Golf Tournament and Silent Auction

Golf Tournament

Despite a cold and rainy April day, sixty-four golfers registered for the first annual JL Jordan Catholic School Golf Tournament! Nancy Ker from Sunnidell Golf Club was most helpful in getting our brave and hardy golfers off to a great start at noon! Many thanks to Steve Clark, Mark Musca, Stephanie Pankow-Gray, Marg Shea Lawrence for sponsoring a child to participate in this tournament.

Tournament Coordinator, Robin Reil, had a wonderful time with his team of three young students. He found this to be a learning experience for his young charges. They learned about the golf ball washer, the lost balls in the bushes and learned not to use the golf club as a hockey stick or baseball bat.

Congratulations to the Carroll team of Ryan, Earl, Jason and Noelle for winning the top scoring team award in the scramble division. Matt and Carter Reil braved the cold to win the top scoring parent and child team award. Lucky Matt Reil also won the 50:50 draw! Grade 6 teacher, Jennifer Morris' team was awarded the Most Honest Golfers award.

Prizes for the golfers were donated by: Lisa Mastin, Joe Jordan, Gord Brown MP, Starbucks, OFIX – Dave Mallory, Jim Jordan, Kelsey’s, Luna Pizzeria, CDSBEO, Lake 88.1 FM (Perth), Brockville YMCA. Trophies were graciously donated by Kathy and Robin Reil.

We hope that by suffering today, we will have wonderful weather on May 5th build day! We sincerely thank our sponsors, participants, and volunteers who made our 2012 tournament and silent auction a success.

Silent Auction

Thanks to Paula Muir and her team for coordinating the Silent Auction. We thank our community for being so generous with the silent auction donations. Pierre Nadeau donated three beautiful bird houses, built and decorated in NHL teams –the Ottawa Senators, The Montreal Canadiens and the Toronto Maple Leafs. A complete list of donors can be found on the website. We appreciate all of your support.

Thank You

We would like to thank Gravel Doctor for their contribution of sand and soil for our yard.  This donation helps our project and will make a difference on our yard.  We have a great community who is stepping up and helping us through in kind donations.

Our Fallen Heroes

J.L. Jordan Catholic School Yard Commemoration

May 5th, 2012

At J.L. Jordan we are guided by a compass that seeks to guide the children to do the right thing everyday - even when nobody is looking. This past week we announced that our project is being dedicated to four heroes from our community.

Our heroes are members of our community, from the past & present. Each of these individuals has done the right thing – “even when nobody was looking”. Their stories are each unique. The circumstances that they faced and their actions have impacted the lives of many, near and far, for years to come.

These individuals have demonstrated courage and compassion for others. They exemplify characteristics that we seek for our children.

We honour:

RCMP Corporal Laurie White – a former student of J.L. Jordan, Laurie has demonstrated undying determination and courage. As an RCMP officer, Laurie was injured in the line of duty. She is the only active duty officer in Canada to return to work with a prosthetic leg.

Corporal Randy Payne – On April 22, 2006 Corporal Randy Payne lost his life while deployed to Afghanistan when an IED struck his vehicle. Corporal Payne gave his life while trying to make a better life for others.

Andrew (Andy) Moffitt - Andrew Moffitt was a courageous young man who gave his life trying to help a friend attacked at an Ottawa bar in the late 1990s. Andy stepped in where he didn’t have to. He was trying to help someone in trouble and gave his life in return. We were honoured to hear that this is the first commemoration of Andy here in his hometown.

Warrant Officer Class 1 Robert Moulton – On May 5, 1943, WWII, the plane that Moulton was piloting was shot down by a German Bomber, according to a Dutch eyewitness account at the time, it is believed that WOI Moulton, in a heroic last-ditch effort, managed to avoid crashing the stricken Wellington Bomber into the village of Wilnis thereby saving many lives.

Each of the honourees above will remain permanently commemorated in our gardens. They will represent the points of our compass and provide direction for our students to find ways to do the right thing… even nobody is looking
