The SAN Script – Tuesday, September 27

A great story to read when you think of some of the kids you have all worked with who started out rough, but finally made it – we all know some!

This is the story of a young rebel 14 year-old-kid from Aylmer, Quebec who was known for his bright red mohawk, who sang and played guitar in a punk rock band, who lived in a foster home, was expelled from school and who had been written off by society because he wasn’t like everyone else.
That kid, was me.
One day, that young man met a world strong man named Ginaud Dupuis who taught him to believe. He taught him that the body was our temple and that infinite strength and power could be generated from within. At the soul level. And by harnessing the power of nature, anything was possible.
And so this is that story. My blueprint. My most personal story that very few people are aware of. This is the answer to the question of how I do what I do and why I am the way I am.
This episode is dedicated to all of the kids (and their parents) out there that feel alone in the world. Because they’re ‘different’. Because most of the world doesn’t quite make sense to them. Because no one wants to deal with them. Well, know this: Being ‘different’ is your greatest gift and your most meaningful asset. Trust your heart. Be who you are. Believe in the im-possible.
I proudly present you:
Unclimbed – Episode 3 – Cold Feet
I hope you enjoy it.

At 8,000 metres (26,247 feet), the death zone doesn’t have enough oxygen to survive. Gabriel and Elia begin training for the deadly combination of exertion and high altitude that awaits.

In partnership with Jeep® UNCLIMBED: Reaching the Summit follows the intense training and planning of Gabriel Filippi, one of Canada’s foremost mountaineers; Elia Saikaly, Canadian high-altitude videographer; and Pasang Kaji Sherpa, Nepalese mountain guide and climbing partner, as they prepare to summit two unclimbed peaks.

Terry Fox Day

I just heard back from the principal at Notre Dame and he has confirmed that he will be bringing Sam around 9am.  
We will meet in the gym around 9am and have a little pep rally – celebrate Sam and present him with a little gift from Staff and students. (we will make an announcement to call everyone down when we are ready)
We will then head out….see last update for the rest…
We will be extending the last recess.  people on duty will do their duty and Nora and I will relieve them and stay out for the extended recess. 
Looks like the weather will be good – a little cool in the morning so might want to make sure the students wear their jackets…
