A shout out for E-J Boyd, who organizes the breakfast and lunch program at Rock City Elementary in her classroom. Kudos to Jerry Hannah who has founded, organizes, and coaches athletes with special needs in the “Just for Kicks” soccer program. www.harbourcityfc.com A shout out for Ladysmith Secondary’s Darcy Johnson who is offering a yoga class for staff members on a donation basis. Thanks Darcy! Georgia Avenue chose a local book to focus on for the first few weeks of school. The book is called Hideaway Cove, written by Brenda Boreham and illustrated by Laura Timmermans (both locals). The book highlights the local ocean creature and ecosystem and the illustrations are done in water colour. In the fall, the school hosted the author and illustrator. During the visit, there were classroom talks related to the content of the book and the school also created an ocean-themed bulletin board display to go with the theme. The author is a retired teacher from Georgia Avenue and she was able to utilize literacy lessons that go with the book. Shout Outs! 68 Hoorays Thanks E-J Boyd
