Happy New Year! How wonderful it is to reconnect with our King’s-Edgehill community as 2019 begins. As students and staff share stories about their holiday traditions and travels, it is great to remember those local families who benefited from our Youth-in-Action Christmas Giving campaign. Our beautifully decorated Christmas tree no longer graces the entrance to our Performing Arts Centre, but thoughts of the toys, gifts and food bank items, now in the hands of local families, can put smiles on our faces. It is pleasing to know that the sleigh-full of items was delivered just before Christmas and shared with many families in need in our Windsor area. In addition to the gifts under the tree, a cheque for $350 was also presented to Matthew-25, our Windsor Food Bank. Special thanks are extended to our Youth-in-Action team who organized the collection, to those who decorated our Giving Tree, and to all the students, staff and families who left donations. The lasting joy of the season really comes from the giving.
This isn't the only example of King's-Edgehill School students contributing positively to our wider community. There are many opportunities to have an impact at KES. Read more about our Student Volunteers here.
