Ms. Peacock's class donates to the mission

By Anonymous -
The students from Ms. Peacock's grade 10 religion class raised money to provide meals for those in need.  During the Christmas season they studied essays and watched The Soloist to learn about homelessness.  During a class discussion they decided that they should put their learning into action.  The class learned about how much the Downtown Mission does for the people of Windsor and wanted to help them do this.  It was just as important for them to do good in their community as it was to learn about doing good in their class work.  The class came together to collect money and help provide meals for 48 people at the Downtown Mission Christmas party on December 15th.  They are very proud of what they have accomplished and learned throughout this Christmas season.

 The year is coming to a close and with that, the YPI event has also wrapped up. This event has grade 10 students in the religion classes research and visit a local charity in a bid to win funds for that charity.  These funds go a long way to help out the people of Windsor Essex.  This year has posed a challenge for the teachers and students in grade 10 who participated in YPI.  However, they still rose to the challenge and produced amazing work. This year we would like to congratulate:  Maya Williams for Noah's House  Donnovan Bennett for Family Respite Services  Raein Zara, Noah Hammett, Haydin Blain, Ben Farina, Louis Tessier, Hunter Moore for Ronald McDonald House Maryam Sako, Hailey Mallett, Sedra Yousif for Windsor Women Working with Immigrant Women Also a huge congratulations and thank you to Beth Peacock and Dawn Ibrahim who have worked with these students to help them produce such amazing work.   This could not function without you both.
