This morning, our Grade 6 students had the opportunity to walk over to Toys R’ Us at Markville Mall, which opened an hour earlier to give our students exclusive shopping time. Using the donations collected from October’s Care & Share, our Grade 6 class was able to carry on the tradition of shopping for toys for less fortunate children this Christmas. These toys will be organized and distributed through CTV/The Salvation Army’s Toy Mountain campaign. Wesley was able to make a contribution through your generous donation of $1086.40 that was put towards the purchase of many, many toys!
Students were in groups and each had a job to do, whether that be pushing the cart, using a calculator to keep track of their group total, writing the toys and costs down on a clipboard, or lining up at the check-out to put their purchases into bags. Their excitement and desire to spend the money wisely and to use their choices to bless others this Christmas was wonderful to see!
Before returning to school, the Grade 6 class stopped at the food court and enjoyed a snack and/or beverage.
Thank you for your contributions that allowed our students to have this unique opportunity. Your donations and our student’s efforts will certainly make a difference for many families this Christmas.
