Mayor's Food Drive - Dec. 2016
Using the items brought into the school for the Mayor's Food Drive, the students built a Super Hero that won the People's Choice Award.
Here is the student's write up for the project.
Note: This year Chris Akkerman did Canstruction as a school and built it in our Learning Commons. The project was student driven with our Jr. Leaders taking the lead role in supporting our younger students with the project. As food items came in, students tallied, counted, and sorted foods based on the Canada Food Guide (see photos). We kept all of this information as a visual in our Learning Commons.
The part below was written by students from grades 1-4.
“Chris The Cub” (Our school mascot) Superhero
Look! Is it a jet? Is it a plane? Is it a bird? No….it’s….SUPERCUB! This superhero fights for healthy eating and nutritious foods. Supercub is made out of multi-grains, which help him keep up his energy. Every time he drinks a glass of delicious milk he grows 3 feet tall.
After drinking 12 glasses of water each day, Supercub has ultimate focus and strength. He blasts fruits and vegetables from the sky at all the candy villains he sees with his super duper eyesight from eating carrots. When he needs to save the day he shoots apples, strawberries and raspberries because they really pack a punch!
Supercub likes to rest, when he is not fighting candy villains, at the amazing Health Island. His favorite hobby is fishing. He just LOVES his fish, all kinds. Protein powers him up and gives him super speed. Supercub must be aware of the Oooey Goooey Honey Blob as it will try to weaken his powers.
Supercub knows it is very important to pay attention to what he eats everyday! Candy villains beware!!!!
*In the photos you will also see a long “cape” behind our superhero, and a “jet pack” on his back.
