Our schools continue to benefit from the generosity of community partners. For example, Princess Elizabeth received a very generous donation to the breakfast and snack program from Kings Church.  

Kustom Auto provided a very generous donation of running shoes and gift cards to several of our schools. Thank you! 



Our schools continue their own efforts to give back. Just one example is Harry Miller Middle School. Students and staff have been collecting new socks to donate to Outflow, Hestia, and Coverdale Centre, as well as collecting funds to support SJ Community Foundation and the David Kelly Memorial Bursary Fund.
