An amazing act of kindness out of Lynndale Heights Public School.
On Tuesday morning, an assembly was held to celebrate the students generosity to the community – specifically the Warming Shelter in Downtown Simcoe.
Audio PlayerThat was Principal Lisa Vanleeuwen.
The big idea?
Collecting boxes of cereal and socks for those in need.
Audio PlayerThe boxes were spread around the gym on Tuesday morning and knocked over like a big games of dominos – much to the students delight.
Teacher Ann Reid spearheaded this idea after learning about the Warming Shelter and seeing a good place for Lynndale to jump in to help.
Audio PlayerShe said everything clicked together from the start, and the students were really behind the project the second they heard about it.
Audio PlayerMuch like math playing a good background role in this drive, they also focus on literacy with posters plastered around the school.
Church Out Serving’s Virginia Lucas was on hand to thank the students and receive the bountiful donation.
Audio PlayerThe school said this is just the first step in their efforts to spread kindness into the community.
