish Fry Fundraiser

Many thanks to all who supported our fundraising Fish Fry this evening (Fri 30th Jan 2009). Students, parents and staff worked together to make this event a resounding success! Particular thanks to Ms Wendy Quinland and Mr Nick Rivers who manned the fryers...they were fantastic!! Once we have had a chance to balance income against expenses we will let you know how much this event raised! We are trying to ensure that our students in Year 6 raise enough to confirm their trip to a herpetology camp in St Petersburg, Florida in April. We are aiming to raise in excess of $12,500...this event has taken us ever closer to our target. The effort continues...!

Dress Down in Pink for the Cancer Society

Today we dressed down - in pink - and took part in a Stride for Cancer walk. The Cayman Island Cancer Society have the support of schools, businesses and the community, island-wide, for their annual fund-raising effort. We all paid to take part and raised $90 for the cause. We began the morning with an assembly at which we talked about what cancer is and how scientists and doctors around the world depend on the support of charities, like this one, to fund their research. At North Side this month we have been considering the IB attitude "curiosity" and today we were able to see how the curiosity of these people, the questions they ask and the experiments they try may soon lead them to find a cure for this disease.
