On Friday Blake and Emerson's school had a hula-hoop-a-thon with all funds raised going towards the Boys and Girls Club of Edmonton. When the memo first came home, I thought this sounded silly and I wondered why they didn't just do a good 'ol Jump Rope for Heart fundraiser for the Heart and Stroke Foundation! I was wrong. This event was AWESOME!! The teachers and youth leader's did an amazing job, planning a super fun and well-organized afternoon of hula'ing!!! Each grade had to hula to a certain number of songs (preschool - grade 1, 1 song; grade 2, 2 songs, etc.). The crowd got involved doing the wave, starting a congo line and a whistle blew after ever $100 raised, while a YL ran around with a sign depicting the amount raised! It was so much fun, I'm glad we went to watch and ... participate ... yes, I was called up to hula!! lol! Turns out hula-hooping with an adult hoop is much easier than hula'ing with a dollar store hula hoop!!! Now best of all, our school raised nearly $8,000 for the Boys and Girls Club of Edmonton!!! Way to go, Ecole Bishop Savaryn School!!
