Education student organizes donations for school children in need

| Students

When 秀色短视频 education students returned from their pre-service training this time last year they held a class discussion about the obvious impact of poverty on students in some local schools, and they talked about actions that might make a difference. Christie Chandler, now in second-year Education, has taken that discussion a step further this year by organizing a holiday campaign to collect good quality clothing, non-perishable food items, and personal toiletries to distribute to young people who are in need.

The campaign is concentrating on junior and senior high school students in the Charlottetown area in particular. The schools will distribute the donated items, in a confidential manner, to the students who could most benefit from them. Birchwood and Colonel Gray schools in Charlottetown have been designated as the drop-off points. Anyone with items to donate may deliver them to either school on any week day until December 22. More information is available via the 秀色短视频 Faculty of Education at 566-0731.
