Well what a fantastic month we had this December! Our penny drive came to an official close in November with a grand total of $1200. Great job everyone and thank you for helping out! Of course, our winning class celebrated with ice cream, hula skirts, sprinkles and music! Thank you to all who helped out with their serving and waiter-ing skills. It was a ton of fun!
Our meetings consisted of figuring out the planning for the party and we started to play some fun ice breaker games. Our last meeting of December was on the 14 due to the winter break. So we ended the year with a BANG and celebrated with lots of yummy food, chit chatting and watching a movie.
A big thanks to all our active members for making this year truly great! We hope to see you all in the next year, we've got big dreams and a lot to do so rest up and enjoy your holidays! A happy new year from the exec team and see you on Jan 4 :)

Another YIA fundraiser COMING SOON (possibly for Valentine’s Day) – Ideas:
- Candy grams
- Hersheys
- Specialized Bake Sale
- Roses/Flowers (delivery?)
- YIA Dance? – semi-formal, MuchMusic DJ? Needs to be approved by Mr. Heffernan
- Semi-formal dinner – costs a lot of money and need to collaborate with Food school
- Link Crew type movie night for Valentine’s Day – movie: Valentine’s Day? The Notebook? Dear John? Etc.
If you have any other ideas, PLEASE share them with us (no matter how bizarre they are!) Email michelle or the Youth in Action email yia.rbhs@gmail.com
