EDSS students rally to the cause in support of group’s winter clothing drive LIZ BEVAN IT IS GETTING COLD out there, and with the holiday season approaching, a small group of Elmira District Secondary School wants to keep everyone warm. The period A Learning Strategies class, made up of six to eight students, are collecting every piece of warm clothing and winter accessories they can get their hands on with the winter clothing drive. They put the call out to their fellow students, and the response has been great. Teacher Maddie Colbeck says they already have more boxes to donate than expected, and they are looking to gather a bit more. “So far we have enough for 12 complete boxes, which is way more than what we planned for. We had talked about what would equal success for this, and really, the group said anything,” she shared. “One box is better than no boxes. I had thought that maybe we would get 10, and we are 12 already, so by the end of the week, maybe 15. Huge success for us so far.”
The period A Learning Strategies class at Elmira District Secondary School has been collecting winter clothing from fellow students for almost two weeks. The collected items will be donated to Woolwich Community Services and oneROOF in Kitchener to help those in need.
