Make Change for Children

Hey Glendale Families!!! It’s time for our annual Make Change for Kids Classroom Challenge for the nonprofit group Education Foundation of Niagara (efn@dsbn.org).

EFN is an organization operating within the District School Board of Niagara that helps to provide needed funds and resources, for DSBN students, where government funding is not available. Donations help to create a community where every student has access to all of the enriching opportunities that school life offers by:

• providing support to students in financial need for basic neces-sities and extra-curricular activities (shoes, winter clothing, food, medical needs, glasses, other basic necessities) • providing annual student awards and bursaries • supporting progressive programs and services in our schools that enrich students’ educational experiences (field trips, in-school programs, arts programs) • providing innovative community initiatives (prom project, swim to survive)

All of EFN’s programs and initiatives rely solely on individual and community donations. 100% of funds raised go directly to help DSBN students.

Each Glendale class is challenged to bring in donations between April 29 and May 3 The 3 classes with the most money in their jars will choose from 3 ex-

citing prizes:

1. Mini frosty for everyone in the class 2. 2 periods for games or a movie (class choice) 3. 1 extra period of recess or gym (class choice)
