Thirty students and five teachers from Creighton Community School are leaving today to join tens of thousands of other students and teachers in Saskatoon to celebrate We Day which brings youth together to show them they are not alone in their journey to make a difference. The school’s Stacy Becker says the students are really looking forward to the event. She says We Day is a day that’s put on by Free the Children and you cannot buy a ticket you have to earn it and usually that’s through different actions.  She says for example last year as part of their global action they did a walk for water where they collected pledges and the kids walked from Denare Beach to the Rotary Wheel raising over three thousand dollars with that initiative.

The celebration will include NBA legend Magic Johnson, Martin Luther King the third and numerous recording stars, actors and guest speakers.  It provides schools with curricular resources, campaigns and material to help turn the day’s inspiration into sustained action.
