Cops For Cancer
This THURSDAY the Tour de Rock riders are coming to visit Claremont and we're doing our best to raise $11,000 for Cops for Cancer, beating last year's total by 10%!!!  Thanks to the hard work of our Leadership 11/12 class students; all week you'll see lots of fun things going on in the school, all in the name of raising funds for our Cops for Cancer visit!

TODAY:  Grade 12s are being auctioned off at lunch in the Theatre for this Friday's MINIONS day.  Each grade 12 who volunteers to be a Minion will spend time with their “Gru” on Friday: bring lunch, help them throughout the day and eat lunch together.  Minimum bid per grad will be $5.  Grads who wish to be minions, please see the Grad Facebook Page for info.  
WEDNESDAY:  We will be shaving heads and waxing legs of brave students at lunch time in the lounge, all in the name of supporting Cops for Cancer.
THURSDAY:  The big day!  We welcome the Tour de Rock riders to Claremont at 12:00 noon.  We will have an altered bell schedule and a grade assembly, performance by the dance classes, the inaugural Claremont Climb race from Cordova Bay,  as well as STAFF head-shavings and leg-waxings.  
FRIDAY:  Minion Day!  Grade 12s will be making lunches and serving their "GRU".
All of this is in addition to the Block 2 fund-raising challenge, which is still being led by Mr. Plant's class!!! The last day for Block 2 donations is THURSDAY!  If you have a block 2 study block, there is a donation box in the office!
