St. Francis Flames donate money and hair to Northern Cancer Foundation!
What started off as a fun idea in a class quickly became a school-wide event, benefiting our community in more ways than one!
Together, the school raised $660 for the Northern Cancer Foundation. Ajani, a student at the school, also raised an additional $920 – bringing their total to nearly $1600!
Ajani, along with two teachers Melissa and Amanda, also decided to donate their hair to the foundation so that wigs can be made for patients in need! Flames prove time and time again just how selfless they are! Great job by all.
St. Francis Flames Celebrate Literacy Day with Annual Book Swap
St. Francis staff and students celebrated Literacy Day and their love of books with its annual book swap organized by the school’s resource teacher, Ms. G. Visentin. Staff and students kicked off the special event arriving to school dressed as their favourite story book character. Students donated gently used books from their home and traded them in for “new” books. The school’s cafeteria had a large selection of book titles on display for students to choose from in both English and French languages. The book swap provided an excellent opportunity for students to exchange books and encourage reading.
