For the past two years, IPS has been sending its grade 7 and 8 students on a sailing trip organized by SALTS, and it is hoping to do that again this year. To raise the money required for this experience, IPS is holding a number of fundraising events including an upcoming movie day. The Muppet Movie will be shown at Cates Hill Chapel on Saturday, February 11, at 3:30 p.m. There will be popcorn, juice, and cupcakes for concession. Tickets are $5 each and are available at the Phoenix and IPS. There will be a raffle draw at the end of the movie. The prize is a package with two Tuscany pizzas, a movie rental and popcorn. Raffle tickets are sold outside the Snug Cove General Store this weekend and at the movie.

Last year, I went on a weeklong trip with the grade 7 and 8 students on the tall sailing ship Pacific Swift. The experience was incredible. We did everything from climbing "ratlines" to helping out in the galley. We helped plot our course, steered the ship, and had classes about various nautical topics almost daily. At the end of the trip, everyone took a test about ropes, map charting, and nautical terms among other things. The entire experience was incredible and fantastic, and we welcome any donations and help to get us there this year! A fun way to support us is to come to our movie day, featuring the Muppets!
