We love our Superhero kids. The characters are based on some of our own children and represent the authentic us. They stand for things like fairness, family and fun. That is us. So we love to see stories like the one below, where another group get together and embrace their inner Superhero and do something so awesomely nice for others, our national broadcaster gets involved.

Courtesy of the CBC: Students at the Centre Wellington District High School in Fergus are helping children with cancer get a boost, by making superhero capes for the children to wear.

The initiative is called “Kick It Capes” and began after Fergus teacher Kate Heasman brought the idea to Tracy Brubacher, who teaches clothing and fashion at the high school.

The students at CWDHS have taken to the cape project with gusto.

“Then they can be greater and do greater things and just feel good about themselves and also have that sense of play and bring back that kind of child aspect, because they have that taken away from them when they’re going through an illness like that,” said Taylor Francis, a student at CWDHS.

“A lot of the time thinking that you’ll come out of it, a lot of the time that happens. With these capes it gives a positive ‘Oh! we’re superheros. We can get through anything,'” said student Brodie Workman.
