LBS Students HOP for Muscular Dystrophy

Posted: May 7, 2014

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 Lefurgey, Community School Coordinator)
