Maple Crest students donate

Students from Maple Crest Early School presented a cheque for $3,000 to Ann Godfrey the Foundation Manager of the Family and Children’s Services Niagara (FACS). Students were quick to offer their suggestions to Godfrey as to how they felt the money should be put to use. Most students want the money to go towards helping Children get involved in extra-curricular activities, including football and ballet.

Students also honoured Mrs. Godfrey with a demonstration of their newly acquired ballroom dancing skills. As a thank-you, Godfrey presented the students with a gift-basket filled with peanut-free snacks and special teas.  J.D. Cawood / VOICE Photo
