After one successful bake sale, Ecole Riverside School held a second one with proceeds being donated to the Canadian Red Cross.
The first bake sale featured baking from the parents of kindergarten to grade three students took place on the 11th and brought in $1,525.
Their second bake sale on the 18th that had baking from grades four through eight students saw donations totaling $1,488.
Riverside Principal Jonathan Wamboldt explains how the idea to do these bake sales originated.
“[My son and I] saw it on the news and we said ‘We should try and do something’. So I brought it up to our awards assemblies and we talked about it with our students. So then our students decided that’s what we would do, and we had a great turnout. And we also had lots of supplies brought to us, so it was nice to see everyone’s generosity in helping with this cause.”
Between the two bake sales, they managed to raise $3,013.
