"It’s empty, bare," he said "In my six years on this job I have never seen them so empty." said Joey Blevis, Manager of the Calgary Poppy Fund, Veteran’s Food Bank. Hello Edgemont School, As a part of their study of Current Events in Social Studies, the Grade 3’s of Mrs. Shukin's room and the Grade 6’s of Mr. Thomas’ room read the article that contained the quote above and the news hit them! They knew right away that something needed to be done before it was too late. So the Grade 3’s asked their Grade 6 Buddies to help them with this project. What Project? Helping to re-stock the shelves at the Calgary Veteran’s Food Bank! Why? This article is all about how in these tough times, many brave Calgarian veterans / ex-military and their families need help getting the food necessary to take care of themselves. The students realized that they wanted to help the people who gave so much in the past to help keep Canada safe. Food donations are being collected in the big boxes in the main hallway of the school until November 10, 2016! Please help us to help them by donating food to the Veteran’s Food Bank. Remember, to please only donate non-perishable food (tinned, boxed or preserved foods) Thank you for any support you can provide, - Grade 3’s and 6’s Comments are closed.
