Hi friends,

Today I met the children in Mrs. Head's class at Frank Hobbs Elementary in Victoria, British Columbia, Canada. They are very excited about my home visits and writing in my book.

It was the Terry Fox Run at Frank Hobbs School today and the school raised $591. The children ran almost 1,000 km. in 30 minutes. Terry Fox was a young man who lost his leg to cancer and then ran half way across Canada on a special leg before the cancer came back.

Jane introduced me in an assembly and everyone is happy that I'm a Peace bear. I also met Kissme and Mellow who are ImagiNations teddy bear’s from past years.

You can look at some pictures of Victoria and Frank Hobbs Elementary by visiting Kissme’s photo gallery at http://www.smarterkids.org/imaginations/Gallery/ImagiBears0304/kissme/victoria.asp or by visiting Mellow’s photo gallery at http://www.smarterkids.org/imaginations/gallery/Mellow/frankhobbs.asp and http://www.smarterkids.org/imaginations/gallery/Mellow/frankhobbs_part2.asp

Your friend,
Peace
