Across the board, students, staff and parents are finding ways to celebrate the spirit of the season with others. Once again this year, many schools are collecting toys and stuffed animals for children less fortunate. Cookies and candy cane messages are being sold at the school throughout the month of December to further the funds raised. Students are also donating non-perishable food items as admission to the holiday dance which will take place on Dec. 16.
Many schools have a proud tradition of organizing community outreach activities.
Caledon Central Public School has created a 'Santa Express' train with close to 50 boxcars to collect non-perishable goods, toys and knitted items. Students, staff and parents began filling the boxcars on Dec. 1. On Dec. 15, the train will be on display in the school lobby. The train will then be given to Caledon Community Services, and all donations will be distributed to families in Caledon this holiday season. Our students enjoy helping others in the community.
