The frst of two grade 12 Canoe Trips, left Thursday, September 11, at 5:00 a.m. for their long trek up ta Algonquin Park. This tip brings senior students together for a fun and char- acter building weekend of canoeing and camping. The, weather was perfect for such an excursion and we can only hope that the second Canoe Trip, on September 25, wlil have such summer-like weather. This year, the OAC World Issues class of Mr. Monrison got involved in the commun- ty right away. The class went pear plcking on Wednesday, September 17 at the Van Haverbecke's Pear Orchard farmn in Newcastle. The peans picked during this excursion were then sold at school and ta the comrnunlty in order ta raise funds for Amnesty International, which helps to protect human rlghts across the world and provides polit- ical asylum. The fundraising. project raised over $200.00 for the cause and looks as though it will became a new tradition at St. Stephen's. As we annually do at St. Stephen's, we took a day to welcome aur grade nine stu- dents ta the school. At lunch hour ail the grade nines were invited ta the gym ta partake in some fun games and hat dogs provided by 0.S.AAI.D. (Ontario Students Against Impaired Dnlving).

September 15, In order to brlng the whole sehool together for. a Urne ta gather our thouglits. After theliturgy, the students were given a treat of donuts and juice, organized by this year's student council as a symbol of hospitality. That same day was the kçick-off for the third annual St. Stephen's walk/bike-a- thon., This year we are donat- ing part of the money ralsed to two local charities; St. Vincent De Paul and Bethesda House. These are two great organizations which do wonderful work in our community. The first full student coun- cil meeting was held on Thursday, September 18. Al classrooms were encouraged to choose a homeroom repre- sentative to brlng concerns to coundil and then report to the student body about the pro- jects golng an, in the school.
