Hi to students Mary Jane Norris Elementary School

Yesterday Larry Loyie and myself (Constance Brissenden) braved the snows and drove to Surrey, BC, to talk to the wonderful students at the Mary Jane Norris Elementary School.

We talked to three groups -- gr 4&5 with some gr 3's, then gr 6's, then gr 7's. And I promised the gr 7's that I would mention them in our blog.

Which is neat because we are lazy bloggers. But a promise is a promise. Here is our first blog of 2007.

So hi to the students and staff and First Nations advisor Debra Merrier. Thanks for a fun day... you were our first presentations of the year. That made them extra special. Your questions were good and we enjoyed joking around as well as being serious!
