Get ready for the Butterfly Effect fundraiser on Friday!

McMurrich students have been hard at work, creating beautiful works of art to display at the Butterfly Effect Art Show, this Friday May 13th!

A view down a long table of children drawing and painting, with paint pots, pencils, and pictures of butterflies all along.

A hand dips a paintbrush into blue paint near a selection of different butterfly drawings and paintings.

A child in a green shirt paints a butterfly purple; a completed drawing of a butterfly is in front of him on the table.


The butterfly effect has been selected as the theme for the McMurrich/Winona Welcomes Refugees kick-off fundraising event because we felt that the idea that “the fluttering wings of a butterfly trigger an effect that reverberates around the world,” was the perfect symbol for our initiative. For more on the McMurrich Welcomes Refugees initiative, visit www.mcmurrichrefugees.com.

The event will include a bake sale and open mic talent show, and is open to all in the community. Come on out, bring your neighbours, bring your friends! All funds raised will go towards the sponsorship of a refugee family from Syria. 

Big thanks to the McMurrich Welcomes Refugees committee and the School Council Enrichment committee for making it happen!
