Three cheers for one of the best survival kit distributions ever! With the help of first-year parents Elaine Ellis and Karen Goolsky, student worker Brittney Sousa, and staff members Kay MacLean and Pauline Dionne, we handed out more than 260 of the 270 Exam Survival Kits, Spirit packages and fruit baskets on Dec 4, 5, and 8.

It was so much fun to see student reactions to receiving the packages. Students received personalized notes of encouragement with their packages, and many had envious friends asking “whatcha get?” We saw many smiling faces and a few sheepish grins as students read their little notes. One student said “this really made my day!”

The Parents Association wishes to thank those parents who participated in this fundraiser and the volunteers who helped make this a tremendous success!

We look forward to the Valentine’s Day promotional event in February. We will be looking for volunteers to help out on Feb. 11, 12, and 13.
