 IN THIS ISSUE
 
Music Department:
On Saturday, December 10th, from 1-3 pm, the QAA music department could be heard spreading Christmas joy throughout the Loblaw’s supermarket in Kirkland. Twenty-six band students along with the QAA choir spent the afternoon performing Christmas carols for the shoppers in an effort to raise money for the President’s Choice Children’s Foundation, an organization that supports local West Island families in need. We raised over $400 for this charity, and received numerous compliments from both customers and store workers who claimed that the lively music helped lift their spirits at this hectic time of year. It was a lot of fun and we plan to make this an annual event.
Physical Education Department:
This year QAA sent four teams to the 10th anniversary celebration of Splash and Dash; you may remember reading about this in our Daily Announcements. The event took place on Sat. Nov. 19th at the McGill University Sports Complex. We raised over $600 for the Sarah Cook Fund, which goes to support the Cedars Cancer Institute for Children. I helped to promote, to recruit and to organize the student teams for this event. A special thank you to Allyson Anderson, mother of Pamela Bunys (sec. 5) for bringing the idea to me and for cheering on our teams (she is one of the School Team Volunteer Coordinators at Splash and Dash).
QAA Alumnae – What’s Up!
Days fly by too quickly and sometimes we forget to keep in touch. So many of our Alums are doing fantastic things and we would like to share the news with all of QAA. We would like to have entries every month, so we are asking that you contact us before the first of every month (January 1st, February 1st, etc.). If you are interested in sharing any Alumnae news with us, please contact Ms. Margaret Buzas at buzas.m@qaa.qc.ca
