Teachers, parents and students,

Our committee wishes you a great school year. It will be challenging and hopefully tremendously enjoyable.

This is a reminder about our t-shirt competition for the Rankin Cancer Run. Any student is eligible to enter our competition for our 5th annual run on May 29, 2010. The deadline is January 26th.

The guidelines for the competition are:

1) Students in Kindergarten through University are eligible to enter.

2) Submit pictures on 8 x 10 paper.

3) Please use a maximum of three colours.

4) The theme is cancer – what does the word mean to you? How do we join together to raise funds to fight cancer? How can we positively send a message through the picture you create?

5) Create a picture, big, bold and easily seen and understood.
