Belleisle Elementary School Students Give Warm Welcome to Syrian Families

​“Kindergarten and Grade 1 students at Belleisle Elementary School wanted to give a warm welcome to the children of Syrian refugee families. Mr. Isaac Jones, with the support of Mrs. Dianne Keith and Ms. Heather Folkins, had their students create Welcome to Canada cards containing personal messages. Officials and volunteers of the Syrian Refugee Response program of the Greater Saint John YMCA’s Newcomer Connections were touched by the initiative. And, the smiling faces of the Syrian children in the photo show their great joy at receiving the cards.”
