Katelyn and Emily's Report on Giving Back

For the past couple weeks our Student Advisory Group has been working on giving back to families in need for a wonderful Christmas. We have been having meetings every Monday, were we have been talking about the progress we have made. Some of the things we have been doing are a Canned Food Drive, Adopt a Family, and donating coats and such to Salvation Army. All of this ended on Friday December 14th.

Today, Monday December 17th the Times Journal came to our school to take pictures of what we have accomplished, and the reporter also interviewed one of the students from the Student Advisory Group. The main reason why we put all this together is because we feel like everyone should have a thankful Christmas even though Christmas isn’t all about presents. It’s about spending time with people you love. People may be asking why we did more then one thing to give back? The reason why we chose to do more than one thing is that even though doing the canned food drive is a lot to handle, we thought that we could take on more tasks to make four families' Christmas the best that we could.

With all the cans everyone brought in, we have collected over 300 canned goods. There was over 70 dollars of Canadian Tire money to spend on more presents for the families. Also we have at least 20 coats to donate to the Salvation Army.

We would like to thank everybody who brought in presents for the families, canned foods for the canned food drive, and Canadian Tire money to buy even more presents for the families. Also, we would like to thank Mr. Jackson, the Heath unit, and the rest of the Student Advisory Group. This would not work out if no one helped the families in need.

Thank you
