MYER’S SPIRIT CARRIES ON
 
BRICK BY BRICK    

This year Student Council is also spearheading an initiative called “Brick by Brick.” In 1995 Craig Kielburger established a foundation called Free The Children. Brick by Brick is one of the many organizations within this foundation. This year Brick by Brick is working with an international organization called Hand in Hand. Hand in Hand was founded by Joanna, Klimczak, a Myer student last year and is affiliated with Free the Children. Our efforts will focus on raising $50 000 for Adopting Village Programs in Sierra Leone and India. By Adopting Villages in these impoverished regions, we will help provide clean water, health care, education and alternative income sources. We know we can make a difference, we have the will and as a group we will find a way to reach our goals.

Santa Claus Parade

The Santa Claus Parade will be held on Saturday, November 28th this year and once again Myer will be participating in this event. This is a great opportunity for our students to gain valuable community service hours, all while showing off their Marauder spirit.

Every Myer student is invited to participate. We will have students on a float, walking and giving out candy, Cheerleaders leading the float and shouting out Purple Power and even some students playing Christmas tunes.

All you need to participate is Myer spirit! Wear your purple and whites and be ready for a great day fille with the joy of the season.
