On April 25th, students at
Lord Beaverbrook School (LBS) in Campbellton participated in HOP for muscular
dystrophy (MD). To help raise awareness about the musculoskeletal
disease students kindergarten to grade 4, hopped, danced, jumped and moved
around the school gym. During the event, students were excited to have their
faces painted by parents volunteers and enjoyed a healthy snack provided by
their community partner Atlantic Superstore. Fundraising efforts by
students and their families generated over $1800 for Muscular Dystrophy Canada.
The money raised by LBS will go directly to individuals affected by M.D.
through services, research and education provided by the non-for profit
organization. Lord Beaverbrook School would like to thank everyone who helped
make HOP for muscular dystrophy a success. (photo courtesy of Aysleigh
