Please click "Like" to Thank the students of Shawnigan Lake School who came to help assemble gift hampers and make a generous donation from the students' own fundraising activities! Special message from Reese, one the students, below:
"I am a Grade 12 at Shawnigan Lake School, and this year for my Senior Capstone project I wanted to become more involved in community service and local volunteer work. For the first part of my project, I decided to raise money for local families around the Christmas season. Christmas is something that has always been very important to me, but I have recently become more aware of how lucky I am to have gifts, food, and to be around family every year. Through my project, I hope to support local families, as well as asking students at my school to be more grateful for how lucky we are. Through a pyjama dress up day, as well as a charitable food sale, we raised $900 for your charity to go towards local families.
I really appreciated the chance to volunteer with you, as well as to really see first-hand the impact we can have on the local community. Thank you so much for your assistance in this project, I hope we can work together in the future.
Thank you!
Sofie, Mak, Lexxi and Reese from Shawnigan Lake School.
