Spirits were soaring at GREC Monday afternoon at the Foodbank Fundraising Challenge reveal with NAEC.
The excitement could be felt as students gathered in the gym for an online reveal with students from NAEC. An astounding $11000 plus was raised for our respective foodbanks. Janice Anderson from the North Frontenac foodbank was present at the reveal to share in with what we have been waiting for since April 1.
GREC came out ahead raising $6361.45 and NAEC trailed just a bit with $5297. A huge congratulations to students and staff of both schools for their dedication and generosity towards this very worthwhile cause helping many families in our communities and surrounding areas.
Now comes the messy part. Some Vikings are in for a nasty SLIMING.
(Editors note – The NAEC Vikings who will be slimed have been dubbed “The J Team”. They include school Principal John Mooney, Vice Principal Jamie McCullough, and Adolescent Care Worker Josh Goodfellow – check out the Slime Challenge video.
