On April 12th the clan of U & O (Upstanding and Outstanding) had a bottle drive to raise money. They were raising money for Adopt a Village in Ghana. The pillar in Ghana is food security. You help families buy seeds and buy tools to make a garden. From the bottle drive they made $1880.30 that goes towards that pillar. Thanks to everyone who helped out.

On Monday the 28th, Craik School had two special guests; Tania and Michael from Free the Children: Food for All speaking tour. They spoke to grades 3-8 about food security (the three A's: availability, acceptability and accessibility). After they finished the presentation they held a work shop with the grade 7/8 class to teach them more about food security. Tania and Michael came all the way from Toronto and this was their first time in Saskatchewan. The day was very windy, cold and foggy. Despite the weather they all had a great time playing games such as Squirt and Cross the Line!

Upstanding and Outstanding has evolved in the last couple of months, and has become a complex enterprise. The grade 7/8s have created a blog (UandO.wordpress.com), TWEET weekly on the Craik School Twitter account and have created a Facebook group (SkyAnn Stinson). There are three divisions in the organization: Media, Logo and Fundraising. Mrs. Dolman acts as their assistant.
The Free the Children initiative "We Create Change" will be receiving a donation of approximately $1000.00. The entire school came together and raised $600.00. The community of Craik also contributed in the Penny Drive with donations of $400.00. In total 40 people in Kenya will have clean drinking water for life. UandO will be holding a bottle drive in the New Year, so hang on to your cans and bottles!
