the students who wrote the letters
got to go on to the contest.
A discovery box arrived to
Brussels grade three students on
June 3. When the box was opened
the students were surprised that lhe
box was from Calgary and not
North York in Toronto where they
sent their's.
Each part of the box was special
to the students. Grade three student
Robbie McKercher liked the letters
best. Shannon White and Joshua
Acton liked the pictures of the
students in Calgary the best. There
was also maps, post cards, pins,
brochures, pictures, cards and
letters.
The grade three students hope
