Several Anglophone North District schools arranged for their
students to collect food items for local food banks when they visited their
neighbours on Halloween. Most food bank inventories are getting quite low according
to recent media reports. The Miramichi Food Bank for instance, is presently supporting more
than 400 familes and so the organization was very grateful when 2 district
schools delivered more than 1.8 metric tonnes of non-perishable food on
November 1st. Please visit Delivering to the Food Bank
to see photos.
Recently, Campbellton Middle School held a fun evening for boys from CMS and their fathers, grandparents, or other male adult role models. Mr. Graham, our vice-principal, says that “The goal of the event was to welcome fathers, grandfathers, and father figures into the school. They play a huge role in the lives of the young males at CMS, and we don’t often get to see them, as mothers are most often involved when it comes to anything to do with their children’s education.” Some of the younger and “older” guys played basketball, others played floor hockey and some played video games.
