Jonathan's Butterfly Wall Fundraiser - December 11th and 12th

On December 11th and 12th, the grade 6 class will be raising funds for a boy named Jonathan Pitre who has a rare skin disease called EB. This disease makes his skin so delicate that it hurts when he’s touched, puts his clothes on, or even eats. When anything brushes his skin it blisters and gets rashes that take along time to go away. Because of this it takes him 2 hours to get ready for bed so he doesn’t get the blisters or rashes. Jonathan’s dream is to see the northern lights because he think it bring him closer to all the people with EB. He also wants to help raise money for EB awareness. The grade 6 students at  St. Anne school are raising money to help Jonathan with his dream by selling origami butterflies for one dollar each. On the 11th and 12th of December students will be going from class to class selling the origami butterflies, which will then be put up on the wall outside the Learning Commons to show support for Jonathan.
