Helping Others at Christmas Time

Thank you to all the parents and students who gave so generously to our adopt-a-family project. We have enabled a family to celebrate Christmas and in return we all feel joy in knowing that we have helped a family in need. Thank you to the teachers who will be delivering the hampers to each family today and tomorrow!

Today, our grade 5 students went to the Christmas Cheerboard to help pack boxes for hampers. They packed 350 boxes. Way to go! In addition, they brought 2 boxes of donated food and all the mittens, scarves and hats from our mitten tree.

At our holiday concerts on Wednesday & Thursday, we will be collecting non-perishable items for the Cheerboard.

These projects provided the staff and students of École Assiniboine the opportunity to participate and feel the true meaning of Christmas. Merry Christmas & Happy New Year!
