GO, JOHN, GO!
We are so lucky to have two brilliant SNAs, John and Natalie, working with us this year. They make school life so much fun and we are well looked after by them both. John is currently undertaking fundraising for the Epilepsy Society. He plans to complete three marathons on three different continents in 60 days: the Tokyo Marathon on March 3rd, the Boston Marathon on April 15th, and the London Marathon on April 21st. When John finishes all three, he will add to his previously achieved major World Marathons- Berlin, New York and Chicago, which earns him a special Abbott Medal and place in the Hall of Fame. Naturally, we are all so proud of John for his past achievements and his current fundraising and training. We wanted to show support for John’s quest ahead and tie the celebrations in with his birthday. We put a plan in action, but decided to keep it a TOP SECRET!
On Friday 9th of February, two days before John’s birthday, we held the big surprise. While John had his break, we, along with Natalie and Ms. Gaire were busy decorating the classroom in purple decorations and putting on purple clothes and accessories. After John’s break, he walked into a sea of purple! Purple is the colour associated with the Epilepsy Society. We performed a special poem for John. We listened to him speak about his reasons for fundraising for the Epilepsy Society, about the 10 marathons that he has already completed, his current training regime and his plans for the next three marathons in March and April. We learned so much from John. As we say in our poem, John is a “real life Super Hero!” We are John’s biggest cheerleaders and wish him the very best of luck with the three marathons ahead. We cannot wait to see the medals that John will return with after his trips to Tokyo, Boston and London.
