WE Day!

Blake attended WE Day last week! He was very excited to go and I was super excited for him :) What is WE Day, you ask?! Well I have never been but have heard many wonderful reports from teachers and friends who have attended!! I think what it comes down to is a day full of inspiration!! Inspiration to be a responsible global citizen, inspiration to volunteer and give back to your community and inspiration to just be a better person! They typically have a few 'famous' speakers and often a surprise performance by a popular artist! Not every grade 6 student at Blake's school gets to attend (there are a limited number of tickets) so Blake had to write a paragraph explaining why he should be chosen to attend WE Day. I did not get to read what he wrote (he wouldn't show it to me!!) but he was chosen! I hope it will be an experience he won't forget, I would imagine being one person amongst 21,000 people, all cheering and singing and being inspired would not be something you'd soon forget :) Rick Hansen, Keshia Chante, Margaret Trudeau, and Shawn Hook were amongst the big names at the event! I'm so glad Blake had this opportunity!! Check out the website: https://www.we.org/
