North Addington Education Centre | Oct 21, 2015
The students of North Addington Education Centre will be suiting up in their Campbell's Soup costumes on October 31 and knocking on your door! They will be asking for non-perishable food items for the local food bank, which is experiencing a shortage of food.
About 10 secondary students will be spreading out between Flinton, Northbrook, and Cloyne to hwlp the food bank instead of tricking or treating for candy. The students are not strangers to supporting the community who supports them.
This is the fifth year for the very successful event. We're asking community members to contribute what they can. We will be having three to four students canvassing each community between approximately 5 and 8pm. They will be wearing NAEC ID tags and a very large smile. We are going to visit as many households as possible, but if you have contributions and the food is not picked up, please call Candice Bovard throughout the week at 613-336-8991 and we will pick it up.
On behalf of students and staff, the principal, Angela Salmond, would like to thank the community for their contributions to our food drive efforts over the years. "We would not be able to organize events like this without the support of our generous community. Thank you for investing in our children, and helping to show them what really matters."
If you see students in the community and they are “trick or eating”, feel free to ask them to sing or dance for your donation; they are prepared to work for your generosity!
