What has been happening with Me to We?!

Here is a picture from our latest We to Me meeting.

We have had a busy few months in We to Me.  We had a very successful food drive at Christmas for the Food Bank.  900 items were collected as well as a donation of $90 that Division One made selling snacks to parents who attended the Christmas primary play.

We collected three hundred dollars worth of pennies for the the Free the Children/Royal Bank Clean Water campaign.  This is enough to give 12 people fresh water for life.That was a lot of penny counting.

The next fund raising event was selling candy grams for Valentine Day.   170.70 was raised.  We also had a fun event when we had the senior boys and girls basketball teams play a mixed exhibit game.  Spectators paid a dollar raising another $46.

Next project planned is the We are Silent annual fundraising and awareness-raising campaign.  Once again we are planning to sell masks to people to participate in our afternoon of silence and some students will be collecting pledges for being silent as well.   This event is to stand up for children who are being silenced by the denial of their basic human rights.
