FHCI Rugby goes to England!
Submitted by Ron Felsen on Wed, 03/03/2010 - 13:04
I am writing on behalf of the FHCI community to acknowledge the tremendous efforts and results achieved by the Forest Hill Collegiate UK Tour Rugby Team on the eve of their upcoming trip.
The Fundraising Committee has raised $25,000 towards the trip to offset student costs. While the Committee members spearheaded the fundraising, the players have put in a great effort to raise funds through calendar sales and car washes. Thank you to all the members of the FHCI community who supported the team by purchasing a calendar or attending the car washes.
The players have also been practising with great determination in preparation for this once-in-a-lifetime trip. The team received a letter of acknowledgement and encouragement from our mayor, David Miller (attached). Mr. Naylor and Mr. Macdonald, the rugby team coaches, informed the players yesterday at their practice and handed out copies of the letter to each of them.
These young men are dedicated to their team and are working towards a common goal, which clearly identifies FHCI as a school that strives for excellence.
I am sure you join me in wishing the Rubgy Team a wonderful trip and great success in their upcoming games in England.

Starting from Jan. 11, there will be food sold at lunch in the foyer. Food from different cultures will be sold in order to raise money to help our foster child.
Donations to Canadian Red Cross to assist the people of Haiti
Submitted by Aneta Costin on Tue, 01/19/2010 - 19:05
Each day since last week’s devastating earthquake in Haiti we have seen pictures and heard stories of unbelievable suffering and devastation. We have also seen confirmation from around the world that we are indeed our brothers’ and sisters’ keepers.
According to the TDSB website, our school board is supporting donations to two charities, one of which is the Canadian Red Cross. In order to allow our students and community to help newly identified brothers and sisters, we will be collecting donations for the Canadian Red Cross at Forest Hill Collegiate starting on Tuesday and running until Friday. We will kick off our campaign with a coin collection on Tuesday during Period 2.
Parents who wish to send donations via their children may do so either by cash or cheque. Donations of $10 or more will generate a receipt for income tax purposes. If you wish a tax receipt, please send a cheque for $10 or more, made out to The Canadian Red Cross, with your name and address clearly indicated on your cheque.
As you know, the Canadian government will match individual contributions to a maximum of $50 million.
I know I can count on the FHCI community of staff, students and parents to assist the relief efforts in Haiti.

FHCI is Hosting a Presentation
Submitted by Aneta Costin on Tue, 01/12/2010 - 17:18
On Wednesday morning, FHCI is hosting a presentation for elementary school children from 11 area schools. The speaker will be Greg Mortenson, co-author of the New York Times #1 bestseller "Three Cups of Tea" and author of bestseller "Stones for Schools." Mr. Mortenson will be speaking to about 700 students in Grade 4 to 6 from 11 local elementary schools. The students in our Grade 12 Writer's Craft course will also be in the audience. I am hoping we will have space for our 10 students from Pakistan and Afghanistan, where Mr. Mortenson has been so instrumental in the cause of education and peace.
I am half way through "Three Cups of Tea" and am finding this true story totally absorbing. I aim to finish the book before Wednesday.
I encourage you to read about Mr. Mortenson and his remarkable contributions at http://www.threecupsoftea.com/greg-mortenson-bio-and-professional-photo/
