Dog Day at Our Campus
In a heartwarming display of compassion and community spirit, our dedicated grade 7 students have embarked on a remarkable fundraising initiative as part of their Mission Service Learning (MSL) project. Their unwavering commitment to giving back to those in need has inspired us all.
One innovative event that captured the hearts of our school community was the "Dog Day" gathering. Students who have furry companions at home eagerly brought their beloved pets to campus, offering a unique opportunity for our community members to interact with these adorable four-legged friends.

The presence of these lovable dogs provided a much-needed respite from the daily stresses and pressures of school life. Students, teachers, and staff alike relished the chance to alleviate their stress by spending quality time with these furry companions. By purchasing a ticket, individuals could enjoy a special session with the dogs, indulging in the therapeutic effects of petting and embracing their comforting presence.
The proceeds generated from this heartwarming event were dedicated to supporting a worthy cause—the GEKKO organization. This remarkable organization is steadfast in its mission to empower impoverished communities, providing them with sustainable income opportunities, access to education, and meaningful employment, both during the ongoing pandemic and beyond. By directing the funds raised towards GEKKO, our students demonstrated their profound dedication to uplifting those most in need.
