Charitable efforts

Students and staff of Our Lady of the Way School in Stratton recently participated in the “Water Rafiki Friend Chain”, and the “We Create Change” National Penny Drop-off. All of the funds raised are in support of “Free the Children’s” Water Initiatives with the goal being to help provide 100,000 people in developing communities with permanent sources of clean water for drinking and food preparation. Pictured, holding some of the pennies collected for “We Create Change”, are students with their teachers Mrs. Nicole Wood (left) and Mrs. Lisa Latimer. They estimated that over five kg of pennies were collected and dropped off at RBC Bank in Fort Frances, which is also a partner in this cause.
