Winter Warm Up: Feeding Hearts, Warming Souls
The Happy Helpers - Kindness Initiative #1
A group of 8 grade 3 students, led by Mrs. Reid, are embarking on Kindness Initiative #1.
As we embrace the winter season, we are excited to announce our first initiative aimed at making a positive impact on our community. We have launched the CES Food Drive. The students have named it
Winter Warm Up: Feeding Hearts, Warming Souls, and they have named themselves “
The Happy Helpers”.
The purpose of this food drive is to support The Kanata Food Cupboard and ensure that families in need have access to nutritious meals during the winter months. The hope is that by coming together as a community, we can make a significant difference in the lives of those less fortunate. Not only that, but we are also taking a closer look at breaking cultural and social barriers and will be creating a list of donation items that meet the needs of as many people as we can in our community.
