Dear Parents and Campers,
Today at school, we read a book titled "Maddi's Fridge" by Louis Brandt. It was about two best friends, Sofia and Maddi, who live in the same neighborhood, go to the same school, and play in the same park, but while Sofia’s fridge at home is full of nutritious food, the fridge at Maddi’s house is empty. Sofia learns that Maddi’s family doesn’t have enough money to fill their fridge and promises Maddi she’ll keep this discovery a secret. But because Sofia wants to help her friend, she’s faced with a difficult decision: to keep her promise or tell her parents about Maddi’s empty fridge.
This endearing story brings about awareness of how some people in our very own communities, even our very own class, may be struggling with hunger.
As a launch to our Advent season fast approaching, Camp Wilson has decided to put our words into action by participating in ... drum roll please....
THE 16TH ANNUAL
CANS FOR A CAUSE
Our goal is to bring in a total of 200 canned goods/non-perishables as a Camp! That would be 10 cans per campers! I think we CAN do it, do you?! So, beginning Monday, campers are asked to take on some jobs around the house to possibly earn some cans. We have discussed that any giving is giving, so please support this great cause! The BEST part is, WE, CAMP WILSON, will be packing our backpacks and WALKING these cans down to Devonshire Mall OURSELVES to make the donation! Yes, we will need to bundle up, fill our back packs and walk our cans down to the mall on the morning of Friday, December 6th. This is the day AM800 will be accepting donations at Devonshire Mall from 5am to 10pm.
So, let's all pull together and say together...
WE CAN DO IT!
Let the can collecting begin!
Enjoy your weekend everyone!
Counsellor Wilson
