Back to School! Our time in Moncton, New Brunswick…
June: Schoooool’s out for Summer!
September: School’s ba-ack! YES!
We ran into the bustling metropolis of Moncton, New Brunswick on a brisk Sunday night of September 14th only to wake up, Monday morning, eager and rearing to go because, yes folks, school was back in, and the Run for One Planet school blitz 2008/2009 was back in business.
It couldn’t have started on a better note as we were met by an eager cross country team at West Riverview Elementary School, who ran us into their gym to the screams, hoots ‘n hollers of 400 kids. Matt’s cartoon antics were, as always, a great ice breaker, as we watched all the kids get all goofy, realizing they had Corey from Being Ian, Finn from Storm Hawks, and Rafael from Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles standing right in front of them. The tweens girls got especially giggly when they found out that Tender Heart from Care Bears was in the house.
From our point of view, it’s all about the kids. They just get it. They get why we’re out here. They get why it’s important. They get that their actions count.
Looking back at the short time we had before schools were out in June, we got a taste of how powerful schools could be to have our message really “heard” (we couldn’t wait for school to be back in session… sorry kids). Our first day at West Riverview, followed on Tuesday by Bessborough Elementary School and Beaverbrook Elementary School, absolutely confirmed our desire to spend as much time for the remainder of the tour with kids.
We also welcomed the lovely Vanessa Blanch from CBC’s Moncton Radio into the E-Volution RV for way longer than the allotted 5-minute morning segment.
We wrapped up Moncton with an amazing evening birthday celebration for our beloved Road Manager Vanilla – Happy 30th… again!
